Spring DIY Patio Update for under $100
This post is sponsored by Theisen’s. I would never recommend a company I don’t believe in. It’s April 15. Our spring has never arrived and I’m not feeling optimistic it’s coming any time soon. Even to the point of considering spring cleaning, (or possibly just changing all the sheets), I’ll do anything to get out Finish reading this post…

Dada made a sandbox.He plans to make a digger like these too.See that tiny reddish blob right in the middle? That’s Denton–He crawled all the way from me, to the sandbox. It has quite the appeal.Of course, it means I have to give baths more frequently now 🙂 and comb sand out of hair quite Finish reading this post…
Square Foot Gardening (SFG)

Outdoor fun
Spring around here means Mud. Tractors come out for spring tilling, disking, plowing and planting. Rain. Raincoats and snowpants (‘cuz of the Chilliness factor). And did I mention Mud?
All in a Day’s Work
We had a baby bull calf born this morning. Out in the snow, but in the sunshine. Kevin got him into the calf incubator, and came up to the house to let us know we could help feed him if we wanted. We got everyone bundled up and headed down to the barn. Bundled up Finish reading this post…
Spring in Farm Fresh Iowa
I would take a picture of the new baby calves under the barn, but the farmer doesn’t want them disturbed while their “dumb heifer” mamas are learning how to mother. In lieu of that I bring you pictures of water. I know. It’s exciting. I stood in the deluge of rain in 43º temperatures with Finish reading this post…
