Memorial Day Weekend


I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend  We were crazy busy around here. We celebrated my BIL's 50th on Saturday. We went to a friend's BBQ on Sunday. On the actual holiday, we stayed home and did lots of yard work. We were all home as school was closed and none of us had to go to work. We don't seem to get many of those kinds of days anymore where we all get off all day.  Hubby grilled some burgers and I made everyone milkshakes.  


I had chocolate, the kids had coffee. I picked fresh strawberries from the garden for Hubby's.


He had dairy free strawberry and loved it. It was a great snack since it was hot out.


Youngest Daughter and I were determined to have a fire this weekend. So we scrubbed the patio, pulled out all of the furniture for it, washed them all and set it all up. We got it all done with help from my son and Hubby.


After a long weekend we got to relax by a fire and roast marshmallows. We of course made s'mores too. How did you celebrate MDW?

    We stayed home and worked around the house. Your strawberries from your garden are beautiful. And the fire looks so good and cozy to sit around.

      You can't beat fresh strawberries. We were so tired after all of the yard work. The fire was perfect.

First Garden Harvest 2020

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
