An absolutely beautiful Spring Saturday. Trying to not look at the weather report for tomorrow (we could get anywhere from flurries/rain mix up to 6 inches give or take of snow) as the weather lately has been insane.
Spent this Saturday with Kaya having visits with her Grandma Teresa and her Pappaw Wade. We worked at Dad's (Pappaw Wade's) for a bit hauling off stuff since the weather was nice. Got alot done today and it's shaping up!
We have been outside all day and Kaya is in heaven. The child has been in garden beds, found worms (nice and comfy in their bug box home..complete with dirt and grass), helped us dig out the drainage ditch, found the mud puddle from where Daddy washed off the rototiller, and basically had a ball all day. While at her Pappaw's she explored the pond (from a safe distance back lol) listening to the frogs,(she wants to go gigging this spring/summer but I'm not sure she'll be all for it once she realizes you EAT the frogs lol) watching the water for frogs/fish/tadpoles you name it. She went on adventures with her new watering can (it was her Nanny's and Dad let her have it..sorta bittersweet to watch her pretend watering flowers when Granny used that thing so much!!) Dad started to throw away an old corn slicer not knowing what it was so it's now going in my kitchen. I have one I use (fyi: a corn slicer is a simple slat of wood with a hole edging in it that contains 2 razor blades. Pull your corn across it in one direction you will have kernel corn to can/freeze/eat...pull it another way across it you will make cream corn) when we do corn in the summer but having an old one that was Granny's is nice. I probably won't use it but will put it up on my cabinet tops where I have my other valuable to me items :)
We tried out the new tiller and other than Kaya disliking the noise she gave it thumbs up on the dirt it made haha We gave it 2 thumbs up on being easy to use and a nice beast on our hard ground. Will definitely pay for itself in short order with gardens going in soon. So nice to not have to do it by hand etc and we chose a propelled one due to Steve's legs wearing out faster than they use to. We have several projects lined up for its use.
Loved seeing one curly headed girl with dirty hands, dirty clothes and lots of giggles head to the bath tub this evening. We even had a picnic outside!
A very wonderful Saturday in deed :)
