Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

 

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia.  How you doing this 15th week of 2023?  Everything turned vibrant green overnight after a good downpour of rain that we got.  Kevin arrived with the rest of our stuff.  My back has been tired & sore from putting away totes of canned food, moving shelves & changing the bedroom furniture around.  We also worked in the garden & planted a thing or 2.  Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you more, come walk with me...

Kevin brought in a few totes at a time to unpack.
We downsized our belongings & our house size.
Seems we need to do a little more downsizing of
our belongings to fit in the downsized house.

Baby Grand got his 1st 2 teeth.

 

Daughter's family gussied up for Easter
services at church & then an Easter egg
hunt & dinner with Son-in-Laws parents.

*  Our garden is a little different this year.  There were raised boxed beds already in place, so we'll use those to garden in.  Kevin added a row of boxes & strawberries were ordered.  While the weather was rainy, he burned the 2 brush piles of sticks & leaves that I had created. 

                  

53 onion plants were planted.  I scrounged around to see
 if I could come up with one more plant to make an even
 54, but the plant just was not there.  The bundle was
  probably a pack of 50 & perhaps the 3 were extras. 

There are thoughts & plans to plant peppers, cucumbers,
tomatoes, squash, carrots & maybe another thing or 2.

The grapes are putting out.

Rose decided she needed a 
drink while I was watering the
blackberries.

Kevin transplanted a bunch of
daffodils over by the creek.

The old apple tree has lots of blooms.

  

A few pears are starting
 to take shape.

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