Our weekend!

Our Saturday was quite busy. Lots of yardwork that needing attending. We've had alot of rain lately so our grass was about to over take the house. Dear hubby and the boys worked at tilling the garden plot to get ready for our planting season. I worked on our strawberry patch with our daughter and her boyfriend.

In the 5 years we lived here this is the second time the strawberries have been moved. Hopefully they will do well here.

Our crab-apple tree is BEAUTIFUL this year. I love the pink flowers and watching the humming birds.

We even did some planning for the upcoming weekend. Hopefully all goes well with these plans.

By the end of the day we did what we always love to do and that is having family over to sit around the bon fire and visit. Kids playing hide and seek in the dark (quite funny watching them come out of no where).

On Sunday, dear hubby worked on a vehicle, kids took advantage of the dreary day and slept in and I was off to church.

How was your weekend? Was it busy or laid back?

What to write about?

I've been giving this blog thing some thought. I'm still trying to decide what I want to post about. Yesterday, while working in the yard, I had plenty of ideas on what to write about but where do I start?

I guess I've decided to start with my life here in NNY, (probably a good thing considering that the title to this blog...) I moved up here 20 years ago with my parents. My dad was stationed at the local military base. I met my husband in high school. We married 2 months after graduation and so our life began.

After 3 kids and almost 19 years of marriage, we have our own little piece of heaven outside of the town my hubby grew up in, in a county with more cows than people. We don't own much property but our 2 1/2 acres is plenty for what we want.

I love our home. It's over 100 years old and at one time use to be a working dairy farm. (go figure) We bought it 5 years ago from a wonderful family who owned the home since it was built. I tell dear hubby all the time we didn't buy a home we inherited a family. They still stop by from time to time to see what improvements we have done to the old homestead. Granted we haven't completely renovated the whole house just a couple of room: ie~the bathroom, kitchen and the boys rooms (even tho no room is 100% complete yet)
