Barn Raising Take 2

The insurance adjuster was out the Monday after the framing blew down and about a week and a half after that the new lumber arrived. They got going on the barn again and when the weather man called for some windy weather again, DH brought over his dad's CAT tractor and they tied the west end it as seen in the first two pics below.


This is the week before Memorial Day and they are almost finished.



And here is what it looks like this morning, now that it is finished. Last night we received some strong storms and 3/4 of an inch of rain. Now onto the next project, a clothesline.

It's June 1st!

This year is flying by. Lots going on around here and the computer is off more than it is on. As long as I have the computer turned off, I'm not tempted to sit and check out websites online. A lot has gone on since the last post so I will be posting in installments since blogger only allows you to upload 5 photos to each post.

Late April we had a builder come and build us a new machine shed. The first two photos show the start of the project. They had 3/4's of the framing done when we had a wind storm the afternoon May 1st.







The last photo shows what 50+ mph winds did to the framing. The builder is licensed and insured and it was a total loss. It was a couple weeks when the new building materials arrived and construction began again. Photos of the finished barn will be tomorrow.

We're Alive........

and doing well. Busy doesn't even begin to describe this month and next month. Whether it is Spring Musicals, Spring Field trips, Softball, T-Ball, Bible School, Honors Academy, it is just nuts, LOL! And when Spring planting finally gets underway, it will be NUTS! Hardly anyone has corn planted and pretty soon it will be time to plant beans. I wish some of this rain would go south for a week or two (where they really need it) so we can get going the just send it back to us in June, July, August and early September. Abbie did well in her first T-Ball game. It was pretty comical watching them chase after the ball, or in some cases, the boys tackling each other to get the ball, LOL! Ashton's scrimmage went well and she got on base every time she was up to bat. Once she smacked the ball way out into center field. She made it to second base and scored 2 runs on that hit. We were lucky with all the rain lately, yesterday was a beautiful day to be at the ball diamond. Later Gators! :)

P.S. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
