This month has flown by. Here's Bea and her friend Mabel coming out of school. The girls have less than two weeks of school left. They are ready to be done for a while but at the same time it all slips away so quickly.
We got to take a tour of the school building where Bea will start her sophomore year next fall. I'm a broken record but... It's so big!
I think it's exciting and intimidating for Bea.
The garden has come alive now that we've finally gotten some warm weather. I have been spending so much time just puttering around my garden.
I have been carefully hardening off my seedlings. I've messed this step up in the past so I'm being very cautious and giving them lots of time to adjust to the outside world.
We had the house painted last week and as soon as the workers were done I finished planting my pots, got out the yard furniture and arranged everything so we're all ready for summer.
Over the weekend Bea and I went to a ropes course in Wisconsin. We had a really good time - felt great to be out in the woods.
And we saw a cute (?) little snake and a baby snake too.
Even though I hate the feel of the scratchy plastic yarn on my hands... I'm making another macrame lawn chair. I found two old lawn chairs out for the trash so I had to have them. Come on over and sit in my backyard - I'll have lots of seating soon.
Bea has her drivers permit now and she's enjoying driving whenever she can. She drove us to Dairy Queen and it felt like summer.
Claire turned me on to Chia pudding breakfast cups. We mix the chia seeds with milk or yogurt drink or nut milk and then we let them sit overnight. We usually add some fruit and a little honey or maple syrup. Yum.
I started working on another window. I'm waiting for the putty on the white one to cure and then can I do a final coat of paint. The blue window is from our upstairs hallway - I just started scraping out the old putty and removing the glass today.
So, hello June and let the summer begin.
