Feelin ornery...




This is a test.

I have been very busy
and have lots of pictures 
to share with you.

Lots of stories
to be told.

But for some reason
I have been unable to post
pictures
on this blog.
Until today.

Sweet Heather
wrote to tell me 
what I need to do.
I now need to
use Picasa
to upload my pictures.
Why, I ask you.
It was so simple before.
Now there are more hoops to jump through.

I was seriously thinking
about 
quitting.
Blogging that is.
But 
must
admit
that 
I need
to see this thing
through to the end.
This thing called
house
building.

So dear friends
and dear family,
here are a few 
pictures
that I stumbled upon
while trying to learn 
how to maneuver through yet
another hoop
called Picasa...


ok, just kidding..
I'm doing something wrong..
let's try this again...



I know just how you feel
dear girl...

Where is my  passie?????

I am going to go beat my head on a rock
and maybe 
things will become clear to me
in a little while...

In the meantime,
it is spring.

The sun is shining,
and it warm.


Here is some of the spring loveliness going on.


Our one lone flowering tree.
Yesterday on the way to the dump
with a load of sheetrock scraps
there were miles and miles
of blooming redbuds and wild cherries

just growing wild...
willy nilly.
I was purple with envy
and wanted to just 
snatch one right out of the ground
to plant in my yard...

Someday very soon
I will have lots and lots
of redbuds.
Jim says we dont have any
because the cattle who roamed these parts
would either eat
or trample them down.
Darn cattle!


The best news of all is

WE HAVE SHEETROCK!!!

Here is where the magic begins...
This crane unloads the sheetrock right up to the door.
Cool, huh?




In the past few days
a lot of hammering
and screwing
has been going on...

Heavens to Mergatroid!

We have walls!
And
I have just taught myself
how to blog my pictures again!



Stay tuned for more
exciting 
news!
And a plethora of
pictures.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." Ralph Waldo Emerson
