I'm playing some serious catch-up on my blog because of all the testing I've had to do with students over the past month. I decided to just go back and start from the beginning with everything so you can catch up and be up to date, too! About three weeks ago Ted decided to move … Continue reading Wild Bindi
Four testing weeks…
...every spring. That's how long I spend testing students, grades three through eight, and all because the state requires these tests. I won't get on that soapbox though. This is just a quick excuse post to let you know that testing wraps up this week, and I have tons of pictures and blog posts to … Continue reading Four testing weeks…

What a deal!!!
I pass a Christmas tree farm daily, and recently I noticed there was a small tractor setting at the foot of the driveway with a few implements for sale. I gave the owner a call a few days ago, and Ted and I went over to take a look at everything last night. We already … Continue reading What a deal!!!

Meet Picky Mao
Last week, SOMEBODY (*my oldest son*) dropped off this little scrawny gray kitten at our house (the kitten was dumped at his house first).

Ted loves his new wood chipper. He was up and working down at the barn Sunday morning, and he only stopped long enough to eat lunch; then he was right back at it. I wish I'd taken a before picture because he really did a great job clearing out a pile of brush that was … Continue reading Back at it

Ted decided a couple of weekends ago to rent a wood chipper to try to clean up a bunch of small downed trees and branches on the three acre pasture, but it was already rented and had a waiting list. He called around to price them, and nobody had one in stock, so suddenly he … Continue reading Happy early birthday to Ted!

A catch up post
We've been busy, busy, busy the past five days here! Saturday was our oldest daughter's birthday, but she's currently living in Brazil, so we didn't get to celebrate with her. She's having a blast though and will be home in April, so we're looking forward to celebrating her 25th birthday once she's back. She spent … Continue reading A catch up post

New chicks!
Ted came home from work last night with two cheeping boxes filled with chicks from the Rural King he passed after work. My living room now has a plastic bin of little yellow and black chicks because he wanted "to add a little more variety to our flock". These little peepers are LOUD. They're nice … Continue reading New chicks!
