Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia.  How you doing this 12th week of 2023?   The grass is getting more vibrant green with each passing day, this week was all about getting the yard ready to mow.  The blackberry bushes & grape vines Kevin ordered arrived.  I put the plants in the refrigerator where the temperature was 42 degrees to keep them dormant as suggested in the instructions.  Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you a little more about how the yard cleanup is going, come walk with me...

Nana Grandjoy Camp Run-A-Muk - Grands
helped rake leaves & pickup sticks, there is 2
brush piles going. Grands put together a can
organizer for the pantry & helped carry in a
band saw that was delivered.

Work in progress, stalks & sticks still need to be
picked up around these hostas.

We went into town for supper, there
were 4 minutes to do a little thrifting
before the shop closed.

Grands making labels for storage
baskets didn't turn out as
originally planned.

                                      

Rose enjoyed joining the Grands for a wiffle ball game or 2, this area looks
stick free & ready to mow when the time comes, I made sure the rocks
being used as bases were put back along the creek where they came from.

The neighbor came to say hello, we call
him Buckhorn for now.

These are some of the things that's been going on in my neck of the woods, how has your week been?

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia.  How you doing this 11th week of 2023? Sister & I stayed with the Grands while their parents went on an extended weekend getaway.  Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you about a few things that went on while I was at Daughter's house, come walk with me...

Me & Sister cooked chicken for a Family Sunday
Dinner. There was shake & bake bbq, ranch
dressing marinated & strips. Before night fall,
all the leftover chicken had disappeared along
with Moma's banana pudding.

There was a nice day for a walk but there
were no flowers to pick.

I made 2 pans of these breakfast rollups.

Grands putting things away, helping
 clean house for Sunday Dinner. 
"What is this in my shoe?"

Grands & Friend worked 2 days
building this fort, it was a little
too cold & rainy to have the
overnight campout they
had planned.

An apple seed was planted.

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia.  How you doing this 10th week of 2023?  I got my car unloaded & moved into our new homestead.  I did a little cleaning & organizing each day.  I splurged & ordered curtains for the bedroom from Black Forest Decor.  Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you about a couple of activities I did this week in between learning the routines at work & finding places to put stuff in the house, come walk with me...

This will be a cute little flower bed
when the sticks are picked up &
flowers are growing.

1st time bowler.

*  Sister & I took Grand bowling for a birthday outing.  Grand was surprised when her friend joined us to bowl.  One game of bowling was all the littles could endure.  There were snacks & arcade games too.  

*  I went to Nephew's baseball game. The field was located on my way home from work.  I left the game after several innings. I got a little miserably cold & there were several drops of rain, so I gave it up.  In the end, Nephew's team lost by 1 point.  The score was 12 to 11.  

1st game of the season.

I'm the surprise in disguise
wearing my new thrift store
hat.  Also, I was surprised
with a Welcome Back
dinner party.

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from North Carolina.  How you doing this 9th week of 2023?  I had extra cups of coffee with Moma in the mornings, Sister made some delicious southern style sweet tea for the afternoons.  I worked in Moma's yard with Sister & the 3 of us had a girl's day out thrifting.  I emailed, completed online applications & made phone calls to get the utilities, insurance & such changed into Kevin & my names in preparation for move in day at our new homestead.  I was involved in several surprises & started my new job.  Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you what the surprises were, come walk with me...

SURPRISE!  Nana is here! (No, it's not a "We're having
another baby" announcement.)  The Grands didn't know
Nana & Pa were moving.  It was hard keeping it a secret. 

Grand, Sister, Nephew, Me
SURPRISE!  Happy 18th birthday to Great Nephew Conner. There was pizza,
bowling & arcade games.  Conner knew he was going bowling for his
birthday, but he didn't know there was going to be lots of other family,
friends & several of his teachers to help him celebrate.  His Moma
commented, "Hands down Conner’s best party!
You only turn 18 once 💙💣⭐️"

SURPRISE! Look what I found
way in the back in the refrigerator.
Cheesecake.  Moma said I
could have it.  (Hehe)

SURPRISE!  I discovered grape hyacinth 
in bloom.  I noticed them while taking
Rose on a walk around in the yard.
Moma said she had seen them earlier 
in the day.
