BUSY SPRING

 here it is almost July and i sure have not been very good about posting...oh there is lots of excuses but for the most part we have been busy..

first as some know i had knee replacement the end of april so that has taken up alot of my time going to dr's appt and physical therepy..

then May 1st it was spring turkey season and you know who was busy hunting..he was successful in filling 3 tags so now the freezer has some wild turkey (not in a bottle)..

got the garden in and lar came up with an idea of putting in some raised beds and they seem to be doing quite well...as a matter of fact we are eating green onions and today had some fresh lettuce on our sandwiches so that was  a treat...now we have a woodchuck that seems to want to get in the garden...it has eaten some of the leaves on a few plants but they look like they are going to recover time will tell...we have not had to water the garden other than first planting it as mother nature has taken care of that...but it has been wet enough that we have not been able to get in it to do much weeding..but not my favorite job anyway..

last week we had some habitat company...and it was good to see them since winter...enjoy dinner with a couple of habitat couples...

;also during that time we have had damaging rains and flooding in the area...funny haw it goes but for us at the house we had only 3/4 inches of rain but if you go a mile down the road they got over 4 inches...lots of roads washed out and even a railroad bridge...

the big project for us has been having a new roof put on ..we knew that we needed one for the last couple of years but of course kept putting it ...he would get up on the roof and think he patched up some trouble spots and we wouldn't have any leakage till it rain hard ahhahaha...last fall we checked with a company about making arrangements to have a new roof and was told call in the spring..so he did right when we returned back home only to be told that they were not taking on any more jobs ...so off to lowe's we went and made arrangements with them...finally they arrived in between rain storms to do the job this week..he three days we now have a new roof...lar was impressed with the work they did...a young crew all under the age of 25 we are sure...so now it can keep right on raining cause we have a new roof....
