March- April 18, 2017 Its Springtime

We came home from Ratcliff lake on March 8. Since then we have been home for awhile. Everything has greened up and we have had plenty of rain. I have been planting a garden for the first time in 5 years.  The rain has hampered me some but I bet by July we will be starving for rain. We have stayed busy with volleyball tournaments on the weekends. Susan has done a quilting retreat in Celeste, Tx and several day things. I managed to get all the pasture mowed between rains.  John,Jen and the twins came over one day and John cooked shrimp and fish. The kids played all day. Holly brought her dirt bike and had fun riding it. We have been keeping their dog Sissy while they wait for their new house to be built. For Easter weekend we went to the lake with Mike/Kristi. The weather was perfect and the kids had a good time. We came home on Sunday. Life has been a slow pace for now. I'm sitting here today watching it rain again.  We plan on doing a short camping trip net week.
