Party projects.

We had Luke’s birthday party yesterday. 20 plus kids, but it went pretty well. We spent a lot of time preparing and it all went really well. This week I built a couple of things for the party – a mobile sand box and a table and bench set. The latter was finished about 20 minutes before the party started.

Trail cam.

Luke got a trail cam as a belated Christmas present, and we have set it up at the edge of the back field. So far we have seen rabbits, armadillos, squirrels, birds, possums, and a deer. Oh, and also a fox and a bobcat. The pictures haven’t been great, but here are a few.

Rolling through February.

The weather has been pretty mild. Maybe we got most of winter out of the way in January. Luke is finishing up his five day mid-winter break today. Below are a few photos because I am too lazy to type more.

More free books from the library.
New laptop. No, I will not be playing video games on it.
New bed in the cottage.

Growing the library.

I received word that the Columbia library was giving away free books, so yesterday morning after dropping Luke off at school I went there. They had a ton, but the selection was a little iffy. Lots of recent popular novels and not much classic literature or good non-fiction. I still managed to get a few things and will probably go back for more. Luke and I have already read four of his new books.
