What a Spring!

And here is May, already!  We've had some hints of warm weather, but it's hard to believe that summer is just around the corner.  The kids are winding down the school year, gardening is getting started, and our schedule for the summer seems to be filling up!

Our girls are getting ready to end the school year.  It's been a challenge keeping up with them - our organization has slipped and we seem to be a bit more frantic now.  But we'll make one more effort in order to reach the end!

Gardening is finally getting started.  I planted some cool-weather crops several weeks ago, but everything seems to be very slow getting going.  I will be calling a person to 'till up part of my backyard to add to our garden space.  Also, we'll be putting in some garden at a property about a block away - I think that will be where the pumpkins and watermelon will go.

And our summer schedule is filling.  We have Girl Scout camp, vacation Bible school, BWCA trip for me (hopefully), family vacation, Fit Families demonstration, Root River Power Association, Ag Days, Garden Club flower bed maintenance, in addition to our personal garden and home maintenance.  And we need to go fishing.

So, there seems to be a lot going on now.  All this while I am recovering from a bout of pneumonia.  It was only a mild case, but I still DON'T recommend this to anyone!  So, don't do it!
