What Fun!

What a great day we had. I slept in until 8:00, and did barn chores. Then we went over to the school, where the FFA was selling plants from their greenhouse. We got a good deal on some plants, and helped out the school in the process.

Then we headed over to Pamida. I love Pamida! It's a great store, and only little towns have them. You can get some great deals there.

I came home and did some gardening, and more cleaning up the yard. We have some cement pads in our far backyard, which we have recently cleared and are trying to neaten up. On one of the pads we made a fire pit. We stacked up some bricks in an enclosure, and bought a grate for it. We had to test it out by cooking brats and s'mores on it tonight!

While we were silently eating our brats, all of us over-hungry because it had taken so long for construction and fire-creating, a big owl flew right past us. It came only a few feet from B's head! We didn't hear it call, though. It was beautiful.

We also made May baskets today. We put some candy in them, and will cut some lilacs to put in them tomorrow before we deliver them. I hope neither of my kids gets kissed tomorrow. We made them for our neighbors-- including Bubba. We can't leave anyone out.

Speaking of Bubba, we drove past today and saw that he bought the girl a trampoline. I am just waiting for our kids to ask to go over and play. We don't have good luck, so the answer will be no.

Hope your Saturday was just as memorable!
