The best birthday present ever!

I'm usually a pretty low-maintenance kind of girl.  I don't ask for much.  But for my birthday this year I asked my husband for something big and labor intensive.  I asked him to cut me some wood logs.  Yes, you read it right!  I asked him to cut me some logs so I can build something with it.  Well, and after we cut the logs we went out and got crawfish as a family for dinner, and went home and had cake and ice cream after.  I can't ask for a better birthday!  I don't know how this log project will turn out but I'm excited to see the final product and see if it works.  I will show you what I'm building later when I'm done with it.  So stay tuned.

 

He cut me a big load of logs.  I'm a happy girl!

Our next project?

We just received this catalog in the mail yesterday.

I didn't get a chance to look at it yesterday but I had some time this morning to look through it.  Let me tell ya, I have never ever in my life been so sucked into a catalog, let alone a seeds and plants catalog.  But I spent quite a bit of time this morning looking through the WHOLE thing!  It was so fun looking through it, circling all the plants and seeds I want to buy later when we have our garden and dreaming about the day when we have a garden full of our favorite fruits and vegetables, and the day when we could harvest all of our hard work and the sweet juicy apples, and tomatoes and whatever else from our very own garden!  Of course we will start out small and just experiment a little first before we go all out.  But one can always dream, right?!  I'm hoping we can start a garden this year but we shall see, it's not like we don't already have enough projects already.

Talking about projects this morning we went out to tear down the very old chicken coop that is on the property.  We also cleaned up that chicken coop area so we can build a new one and hopefully we could get some chickens soon....I can't wait to get our own chickens and get fresh chicken eggs every morning!
