Siding Going Up

 It's pretty windy out there...

but if you play your cards right

(And Kyle usually does)

you can work on the side of the

house that's NOT in the wind.

So yesterday he finished the

South side of the house.

Looking good, eh?

The raw board on the bottom is where we will

attach the deck and above will be the deck roof.

But we have to get the septic tank in first,

since the pipes run under the deck.

Yesterday Rod went into town (by himself)

and picked up all the PVC to run the pipes

under the house and out to the septic.

We dropped it all off today.

Had to pick up 500# of pig feed,

so did it all in one trip.

Tomorrow he's going to start working

on the plumbing.

He's SO EXCITED to finally be able to

do something besides sit in his chair

and walk on his treadmill.

He PROMISED to listen to his body

and not over do.

Meanwhile, it was 74 out there today!

(And windy)

We dug down into the rows and discovered

some little pea seeds that have germinated.

Another day or two and they should

break the surface of the soil and we

will see little pea plants!!!!

I'm so excited!

We are going to have an artic blast 

(hopefully the last) on Sunday.

But then it looks like it's going to be

spring weather going forward.

We just got back from a quick trip to

our little town grocery store (Malays).

They are having a big 3-day sale.

We got some personal frozen pizzas for

$0.50 each, some pot pies for $1. each

and some hot dogs for $0.97.

(And buns for $2.09..... lol. Not on sale.)

We like to support our little grocery

store when we can.

Sometimes their prices are just too high,

but when you just need a gallon of milk

or whatever, it's cheaper to pay their

prices than to make a trip into Hays.

And they DO have some awesome

specialty things we can't get at WalMart.

Like their stuffed mushrooms.

SOOO yummy!

Anyhow.

It was a fun day and we got quite a 

bit accomplished.

And now I think I'm going to go make

us some hotdogs and BBQ potato chips

for dinner.

Sounds like fun.

Oh, and we got a single daffodil.

He doesn't look too happy.

Better get some water on him!
