Spring Snippets

A few glimpses of our spring season thus far…

Spring has officially arrived when the daffodils are in bloom! The beautiful yellow ones had gone wild all around a lovely abandoned old mansion.

Winshaw – emerging from winter, ready for sunshine and warmth!

The windy March provided excellent diaper – drying weather.

An adorable little bridge Jordan and Alan constructed one day. Its been very nice not having to step over the drain area! (this won’t be an issue one we get our permanent plumbing installed)

I have so many books going, it’s ridiculous.

Our beautiful new walnut dining table – this was a handmade gift from some special friends, and we are so honored to give it a home. Many meals and conversations will take place here!

Dogwood blossoms. I would love to have a pink and white dogwood trees near the house somday.

A new spring dress for Marian. I’m making it a priority this year to make them new clothes myself when they need something before I run out and just buy by default.

Setting out our plants to go into the ground. I love watching things grow. We are expanding our garden spot this year, and I am excited and a bit anxious to see how everything turns out!

A garden helper who was being rather whiny. Nap time and all that, you know.

Little Man loves his baby sister!

We so enjoyed keeping a neighbor’s milk cow last week. Jordan and I both grew up with milk cows around, and it just makes the place seem so homey. :)

Milk and cream galore! We were getting about 2 gallons a day.

Several times during the week I made butter. It was beautifully yellow – all that fresh spring grass!

Our old dining table moved to the porch, where I’ve got a few herbs started.

French toast and pretty china.

Elsie helping with laundry! I makes a good place for her to sit while Marian and I take the clean clothes off the line.

Happy Spring!

  3. I’m so glad I found your site again- I forgot the name of it. I’m from the Sewing Academy.

    It’s really interesting to see what you have done now, after all the years. Are you planning to have animals in the future?

    I just love the gradual progress and working at a long-distance goal and getting to gradually feel the progress as things get easier, as well as harder as one’s life gets filled up more.
