So yesterday was Mothers Day. It was epic (one of my daughters favorite words... and I like it too)
I got to sleep in, got cards, presents and chocolates ~ Tom made me breakfast and a delicious German Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Yes, I am spoiled!
Then he helped me put together the bagger for the lawn tractor and I spent several hours mowing our yard! It was pretty fun actually. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the chickens wander the newly mowed areas. I don't know if it's possible to tell or not, but they seem pretty happy to me and that makes me feel good. Tom got the chain saw working and cut up the large tree limb we had sitting in the front yard for the past couple weeks. It had to be cut down for Steph's tree swing. After having lived in a community with a home owners association for the past 9 years we both kept getting the feeling that we should be getting a call or complaint about it being out there longer than a day or two.... HA! We're freeeeee!!!!
Tom also assembled our new grill! It's a combo grill that has two sides~ one for propane gas and one for charcoal. LOVE IT! Tom grilled up a pork roast and sweet potatoes and Steph made steamed veggies and saffron rice.
The house is really stating to feel like ours. I can finally picture us spending many wonderful hours grilling out back and doing all the things we've always dreamed of doing. Gardening and pottery ~ of course we still have tons of work to do to get that going! The Yard Dragons are out and about now too! Two are currently around the barn and one is on the south side of the house. Can't wait to make more!
