Painting with Andrew

On Thursday I had the chance to go to work with Andrew. I did a lot of painting on a long board fence. Andrew worked on that with me as well as fixing a little fence in front and painting some shutters brown.

The fence Andrew repaired and also painted.

The fence I worked on all day.

Cleaning up the paint supplies.


We were doing the projects for a sweet older lady and afterwards she gave me a big bouquet of peonies.

At the Beach

Yesterday was so warm that we decided to go over to the river after Andrew got home from work. We brought dinner along and ate on the beach. We had a nice time walking in the water, cooling off a little and having fun.

Andrew is jealous because his isn't as big as mine! Well not really, I just thought this would be a funny picture :)

Apple Blossom White

Our apple and crab apple trees are in full bloom. They are so beautiful. This morning it reminded me of a song... It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, when you're in love...

Yardsales

We have been enjoying spending Saturday mornings going to yardsales. It is so fun to find good deals on items we need. Last weekend we loaded the car up quite full. We got seventeen boxex of canning jars and lots of other stuff, too.

Wildflowers

I took a walk in the back of the property and found some gorgeous wildflowers. I picked a large bunch of them and made bouquets for all over the house.

Baby Update

Baby is growing and quite active now. This is what I looked like about a week ago.

Fruit Trees and Blueberries

We recently had our fruit tree order arrive. That was an exciting day! We also got five blueberry bushes. Andrew's brothers have been a big help to us in getting them all planted.

Mother's Day Tea

The Friday before Mother' s Day, Andrew's mom put on a mother daughter tea. It was a lovely time of visiting.
