Good Fences

A raccoon left his opinion in the perfect spot along this fence line.

Yep, there a fence here too that needs attention.

Fences?  Yes, that silver line at the bottom of each is a fence.

Last Night I Celebrated Easter

with Robin's eggs, candy kisses and one Cadbury egg. Mmmmmmmmm.  It was the perfect end of very long day.  Also a very nice surprise coming from a teenager's room scattered with dirty socks, candy wrappers and teenage debris.

I've decided to redo Andrew's room and floor.  Actually the hot weather has driven me inside to conquer a much needed interior redo while doing some work on the perimeter as well.

A few weeks ago I created a closet insert from two shelves and boxes.  It certainly solved a problem of not having an organized closet.  I sidetracked and postponed so many times I'm not sure Andrew believes I am finally beginning on his room.

We have found shoes he has lost.  Easter Candy!  Piles of change on many surfaces along with outdated pictures and child hood videos.  There will be some major letting go, some memories revisited and more memories made as we fit this reconstruction around a senior year, football, music, a girlfriend and family time!

We know from the design shows, we must first empty the room.  Since this will not be a one day job I have measured and thought and thought and measured where the "room" will reside until I have the original room finished.  I can't have a solution without some Mad Hatter Tea Party hair brained idea rising from that one thing.

Andrew and I have discussed this new idea.  His present bedroom MAY become his music room, sound proofed for some loud jamming.  We are very proud of his musical accomplishments and want him to have a place just for that...and muted sound for us.

Now we know one of the reasons my sister gifted me this sign!
What is normal anyway??

At The Farm

I'm thinking, what am I doing. This blog is called At The Farm and I am talking about werewolves! Some thing's not right here. I ramble, moan, groan and rant. I should be grateful that we have a wonderful farm and show off some of the highlights.


A few weeks ago I featured a new bridge that my hubby and his grand Kubota made for us. Now last week was a test for the water drainage. This is a dry ditch behind my sister's house. When it rains an inch, it will start running. This shows the muddy water draining from the new road work. The bridge is working fine. We could never have moved it without the help of Kubota man. After the water cleans, it is very pretty and keeps running a few days after the rain. This was a washing spot that we filled with rock to avoid other erosion.


Of course you have met Princess in other posts. She is examining the tree Hubby dragged in (again with his mighty Kubota) to cut and split for Marcy's fireplace. Yes, this is a tree left over from the tornado damage in February.

Knot and Arrow playing. Someone has been scratching on my R, I will have to fix that!

Now we know why Andrew is such a good fullback! When he can get through Lil AND Maggie, no one can stop him. This is the way he practices. Lil and Maggie are always after the football, and he is dodging them.
I still do not know what led me to blog. I have met some wonderful people and learned many things. I have laughed and I have cried. Thank you for stopping by to visit At The Farm.
