The weather has been so dry here. We really need some rain. It sprinkled over the weekend. It seems whenever we decide to build fence it rains! We put in the corner posts to build the fence in our front yard. That is such a slow and tedious job. Yuck! You have to make sure the measurements are right, etc. It is also hard to dig holes when the ground is so dry! So, it took us all afternoon to put in eight 6x8 posts. Our goal is to fence of the left side of our property to put horses on it and rotate the pastures. We will eventually fence off the entire front yard and have gates on our drive way. That will be hard because our lawn is so beautiful when it is freshly cut. However, Ryan and I are so not into mowing lawn!
Speaking of, last night I decided to mow the strip of grass that leads out to the barn. All was good until the lawn mower started sounding funny. I was worried that it might be the pin breaking again. If only! The whole motor decided to freeze up! ARG! We have two riding lawn mowers so we have a back up. But it sucks when you have a couple of acres to mow and only one lawn mower. So, we are not sure what we will do. If we can't fix it we hope to at least sell it for parts and look for another one. We defiantly have to get the blades fixed on the big lawn mower now so we can move past the turtle speed!!
We only have a couple of more weeks left of school. Yes! I'm chomping at the bit this year for summer. Unfortunately we don't get out til June 6th (kids get out June 5). Normally we are out the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. They changed it this year. Someone decided that the end of August is a lot cooler than the middle of August for the sports teams.
I guess that's it for now...TTYL
