Spring 2008

The pictures tell it all! We love Spring. And this one has been a beauty. In Winter we were plastering up after knocking down a wall. Now, we're outside expanding our veggie patches in all directions. We've even put in raspberries, which along with the chickens have been a childhood dream for both of us. Blackmans Bay is great for all that, but the gutters fill up with leaf litter pretty quickly. It's handy having fathers who love to pitch in. Cath's father has been the one up the ladders inside with the putty. My father's been the one climbing trees outside with his chainsaw. I can do some things. I make the coffee and clean up afterwards! Cath is very gracious. She helps keep the kids out of the way when either Grandad has his head down and is going at it like a bull at a gate.
