Mother's Day Recap - 2 Events Down... More to Go!

Some of my new plants! I also got strawberry plants
They are all in the garage,
hidden from the chickens
The chickens should be moving to their new home by Friday
Then the yard is all mine!
Except for the bummer lambs

The kidlets and Me
In a nice, toasty greenhouse!
Oh was it heaven...
Now I know where to run too when it's cold...

My Apprentice!
The new Lawn Ranger!
Yahoo!!!
I'm free!
(well, except for touch ups, raking, etc. etc.)

Sami and Mr. Deere
And a few of our Heifers looking on!
I have to start the mower for her. Her legs are not quite long enough!

The Raker
Dude!
That's actually a shovel. He had other duties - in the dog pen,
before raking...

Yesterday was wonderful! Well, the whole weekend, really... Even though Jake has been fighting a nasty cold...(he missed 2 days of school and a field trip)... he's finally on the mend... His sister 'was nice enough' to bring home all his homework on Thursday, and he got to catch up.. somewhat... last night was a a furious 'model building' project - the courthouse.. Something for history? Beats me... All I know is we got to use my scrappy supplies.. Fun!


Here's the Low Down:

Friday Night: The Pendleton Farmer's Market: Sami went with me. Home at 10pm. I bought 2 new plants! Geraniums... Love their earthy smell...

Saturday: Yard work! I trained my new apprentice... Sami, how to mow! She's going to be an excellent driver.. Very conscience! She and Mr. Deere are fast friends now... Saturday night, we went out to dinner.. All four of us... no babysitter, so we all celebrated our 14th year Anniversary at the Haines Steakhouse...

Sunday: Started with more yard work! Jake was recruited as a raker.. Sami still mowed.. I got to rake, weed, supervise... Then off to the Ace Greenhouse, Mexican Restaurant and back home...

Lambing season is going strong!!!

We are up to 5 bummer lambs now...they are in the garage under heat lambs.

Bottle feeding schedule:
6 am (me)
11 am (me, when no kids)
4pm (kids)
8 pm. (kids)


It's a small world out here in our area. The nursery is owned by Sami's teacher's husband. So Sami's teacher was working.. She works 2 jobs this time of year - in addition to being the school principal.. Make that 3 jobs! That woman deserves a medal! Man.. I thought I had luggage under my eyes...

We ran into Jake's teacher at the nursery also!

And, one of the gals working was the La Grande market manager last year, and she just so happens to work in Human Resources full time, at the University... She said she has seen my name on the two jobs I applied for and that I am 'in the running' and doing well!

Oh cheese. To small of a world at times!

Tonight is my other interview!
