Hey everyone... I know I've been a bit out of cognito of recent. The weather being warm and the yard coming into season has found us working away on several on-going projects that require our attention. There were too many leaves left unchecked in the fall and now we reap the consequences of procratination.

Then add breeding season and an early kick injury to one of our studs which has required some time, attention and TLC.

If this isn't enough, I have two kids home from school full time. One due to disciplinary matters and the other because he's new and the school doesn't know what to do with him with only less than two weeks of school remaining.

I know, sounds like excuses to me too, but it's the best I can do for now.

That pretty much brings everyone up to date... Or not???? Chad has decided to go gang busters on his yard next the little house. He has roped Nick into helping and gee it looks good! He terraced the sloped walk way with flag stone steps, put in a grassy area with cute little edging fence, lots of decor mulch and walk way lights too boot! I think he comes by it naturally as my Mom and I have over the years found any number of projects for every space that didn't necessarily need anything added or subtracted to be acceptable. Such as the ponds in the front yard that resulted in a severed phone line and a large hole put in the leach field piping. We do tend to take care of our own screw ups, such as the leach field pipe incident. I didn't think I would ever really want to admit to what occured that day, but in hind sight many years later the ponds are beautiful and the memory is really rather funny!

We are discussing our demolition projects beginning soon. I am a bit nervous to start taking everything apart without having a back up plan in place. As horrible as they may look, they do still serve as some sort of weather break to date. However, I fear we won't get anything restored if we don't just go for it and remove all of the eye sore in the first place. I suppose most know what I mean here.
After all, The Secret would have me visualizing what all I want done and seeing it through...

It is my go to Denver and sit around all afternoon waiting on appointments to be over. Therefore I best be signing off for now.

Have a great day and God Bless!
