Memorial Weekend!

The weekend did not go as planned but it was still a great one!

The chickens were granted one more week to live. Pappy said that they weren't big enough to butcher. So we are fattening them up for 1 more week! We absolutely HAVE to do them this Saturday because the next several weekends are busy!!!

So on Saturday I went to town and bought 2 bags of "fast grow" chicken feed to give them all week this week. I also got paint to paint the pump house and the shutters. It is called New England Red. I was hoping to do the painting yesterday but...well, I'll get there. Saturday afternoon I went to a bridal shower. I had never met the bride but I am going to the wedding with Cherish and I have met the groom. It was a nice time. They had a chocolate fountain and can I just say YUMMY!!!!!

Sunday Jace and Jen spent the afternoon here because we were all going to a Memorial Day party in the evening! Jen had to work (she used our computer). I had big plans to get the shutters off the house and work in the garden but it was rainy so I tilled as fast as I could before the storm hit. And then came inside. Of course, the storm never hit. The party was a good time. We ate and visited and then Buffy and Marcus projected a movie onto one of their outbuildings. Talk about a good time. It was like our own little "drive" in theatre. We watched "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and it is a cute movie.

Yesterday I was hoping to paint outside...but it was rainy AGAIN!!! (and still is). This is the wierdest weather ever I think. We did get a lot of other stuff done though.

I was again hoping to paint today...but again...it isn't gonna happen. It is warm and windy with 100% humidity. Oh YUCK!!! We've played outside a bit and I am ready for rest time.
