Rolling Acres - This and That

[Wehner Homestead]

There’s nothing better than those hand-made gifts and the joy on their face when you praise their creations!!

I worked today but that’s okay. I got some very cute Kindergarten-made gifts from DD1, a hug from DS, and a kiss and “I love you” from DD2. Worth it all to me!! (Oh and Blossom!)

I love those hand-made gifts! Nothing beats hugs and kisses from your kids and them saying "I love you"!

Those early ones are the ones that make the best impression in their memories.

The weather has been nice around here and I'm really itching to start planting my garden, but I know it's still a little early around here. I normally wait until after Memorial Day to start planting outside. The rhubarb is growing like a weed and all my fruit trees are blooming (so are all the other trees around), needless to say my allergies is really acting up!
The cows are grazing happily in the paddock. I'm sure they much prefer fresh green grass than dried up hay. Or maybe they just don't care.

I think like our critters they just like being able to wander.

I think I'm going to start transplanting some of my seedlings outside this weekend. I found my garden hoops yesterday, so IF frost is in the forecast, I can cover up the plants.

After seeing @Baymule 's nice pigs in another thread, I really want to get some! But right now the timing isn't so good. We need to get our financial situation situated first before going to get more animals. DH has been out of work since October of last year, he hurt his ankle at work. So far his doctor can't clear him 100% because his ankle is still swollen. Surgery would probably be the next step. On the brighter side, he's home to get my son off the bus and they get to hang out, so save money on childcare. And he takes pictures like my lilac below and sends them to me.

A garden is a good thing to have, when tough times are upon you, a garden is invaluable! That is tough about your husbands injury, I hope it heals soon.

Sorry to hear DH is walking (limping?) wounded. Hope he can get that ankle straightened out. A garden would really be helpful to you folks.

DH is walking with a limp. It's a severe sprain on the ankle that doctor said he would have been better off if it was broken. DH is a truck driver, so with the sprained ankle, he's unable to use the clutch and he can't fit into work boots, which are required for his line of work. He wants to go back to work but not being 100% no one would let him work.

Sucks to want to work and not be able to when a lot of employers have employees they WANT to work, who don't...
