MY DOGWOOD TREES...


I was out mowing the tree line this afternoon. I was so excited to see my dogwood trees blooming. We have been here in IN 8 yrs now. When we first bought this property the trees were so small we did not even know they were here til after the signing when the guy we bought from came out and told us. The dogwoods were slow growing. The last couple years they blooming here and there but the trees have really grown this winter and they are really looking nice.

THE FIRST FIBER EVENT OF THE SEASON

WE JUST CAME BACK FROM THE FIRST FIBER SHOW OF THE YEAR. It was a beautiful weekend in GreenCastle IN...We met lots of new people and visited with lots of friends...It was good to hear what everyone has going on.

We got home and bailed out to go check on everybody. Jarrod was here to open gates in the morning & close at night. I had everybody well watered before we left and we gave plenty of hay so everyone was fine. We had some new chicks that hatched before we left so was glad all them were doing well and Chase, my white cat was fine. He was glad to see me...

We are counting the days til Hoosier Hills Fiber Show. Franklin IN ...

I have the washer going, got the dishes done and have chicken breast and beef ribs in the oven cooking. David has gone to Tractor Supply. We have a new one near us and had a good coupon so he went to get more gates. We are doing up a couple pens in the barn for the Finn sheep and want to get them done this week. Flaker's is bagging up nicely.

I am heading out to go fill up water tubes...Going to do some accounting studying. Have a test tomorrow night. I think I have about 4 more classes left in this semester. I was thinking I had time for this. I am getting it done but having to squeeze in the study part. I know for sure I couldn't do it in the fall....At least I can relate well now to what the kids have going on...

I have a couple spinning wheels coming in I intend to stain in colors....I can't wait. Maybe they will get here this week while there is so much sun shining....
