Trailer Progress







Hubby and I have been getting little things done on my trailer. Everything is in working order and lubed and tightened down. I had him take out the bunk bed as I won't be crawling up there and we put a shelf across where I can place baskets of necessary items. I've finished all the interior paint and am in the process of making curtains all around. Will have the cushions reupholstered as foam has gotten ridiculously expensive.



Went yard sales today and found some things I can use in the trailer. Won't be much longer where I can take it out on the road. Just need a few more girlie touches, don't you think?

Busy in Gardens


Planted a lot more plants in the co op garden today. I can't believe how everything is already coming up in just one week. This guy's got some awesome soil. I definetely need to keep working on amending mine. My things are puny and they have been in the ground going on three weeks!


We had a nice Memorial weekend on the lake all day. Only caught one little fish but it was real nice to be out on the water. My little boat did real good after sitting all winter. I've been really busy on the glamper. Putting in new cushions, painting and replacing some worn out pieces. It's coming along pretty well.


Now it's back to weeding my own garden and keeping things watered so they can continue to grow.

Met Rogue River Farmgirls

Cheryl, Faith and myself went to Gold Hill on Sunday to have lunch, walk around an antique fair, and meet the RR farmgirls. We really had a great time talking and getting to know each others. They are planning to have a float in the Rooster Parade at the end of June which they would like us to join them. I think we will have a lot of fun. Very nice gals who have very busy lives. Of course we had to stop at a few yard and estate sales on our way and we each brought home more goodies. It was a wonderful day, warm, high 90's and Cheryl had her convertable so we all got to let our wild side out for a little while.

Trailer Pics


This is how it looked when I brought it home. Have taken all the seat covers out and the curtains out. Just been busy cleaning everything and have started painting the inside of the closet and the inside of the cubboards. Will post more pics as I finish a bit more inside.

Chicks Co-op Garden


Cheryl and I finally got to plant in our loaned garden. Let me tell you their soil is wonderful. I have'nt had my hands in that good of dirt in many years. We did spend a couple hours putting in onions, corn, bush beans, beets, lettuce, chard and radish. I would say that we had a pretty productive day. We will plant more in couple of weeks as there is still chance of frost until June.

I've Done It!


I bought a 1965 Aristocrat LoLiner. It is gonna need a lot of cleaning and minor repair but nothing that hopefully I can't handle. It can sleep 3-4 people so my friends will be able to go with me. I have been so looking for one since seeing them in MJ's magazine and thinking how fun it would be to fix one up all pink and shabby chic where no men are allowed. :) A summer project it will be, but none the less a fun one. I've even been collecting goodies to put into it for sometime now. Nothing like planning ahead. Only now my husband will be asking "where did you get that?". And that's where I'll reply with, "oh honey I've had this for a long time." Well off to start the cleaning.

Chicks are moved in

Been awhile since I've been here. Finally got the chickens moved in and today is the first day my new baby chicks went out in the yard with the older girls. O'Henry, my rooster, is sure lovin' the newbies. He makes a noise cooing them to him and struts and fluffs up real pretty. Today it got a little warmer where I finally got 5 eggs. Out of 8 hens laying, not too bad. Tomorrow I may have to mow as since it has rained so much the last few days the grass is pretty tall. My garden is full of weeds so that will need to get done, then there's the gate I still need to build to finish off the last of the fencing down below. Guess as the weather gets nicer, I will be quite busy.
