Gorgeous Weekend 04/28/2009
We were promised some honest-to-goodness real Springtime weather over this past weekend...and sure enough! We got it! Right up to 70 degrees, sunshine, short sleeves and shorts, too!! Our friends, Mark and Jen, brought their kiddos over to our land on Saturday...with Bailey their big husky-mix dog....that chased and ran... panted in the shade for a few minutes with the kids.... then ran and chased some more!! The guys continued to mill out more beams and lumber... Later more neighbor friends, the Grants and the Dows, came over in the afternoon so we took the opportunity to grill up hamburgers and hot dogs... then roast marshmallows (of course!) over a bonfire. I keep wondering what my yard will actually look like once we have no huge logs lying across it!

All of the neighbors from miles around would join together to work until the job was completed. At the same time, the women would cook great feasts for hungry men. It looks like you have a bit of the same American tradition going on here. mom Fri, 01 May 2009 19:36:31 How great to have all that space for all the children (& dog) to race around in. I'm glad your friends enjoy enjoying it with you. And it certainly adds an undefinable "something" to the flavor of hot dogs & hamburgers!!! Perhaps it's called "appetite"! mom Fri, 01 May 2009 19:43:58 P.S. Forgot to exclaim "WHAT A SKY!!" That's a beautiful shot--& an inspired way to introduce your theme! 70 degrees--thought it would NEVER get there again. Snow seems only yesterday. Don't see how so much can get away so fast. Are spring flowers & fruit trees doing their thing, yet? Leave a Reply |
