a shed is painted

I started the day taking a walk with my friend Petra. We decided my Mother’s Day gift was me painting our little shed. It happened! I love the color, a copy of our friend, Maggie and Hal’s house. Osten and I got some drive time, it was a chilly and beautiful sunny day. I also got all my flowers planted! Very exciting day.

Today our class went down to the Kinni to watch UWRF art students float their duct tape boats down the Kinni from the Maple Street bridge to the walking bridge. So fun!

Reading a good book, getting ready to paint our little shed and enjoying longer daylight hours.  

he’s 25

Our amazing Anders Cole is 25 today. To infinity plus one is how much we love him. 

cinco de Mayo

I didn’t have any celebratory foods of cinco de Mayo, but I did love watching Osten run the mile and 800 at Menomonie this afternoon. 

busy day

Many steps taken today and some home projects started. We’re repainting the back yard shed so Brad and I scraped old paint and Brad power washed. I pulled weeds and reset the rocks around the porch planting area. I planted the May Day flowers I received. I did laundry including getting summer sheets our bed. Lastly I went dancing with Julie and Trish. It was a fun and full day. 

may the 4th be with the Timberwolves

 

25!

Today isn’t his birthday, but Osten chauffeured us to Eau Claire to celebrate Anders’ 25th with Anders and Ally at Texas Roadhouse. 

Earlier in the day it was a busy day of going to church, planting garden beds, Brad putting primer on the little red shed, laundry 

why hello May

A lovely new month of May has arrived! My dear Teri made May Day baskets with the kids and my 3rd graders helped make pavlova. We celebrated Australia in our classroom today with fairy bread, Tim Tams, fruit salad and pavlova. Hiked to the RF vantage and saw some lovely Merry Bell flowers. Also, tulip bulbs my Dad gifted my Mom years ago are blooming. Love you Dad!
