Finally!!!

Finally! It has been a long time but I am back at it again. So much has gone on the last couple of years to allow me to find the excuse to not blog. In November of 2010 we lost our dear mother, Maxine Lambson. While we knew it was coming, it still took the wind out of our sails. Heaven truly took back one of its dear angels. We miss her so...

Our garden was a major FAIL last year, at least as far as the corn went. It seems that we are now racoons 2, Lambsons 0. This year it is on like Donkey Kong! You little rascals WILL NOT WIN!!! I will not invest all that time again and NOT get to taste the fruits of my labor again! How frustrating that we baby the corn all season long and the little rascals wait until the perfect moment and slip in like thieves in the night and wipe out all of the corn. It is not going to happen again!

Two years ago we planted 8 strawberry plants and this year we have had a bumper crop. I cannot stay on top of them. So far I have picked over 4 gallons of strawberries and there is no sign of the production letting up. I never thought I'd be sick of strawberries but you know picking one and eating 10 will make you that way. lol

Our remodel on the house is slowly coming along as well. Some days it is so overwhelming that it just makes one just not even want to do a thing. Baby steps one at a time is what we have to remind ourselves and it will happen. We have completed the wrap around porch and the lights. That is pretty darn exciting! The electrical work is such a chore for Curtis and I am so proud of him for sticking it out. When you don't do it very often it can be kind of confusing and my dear husband does like to over analyze things. :o) He did it though and the work fabulously!!!

Pictures of all will be posted soon...
