Spring Break 2017

Spring break is here. We started with a bit of stomach flu, but things are better now!
Today we have been building a new pen for yearling goats, and enjoying the 80+ degree beautiful weather!

The kids had fun watching our neighbor burn brush and watching the guys on 4 wheelers, and pump trucks keep it under control! It's frightening how fast living red cedar trees burn to nothing!

Our neighbor also offered to use his tractor to till up a garden. I was thrilled, as I was not sure we could get our tiller running! He worked in exchange he for eggs, which we have plenty of! :)

Blitz was incredibly helpful with this project! We will be putting potatoes in stackers again, as this is so easy! As for the rest, we will be using the birthing pen bedding to mulch it out and have it ready for plants in a couple of weeks! The kids are excited about gardening (except for Preston- he doesn't know why anyone wastes their time growing vegetables!). Maybe this fall when he's eating spaghetti sauce and salsa he will be happy for the work he's going to put in!

Colin is home, but will be leaving for a trip to Tablerock. The rest of us have plans, but nothing quite as exciting. Finishing some projects and having some fun as a family are on the agenda!
