The sale was as successful I suppose. We got rid of things that we needed to even if it meant a trip to the donation center. It was a hard weekend. Still no offers on the house. Still navigating final bills and closure. The sale definitely made it more real. In other happenings we got a much needed City trip in and had the little girls this week. They are growing so fast. So is our Northern girl. Seeing her in pictures/videos this week, especially at her horse lessons, tell us how big she is getting. When she stayed with us a few weeks ago she wanted to know if we were taking a ROADA road trip. Well, we are now. If you want to make a trip with us then we most certainly are! Destination to be determined. Her actual question was "are we taking ROADA to see the trains again?"

As warm as it's been this week we jokingly said we need to go to the lake with the paddleboards. I think that it's really not a joke! When it's 90 degrees you should be at the lake! Still got lots of household chores to do and exterior home maintenace we need to get completed. This weather is a bit warm to be wanting to get out doing those chores. And allergies are off the charts. I'm not usually an allergy sufferer but have been in recent years and it stinks, MiRV, on the other hand, has had them very bad since I have known him. He has been miserable as of late. My ears are still a bit plugged and I've still got a lingering cough. Ready for this sickness season to be O.V.E.R.

Happy Spring! It seems that we might have gone straight into summer though!

Somewhat quiet around the Meadow this week. A Northern Bee went back home on Sunday and MiRV stayed a couple days working on the bathroom reno. Yesterday we had his return and a sick little one that was not having a good day. Today is drizzly and quite cool. We have a sale this weekend at the folks so it's a bit of a downer around here with it being Mother's Day on top of that...but we will make it.

We enjoyed our weekend of Easter festivities. We started with an egg coloring fest, then had an egghunt at the farm. Weather cooperated for the most part after a quick moving shower anda bit more wind then we would have liked it was still all good. 



Oh and we had a girl decide to stay the week at the Meadow instead of go back North. We are coming up with all kinds of excitement. Went to a track meet on Monday, headed out on a park trip Tuesday and who knows what today will bring. Little cousins will be at the Meadow tomorrow for the day and Friday we are wide open but have some great options brewing. Not exactly sure when her return date is but we are loving her being here!

We were not together for Easter this year but they will be down tomorrow. This year too many different directions for others to go so we will gather this weekend. Praying for good weather so we can go to the farm. We did do a video call that was awesome to see their faces!

Annnnnnd we are in another struggle with the darn birds again. Seems like the finch don't care about the bird spikes, appears they are small enough to just get inbetween the spikes and not be bothered at all. So we've added the mylar tape back in the mix. That doesn't seem to be bothering them at all either. They are also enjoying our ceiling fan base and the top of the new light fixture out on the big garage. To deter them on the ceiling fan if we see them we flip the switch to turn it on!


This is turning into an annual event...one I an NOT enjoying!

It wouldn't be so bad, I guess, but they poop EVERYWHERE. On the concrete, on the grill covers, on the patio furniture, and on and on. I am forever cleaning up bird poop! YUCK! Stay tuned for the most exciting bird deterrence program around...

 We are still experimenting with the new griddle. Fried rice!


We've also had Little Girls. Good to see them; they've had good days at the Meadow.

Yesterday was hard. Yesterday was honoring, Yesterday was necessary, Yesterday is yesterday. 




Yesterday's memories are still fresh, raw. We will move forward. We will enjoy our memories and we will make new ones. We will make it...

Today we are truly thankful to wake to a new day.
