First of many permits...

After a bunch of GIANT hurdles, St. Charles County granted our permit to build the first barn and the retaining wall! Now if it will stop raining so we can begin work...
Hopefully they will not be such a PITA about permitting the house construction. :)

In the trenches!

Dug 40 feet of trenches this evening and planted 20 asparagus crowns (plants). They won't make asparagus this year, but they are 2 year old crowns and should be ready for asparagus in the spring. Yummy!

Blossoms and Buds!

The peach trees have blossoms and little wildflowers are starting to show in the woods. The raspberry, blackberry and blueberry plants have buds, so I am crossing my fingers and hoping they make it...

Packing up!

We got an offer we accepted on our house yesterday so we have a CONTRACT! Excited and nervous all at the same time, but I dont think that the thought has really settled in yet. Closing is 6 weeks away but the countdown has already begun and it will be here before we know it!

Berries, Peaches and Dogwoods, Oh My!

Had a busy day at the pop-tee today, planted two peach trees, half a dozen dogwoods, some lilac bushes, and raspberries, blueberries and blackberry bushes! Kiddos came out this evening with Jason to help me water in all that was planted. Wendy too!
