Beautiful Evening Sky

 

            

Play and Sleepover

We picked up the girls and went to see Jessica in her play.  It was awesome :)

Airstream Planning

One possible plan for the '54 Cruiser.  Always fun and exciting to dream and plan. Doug drew this up last week while we were celebrating at Mama Maria's.  Love the crayons and paper table covering.

Dreaming of Tiramisu

My favorite dessert of all time.  Mama Maria's makes the best!

Gonna Give it a Whirl

Found these awesome pillowcases to make, and an on-line tutorial to boot! Yippee.

Spring is on its Way

Getting ready to plant seeds.  Making paper pots.

Sleeping In

I guess Cooper had too much fun with Doug this weekend and needed to catch up on her beauty rest. I found her in our bed sleeping after she had her breakfast.  Mondays would be better enjoyed if we all could do this :)

 

More Progress

Working up on the bowl.  Not sure if it is complete yet or not...

 

Goodbye '57

Celebrate Good Times!

Homemade Love

From the heart is always the best.  Thanks Ellie.  Love You.

Getting Ready to Say Goodbye

Dad was here on Saturday to clear a path and then pull the '57 Airstream from the back pasture.

The Work Continues

Magazine Bowl

Starting another repurposing project.

Happy Valentines Day

Frosty February

Beautiful frosty snowshoe walk today.

 

Tough Work Week

Doug got in a fight with a steel pipe yesterday.

Just Hangin' Out

Cooper likes to nap in this basket while Ben and I do school work.

Cleaning Out

Feeling the spring-cleaning-bug I guess.

 

Before:  Messy kitchen drawer.

After:  Organized "feels good and looks good" kitchen drawer :)

New Cooper Sweater

Felted an old sweater, and made Cooper a snazzy lookin' new coat.

Finally Found One

Seems like Doug has been looking forever, but he finally found a vehicle that we like.  Sunday afternoon we drove to Oakdale to take a look at this 2000 Suburban.  We were sold.

Must Haves:

Fits our budget;  check. 

Low miles (relative to the age of vehicle); check

Color that works for us; check

Luggage racks; check

No rust; check

Looks and drives great; check

Gateway to the Woods

Saturday Drive

Transmission went out in the Tahoe again, so we drove to the "cities" yesterday in search of a different vehicle.  Nothing yet.

Walking With Goats

I let the goats out to walk with Cooper and me this morning.  That was a big mistake.  Moose went right back in to their fenced area, but of course Mary had to be obstinate.  She kept "calling" and looking for Doug. She walked into the garage and over by his new shed.  I finally got her through the gate with a bag of chips and I put a leash on her.  There I "won" that one.  Well not really.  They are really funny goats. Who knew goats could have such distinct and different personalities.

 

Ben and a Blue Jay

This poor bird flew into the side of the garage, so he was a little stunned for awhile.

Clothesline

Waiting for warm, breezy days.

New Sock Project

Trying out a new pattern.  Cable Knee Socks.

Door Curtain

Finally, after 10 years, I made a curtain for the door to the downstairs patio. I used material from Doug's Mom, Diamond Willow that Doug's Dad had carved and Deer Horn Buttons that Doug made for me.
