WE HAVE BEEN BUSY!

We* have been really busy this Spring. 

 We* mulched the blueberry patch.


 I think we will have a nice amount of blueberries this summer!


We* planted a nice garden.


We* opened the pool.





Karl and Amanda picked strawberries.




Our neighbor Travis plowed and planted corn for us. Doesn't he have a nice tractor? 




Our Memorial weekend started out a little scary. Charlie my aging Old English Sheepdog met up with a snake by our backyard pond. The snake bit him and he fell into the pond. Charlie was not able to get out of the pond and I was the only one home to help him. I did rescue him and we ended up a muddy mess! I hosed us off and noticed his leg was swelling up. After a trip to his vet we learned that he was bitten by a snake more then one place. The snakes bites caused cellulitis. Charlie is recovering nicely with antibiotics. We* will be getting rid of the pond this Fall as Charlie and I do not like snakes!!





After all that we have been up to I thought an easy wood fired meal would be best. I bought a Tenderloin already marinated and we* grilled it in our oven.  Fast and easy was the way to go! We* picked some delicious lettuce from the garden and I made a big salad. Wood fired cooking can be sooo easy!





 We* means Karl! He points that out to me every time I find a new project that we* need to do...
