Lazy Spring Days

The resident barn cat, a.k.a. Pepper Jack, loves to lay in the hay to sun bathe. And today, he's taking a bath.

This one's for Grace and Frankie!

It's a rare moment when he can get ole Bear out of the bin!

Trenching must be a manly thing. Along with the propensity for finding rocky soil, and the distaste for digging holes. Right up there with hitting existing sprinkler lines. ARGHHH! A project for next weekend. Back to the real world of PT and teaching.

So, we went to the trusty Home Depot today and rented a "trencher". Yeah, the "ground hog" is actually a trencher. It makes a small 4" trench. Why trench, you say? We are trenching around the perimeter of the lawn so we can bury some electrical lines that will allow Lynn to put lights in the flower beds.

Who Says It's Not Spring Yet?

It may be that Puxatawnney Phil went back to bed, but here in Idaho the suggestions of spring with 65 degrees this ground hog is gettin' busy!

Part of the plan, oh and yes, Lynn gets to run yet another piece of "man-equipment".

And So We Begin . . .

Being new to this whole "blogging" thing, I'm not quite certain just how I'm going to do. I hope that you will all bear with me while I poke my way through a multitude of choices to customize. (ARGHGH!)

Life on Windy Ridge changes slowly while we continue making progress toward our goals for the outside and inside of the house, and the ever-evolving layout of the land known as the farm. That being said, I share the finished version of a new walkway and patio in our backyard. Spring will bring the promise of shrubs and flowers with new leaves on the young trees. The walkway and patio were quite a project; spanning 3 weekends of consistent labor by myself and Lynn.
