Almost Finished

This Mother's Day I worked on the wagon.

After painting it some more in the morning, 

we were ready to begin assembling parts in the evening.

Assembling the pivot head

Attaching the wheels with the new hubcaps

Completed front wheel section

Attaching the front wheels to the wagon bed

Here is the nearly finished product.

I still have the side panels to put together,

but they need another coat or two of paint.

And once assembled, I have the task of redoing the lettering.

With a little luck, I'll have it all done this week

and be able to move on to planting the freshly tilled garden.

Big E even gave up going to get ice cream 

to get this done for me for Mother's Day.

State of the Resolutions Address

I think the Arctic temperatures have everything bound up.
Like icy constipation.
Frozen pipes.

I broke another chicken waterer this morning

and I'm tired of having to keep the chickens locked up.

They aren't too happy about that either.

The dark cold snowy night treks to the coop are getting old too.

This guy is staying (like there was ever a doubt he would).

Ended up naming him Jake.

So exactly what have I managed to do as far as resolutions?

I did get groceries for the office so I won't be needing to eat out this week during work.

And what I got is salad items and celery and hummus for snacking.

So I'm improving in those couple of things.

I have not exercised. 

I did pin a couple of exercise items to Pinterest

(I don't think that counts).

I downloaded a meditation app on my iPhone

that seems like a pretty good one actually.

I haven't used it yet.

I did get rid of 2 trash bags full of toys from my son's room.

And I donated some unneeded blankets

and some shirts.

So, it's obvious I need to kick it up a notch.

 But I'm guessing I'll be doing more procrastinating

by playing with this cutie and taking 50 million instagram photos of him.

Progress

The rows have been weeded

(and weeded, and weeded...)

the trellises are up

and there are blossoms on everything there should be blossoms on.

The garden is looking better than it ever has-

neat and orderly.

Hoping that the storms moving through today 

don't wreak havoc on my poor plants-

namely the squash and broccoli.
