Monday - Aaron got called into the hospital at 5:00 am it was a long day for him. We saw a brand new baby cow on the way to piano lessons. David started baseball practice.
Tuesday - there was a mix up with preschool but it all turned out OK. Timothy had scouts, and Aaron was on call again.
Wednesday - busier than I had planned. I was going to do pilates with some friends at the church, however Aaron needed to provide a lunch for a meeting he was in charge of, and didn't have a plan. So I volunteered to make something and bring it over. I never did get my exercise in that morning. I read on Facebook that a friend of mine had been pruning her fruit trees, and cleaning out the raspberries bushes. I had attempted to do the same earlier, but Melanie didn't like me leaning over with her in the wrap, and Max kept trying to lick her when we got low enough. So when the boys got home from school I gave the kids a snack, told David to watch Melanie and I did some pruning. I got the roses and the raspberries. I stopped at some point to put Melanie down for a nap. I was able to get all of the stems in the garbage can, and there was barely enough room for the garbage for the week. I think that counts as my exercise. That night there was scouts for Aaron and David.
Thursday - preschool for Amy. I read up on how to prune my fruit trees, and pruned the apple and cherry trees while holding Melanie. Although there are two really tall leader branches that I can't reach without a ladder, so that will have to wait. Any time I put Melanie down Max came running over, like it was an invitation to play with her. It was also Pi day so I made this pie
Friday - Amy and Aaron went to the dump. Melanie and I did some shopping in the city. Then I helped Aaron prepare for his campout, and I worked on stuff for the Relief Society dinner next week.
Otherwise I took pictures of Melanie on Tuesday
And pictures of Amy and I playing Candyland
Thursday was a beautiful day and I saw plenty signs of Spring
new raspberry shoots
buds on the cherry tree
The honeycrisp apple tree
The Braeburn Apple tree
Buds on the braeburn
The pasture grass is getting greener
The maple tree
Our hardy tulip
Then I saw that Max had torn up some of the landscaping fabric under the bark
He also thinks this is a great place to take a nap. I don't know if you can see where the branches are all smashed down.
our first crocus
Apparently we missed an onion last fall
flowers on the trellis
And today I took some more pictures
rhubarb trying to come up - in Max's shadow because he wouldn't get out of the way.
the crocus blooming
the lilacs are showing a little green
the peonies are starting to come up
The daffodils are getting bigger
the first of the narcissus bulbs Aaron planted last fall.
the buds on the flowering dogwood
Um, I think this one was on accident. But it shows Max, and the green spots in the lawn
