The Five of Us, Spring 2014

Getting There

We were blessed with lovely weather this weekend and were able to get a lot more done on the play structure. We even had lunch at the built-in picnic table Saturday. But, there's still a lot to do!

We also bought 4 trees this weekend--a snow goose cherry, an okame cherry, an elm, and a river birch. Hopefully, they'll be installed this week.

Talk To Me

I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
