I’m gradually, gradually, gradually making headway in my yard. As for my house–well, it’s clean and picked-up, that about it. The other house–my time waster— is starting to get there. I have the bedroom just about finished painting-I should finish tomorrow. The lawn is mowed and raked down there and all the bushes raked and pruned ready for spring.
The new renters move in on Sunday. (Ask me if I’m excited or what!) The man and woman came over yesterday to make arrangements to move in on Sunday. I can SEE THE LIGHT!
Today Terry starts planting corn. I will plant sweet corn at some point down one side of one of the fields. I had one row last year, but that was a huge field. This year some of the corn will be in front of the house, which is only 5 acres. I think I will plant two rows of sweet corn, next to the side which is next to canal—I’m looking for ease of picking.
I am so excited about the renters finally getting here, you just don’t understand how excited. The work load, of just maintaining that place, and this place, plus every day living has been over-whelming. Soon! Very Soon! I can move from maintaining into ‘getting-my-stuff-that-has-been-hanging-over-my-head’ DONE! ♬♬♬ YAY!
Joy, Joy, Joy
Your Friend,

It sounds as if there is light at the end of the tunnel, as well as in the beautiful sky. I don’t blame you for looking for ease of picking when it comes to sweet corn. Yummy!

The other side of the field would require me to roll the wheel barrel out there. Big job.

Congratulations. Empty houses are just too tempting to critters, etc. And what TexWisGirl said too.

I think once they’ve moved in you should give yourself a couple of days off everything non-essential; just time to smell the roses and enjoy the spring… But knowing you, you’ll probably be washing windows first thing…

Maybe, more than likely start planting. 🙂

Whatever you do, make it something you want to do rather than something you feel you have to do. You deserve it…

Yay! Am excited for you, too. Your pictures are gorgeous, Linda! The farmers are not planting here, yet. Need a soil temp of 60 degrees for cotton. My one farmer is growing corn again on my home place. I love to watch it grow!
Am heading out on my trip to see my Mother tomorrow morning early. Is a 2 day trip for me. The kids are staying on the farm while I’m gone. Will give them a taste of the farm life B4 they move out here.
Take care….Blessings!
