Welcome to our new family blog! We are all enjoying a rainy Saturday. During the past week we have put in new sod, installed outdoor lighting and finished planting the vegetable gardens. The rain comes at a perfect time! The boys have enjoyed the first full week of summer vacation. There have been a lot of popsicles and muddy fingers and toes. The first set of squirt guns have already passed through the doors and been worn out. We don't consider the day a complete success if the kids don't need a change of clothes at lunch and a bath before bed. We are hoping to enjoy a rhubarb cake for dessert tonight. That is the first of our harvest every year.
Dad and Annette shared a piece of old shelving from the Hayward property with us a few weeks ago. We had initially planned to use it as a garden shelf, but plans changed and we used it in kitchen to store dry goods and canning equipment. Like usual, we find that the older the household item is, the more we love it!
