Busy days!

The winter is almost over and I wonder how a season can go by so swiftly!  It has been a very busy time.  Seeds were ordered and received, lessons were taught and learned, decisions had to be made, sewing/sewing/sewing, house cleaning, and keeping track of the two youngest children.  Four of us suffered from the flu but are recovered. 

For those who wonder, not one thing has been done on the house for months.  It's been too cold and wet.  Two weeks ago hubby planted about 60 Granny Smiths and Jonagold trees and 18 peach trees on our land, trees that are community owned.  It's a relief to know that we won't have to deal with so many apples by ourselves.

We're ready to move the few pear, apricot, apple and almond trees that were planted here a few years ago but first the 15 passenger van has to be repaired.  While picking up two wringer washers yesterday, something started making a loud noise.  Hubby will tell you that I'm not mechanically inclined so I can't even say what the problem is.  Another setback.  Hopefully it will be repaired soon.

It's a small update but I felt guilty not writing for so long.  I go through periods of being very busy on the computer and not caring at all for the sewing machine, and then I can't stand the computer and am found daily sewing.  Guess what period I've been in all winter?

I know what you mean about sewing then on computer. We are blessed to have options. How boring it would be if we didn't. May all your desires come foth as we patiently wait Father makes the way. lovingly, rilda

I have those same times of enjoying the computer too much and then the sewing too much. I wish I could balance my life out so that I could do a little of every thing every day.
I love to read you post, you are very interesting to me.So I will lood forward to these few post:)

We are going to plant about 100 fruit trees this spring. I want Granny smith trees. I have never seen them grown much in our state though.

We are going to buy our seeds early this year. As soon as they come into the hardware store, they sell out quickly.
I hope you all get the van get repaired soon and it won't be too costly.
