We are taking care of 2 Corgi dogs, Kona and Nala, a puppy.  They are clients of Sue’s who are on vacation.  They stay with us through Monday next week.  Romeo and Nala are in heaven, playing constantly.

First weekend with great weather, but very windy. We weed-whacked with a new 4-stroke machine that performed great (gift from my Dad…thanks, Dad) and mowed the south meadow. Here is some quick video of Sue doing the mowing.

We’ll finish the additional meadows around the house next weekend.

We also planted 10 Colorado Spruce Trees that we got in the mail earlier in the week…see photos. We will use the chicken coop as the nursery, since its a nice enclosure from the deer and other critters running around that can destroy plants. Unfortunately, we have not had time yet to fix the roof…see photos. We were planning on having contractors do that earlier this year when we did the guest room remodel, but since that went over-budget, we scrapped this activity. We plan to fix it later this year by putting in new 2 by 8′s (which I already have).

The dumpster is also full…finished loading it full of junk; see photos. That is dumpster number 12 since we moved in a year ago, and many more to go.

As you can see from one of the photos in the album, the grass we planted in the front is coming along nicely.

Also, a photo of the damage the wind has recently done to the upper barn room. I will work on that next weekend.

I like doses of Willie Nelson from time to time.  Listening now while I crunch through some spreadsheets in the office.  I stream it from Pandora through my phone into my bluetooth headset.

Only major activity planned for the weekend is weed-whacking and mowing.  I think I have about 6 acres to cover.
