Time Flies

It just isn't possible to keep up with each passing day.  We have been busily working in our garden over the last week(s).  On Saturday we planted our red and yellow raspberries, black berries, asparagus, rhubarb, elderberry, and currants, not to mention a few additions to the regular vegetable garden.  I picked a thousand peonies this last week and they are gorgeous and make me feel abundantly glad about life; this is what I call living!

The kiddos are winding down the school year, Zach had his first band concert, also the last for this year.  He is doing really well with the trumpet and looks forward to playing (through the summer) next year as well.

Bella just had her living museum at school where they were to select a famous American, research their lives and dress up as that person at school and tell classmates and families all about their particular person.  Bella chose Mary Cassatt.  I have to say she was a brilliant choice, I think there is a little artist in Isabella and she pulled it off beautifully! 

We started our first project of interior remodeling, starting on a small project, namely the mud room.  It has become the new home to our freezer- we will add a bench and some shelves later. Our hardest decision has been trying to figure out where to begin.  So alas we began outside, we will move the projects inside as the weather gets less lovely- for now it is off to mow the lawn for me!
