Busy kids!

Good morning,

A little update on what the kids have been up to...

Today I would like to say a big thank you to our friends that drove out to visit this week - and an even bigger thank you for appreciating the fact that we DO have livestock in our basement for the time being.  :)

We had a great week - after our sad goodbye on Wednesday the girls had some friends out to visit which was just what they needed.  Nicole and her friend even baked a cake using duck eggs on a rainy afternoon - they did a great job.  The duck eggs made a moist, dense cake.

On one afternoon while cleaning out the barn, Derek found a wooden panel that reminded us of a window pane without the glass.  Not sure why, but the girls and I were inspired to paint it!  We spent a quiet afternoon painting this wooden frame as well as some plant pots before beading some wire.

 In short work we had ourselves a nice little piece of white and turquoise garden art for our raspberry bushes to grow around!

With sunny skies on Saturday we spent the day mowing the lawn, stacking firewood and working on the exterior of the barn.  To unwind at the end of the day we treated ourselves to family movie night on the deck - a big thank you to a very generous friend for use of his projector.  The girls chose the movie 'The Box Trolls'.. a cute little movie.  I enjoyed the cool breeze, a book and my glass of wine.
