Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

 

Weekend Coffee Share


Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing? A local in our home county is one of the top 5 to become the next American Idol, Braden Rumfelt. Vote for Braden! Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you about going to a frog race, some of our current favorite kinds of ice cream & some other April things, then I'm heading out to a baseball game & going on a trial ride this weekend.










Work continues on the enclosed trailer camper transformation. The cabinets & floor are done. We still need a sink, bed & to finish the bathroom.






The library had a frog extravaganza celebrating National Frog Month with books, games & crafts & I wanted to go check it out. I lured 2 of the Grandgirls to come along with me. We listened to books read aloud about frogs that were fun, silly & educational. We made origami frogs & raced them. My frog was cute but didn't win any of it's races. Grands chose to eat out at Taco Bell for supper then we went for ice cream.


These are our current favorites,
what's your favorite ice cream?





April was Kevin & Daughter's birthday.

Happy Birthday to Daughter,
Kasey with basset hound Max.




We had a good day fishing on the lake. We ate some of the fish, the others went in the freezer. 

I caught one of the fish.



There was dance pictures & a tball pizza party with trophies.




Homeschool themes were Easter, Spring, Camping & Bugs. We had a day camp at the lake doing some fishing & hiking. We picked up trash & made bird feeders for Earth Day. Sister & Granny grilled hotdogs. There was a bird's nest in one of the grills.



 

















We ended the month hosting a farm day with baby chicks, kittens & strawberry picking.  Neighbor came over with one of their horses. There were sand farm playsets, water tables, balls & frisbees. Green beans put up from out of the garden were included in lunch.



These are a few of the things that went on in our neck of the woods this month, how has your month been? Go out & have a wonderful weekend.
