Alright, you people-- I was really feeling pretty guilty for only checking the blog, and not adding to the blog. You know some days it just doesn't feel like there is much interesting going on in our lives. Kind of more of the same old!!
It actually decided to rain today, so I can't stuff any more unsuspecting plants in the ground for a few days. Guess it was only about 3/4 an inch, but it washed everything off and sure smells good. Was getting so dry--
On the other hand it is sweatshirt cold again-- what a strange spring!
The men have been making fence again, this time between the sheep pens and the little pasture. They must have pulled up at least three different fences that had grown up beside one another instead of starting all over like it should have. It really looks nice now, thanks to the combined efforts of Grampa, Zach, and Dave-- oh, and of course Jacob!! Think alfalfa cutting is next on the list.
We had a nice weekend at Yankton, although it was a pretty muddy, slippery ride on those river bluffs. Although it is a beautiful trail, I spent most of it with my heart in my throat as we skidded down the steep places. Shimmer needs a little work on her hill and mud handling. Was a lot nicer weekend before when we were at Peace creek. (Half of that fun was watching Jacob manhandle Sis around on that trail. He was getting pretty brave by the end of the weekend).

The trailer works well though-- sleeps good and cooks good. Nice not to have to spend an hour setting up. Oh, by the way we did sell the old trailer. Got our $5,000 for it, but Gail and Bob Weirsma are buying it at a $100 a week payment plan. Probably won't see the full price for a few years yet--
Isabella is coming tomorrow to stay a few days, so I knew I had better write tonite. Might not have much energy left for the next couple of days!
Good luck on the competitions, Wickhams. Will be waiting to hear how it comes out. Kade, keep up the baseball wins- sounds like you are doing great! Jill, the month is flying past, so we'll see you soon. Tammy- I'm sorry to say I have not sewn a stitch for a month. Had to dust the material off the other day. (The yard looks nice, though).
Talk to you later-- Love Mom

Nice post, Sharon. Things have been wet here the past two night as it has rained each night. Kind of nice to hear raindrops outside when under the covers.
We have yet to turn on our air conditioner as it has been pretty cool. We were close on a couple of warmer days, but I struggled through :)
Talk to everyone later.
So great to hear from you mom Kriz...sounds like your weekend riding was fun and we are so glad you guys got the new trailer - it has to make it all a lot easier when traveling.
We do have some news here...Friday morning...Dust and Jen stopped over...they said they had a early Birthday gift for me. I proceeded to open it up and it was a pacifier that says "I love Gramma"! Yep....Christmas Eve is the due date, so we might have an interesting Christmas this year. Of course we are so excited and hoping that they do stay in Marshall for awhile as it would be nice to have a grandbaby close to us :)! Tay is super pumped, she is so funny. This Thursday we get Taylor until Father's Day. I think her and Daddy are planning a trip back home for a few days.
It's so cold and rainy here...we really needed the rain, but my garden could sure use some sun - it's pretty ugly looking this year.
Wickhams...you poop me out thinking about all that you do. Can't wait to find out how you all do.
Love to everyone!!
Tammy
PS: Darcy is looking for an apartment - not much around here that will let you have a dog unless you pay through the nose, but hopefully something will come along. She says hi to everyone too!
