We got our pigs two weeks ago. Yes, their names are Wilbur and Ray for the 3rd year in row. Funny how it is not even a question of what their names are going to be, it is just a given. In case you are wondering, Ray is the one red one and Wilbur is… Read more »

Last weekend the kiddos and I spent the day digging out flower beds along the front of the house. I thought May Day would be the perfect day to finally buy some flowers and start planting. Looking at all the rows of beautiful flowers was so much fun and added so much cheer to our… Read more »
