Good morning everyone! This post is mostly a catch up of some of the things we’ve been doing. Friday, Grace, Katie and I went to Christiansburg (big town). Grace had to take her final exam in biology.  She did great by the way. She only has one more week, one more final exam and she will be out for summer break. Yay! We are looking forward to lots of fun things we have planned. While Grace was taking her exam, Katie and I went to home depot and got the supplies needed for our project. She built the brick walkway Friday evening. Then we built the raised beds yesterday and filled them with plants and seeds. So exciting!! I love that she is interested in gardening!❤

I am experimenting with some pepper seeds. I know it is extremely late to start them but I want to see if they will produce any fruit. We’ll see how it goes.

Another project we did was split our wood for the winter. Daniel was able to help us this year. He couldn’t help last year because he had broken his collarbone.

We sure are thankful for his help!

Sam helped with puttting down some new landscape fabric and burn new holes!

Katie helped with getting some early seeds started.

John Luke helped with some measuring.

Baptism and confirmation day into the Catholic church!

Dave took us out to eat afterward to celebrate.  I just love this picture of Grace and Katie.

We did some cleaning up around the house and one the of things we removed was some  vines. Apparently mixed in with those vines was some poison oak. I am highly allergic as you can see. Both my arms were broken out. These pictures were taken after a week of misery.

On a lighter note, flowers are starting to bloom

Asparagus is coming in and we are enjoying meals on the Blackstone!

God is GOOD!
