We know what we are, but know not what we may be. William Shakespeare

Good day!
Hope you're all well & safe!

I'll show you the card I made for Bryson, then you can get on with your day!


I stamped a couple extra so he could color and give to someone to have a good day!

Here's our new(to us) tractor.
Kalen has the spray for the fruit trees in the trailer!
 We then attached the rototiller, and he worked up a space in the back for a garden.
Crazy I say, as the garden boxes will hold tons of stuff!

In the back, we planted squash, zucchini, peas, beans, corn, garlic sunflowers, leeks, and onions! 
The boxes, so far, have, garlic, onions & radishes.
Oh, one has strawberries from last year, but they will be relocated to the ground one of these days!
I have bought bedding plants, tomatoes, peppers etc., but it's too early yet to put them out!

The fruit trees are starting to bloom!
Cherries

And apples

 


I have made room for duel lawn mower parking!
 


 As it's mowing season, and we don't have the mower attachment on the tractor yet!
Kalen's back has been sore, so can't lay on the ground to attach it!
He can push though, so that's what we've been doing!
I start the mower; but he can push!!
 
Kalen has, in the last few days planted 6 more cedars, 5 junipers, a lilac, an unidentified tree from mom's flower bed, a tamarack, 2 holly; pretty sure I'm missing something!
He has bamboo yet to plant, and a sumac!
He can't bend over, so everything is done from an uncomfortable looking (to me), squat & kneeling!
I reloaded a cedar yesterday into the wheelbarrow, when he had taken it out to see how it looked.
It didn't go there!! Haha!
 
I have been pulling around the dandelion bar, and need to mix up a batch of weed killer, so the creeping thyme can be planted around the stones in the garden. I am hoping it chokes the weeds out, so we don't have to spray!
 
Progress on the wandering path from the back door to the garden.
 


 All the stones are dug in except the closest one to the back step, and the one closest to the garden!
I might have to get out a bigger shovel!
It looks pretty darn cool!

I have 4 tulips!!
These are up by the house.
I figure the deer don't like walking on the sidewalk, so these are safe!
 
We had a wiener roast with mom at her place Friday night. 
We still don't go in.
We took food, and our own drinks.
Just trying to stay safe!

She was asking if Bryson was coming this summer.
I said, "no one can go anywhere!.
She forgets!
 
I make her go shopping at 7 when the elderly & immunocompromised can go. 
She tells me she's back home before the germs are out!

Better go!
It's raining.
I've been doing laundry, and I'm going to bake cookies.
 
Here's my quad family I miss so much!!



Here's this face, after a day of quading!



Apparently, he won't wear his goggles!!
Jeez!

Wash your hands & stay safe!

Talk to ya later!

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.~Desmond Tutu

Good day!
Hope you're all well!
I made some Easter cards.

Bryson's

 It's little bunnies hiding in the grass.
I really had to improvise, as I thought I had a daisy punch.
I did, a baby one.
Grass? Maybe, but I found the drippy goo die!
He loves it!

This one is for mom.
Haven't seen her for weeks!
She says she's good.
It got put in the mail!
You know, wash your hands, stay home, stay safe.


This one is for Vanessa & Harley!
I had to get them both in the truck, cause Mr. B would notice if someone was missing!





This next one is for Kalen.
He leaves Tuesday for his last shift for work!
It's been wavering between winter & spring, so hope the roads are good. 




I actually dug out my winter coat, boots and mitts for the weekend!
Good gravy, I'm so ready for Spring! 
It hasn't been a lot of fun to be trying to do yard work!

I haven't been shopping for 2 weeks, and am seriously thinking about ordering online. Then they bring it to your car.
I am getting so paranoid! 

I am still going to work.
I do what I have to then come home to my safe house and yard!
I like reading some of the stuff out there, and I don't want to offend anyone, but you gotta laugh sometimes!

Some will come out of this lock down with excellent cooking skills, others with a drinking problem. 

50 Coronavirus Jokes That Should Help You Get Through Quarantine ... 
 I never hoarded!
I have yet to buy hand sanitizer or wipes!
I know the stores get them in, I have never been in one at the right time!
I did make my own wipes.
Toilet paper is available.
Our stores are limiting these items.

That's all I got!
Stay safe everyone!
Talk to ya later!
