Decorating Easter Eggs

Easter egg decorating was an adventure this year. No kitchen means you dye Easter eggs with your work boots on in the gutted out kitchen.

umm, a slight twinning effect going on.

They are so goofy.

2020 Easter means corny songs like,

"I'm dreaming of a white Easter..."

Rex decided to do the "last egg with all the colors" this year.

That's usually reserved for Darren, but we broke tradition.

It was a lovely shade of chocolate.

House and Greenhouse

Looks like spring is on its way here at our house.

The garden needs tilling and the chickens need relocating.

Blase started my tomato plants for the garden.

Here are baby greenhouse plants.

Some of the ready to harvest lettuce.

still growing...

The herb aisle with a variety of wonderful herbs.

Mint jungle

Basil jungle

The backyard has become a favorite hang out of the chickens. They must like to torment the dogs in the kennel.

The kitchen ceiling experienced a shave on Day Three of the remodel. Stephen was the barber with no shaving experience. He did well, but don't expect him to shave his beard anytime soon. It was a lot of work and he spend a good day recovering. He claims his shoulder still hurts. I think it is his way of getting out of another shaving job.

We have debated the plan for the ceiling. I think Darren decided to skim coat it. I wanted ceiling planks. I'm pretty sure we will do ceiling planks in the living room when that room gets updated.

Kitchen Remodel - Day 2

Day two of the kitchen remodel job was the most exciting for all the children. Everyone took a hammer to the wall. They asked if I wanted to tear down a part of the wall. I "helped" build the house, as much as a two year old can help build, back in 1980. I was content with watching my kids tear out what my dad put up. I played a small part in each instance and that is good enough.
