Whats up?

Back on the Ranch...

There's a fun book that has that line or some other with a line like that. It has stuck with me and so now, when I am sharing a few of the things happening on Lakeside Farms-it returns to me.

One of my latest crushes (google search loves while I have nothing better to do) is re-purposing. I learn fun new things (new to me) to do with my old and regular things. This resourcefulness is more than just being thrifty- I like to think that it has been passed down to me through the generations. Talk to someone about the gardening projects at Lakeside.
Very clever, I think. This irrigation system is made from some of the old tutkey parts.

Camilla loved her big sandbox! Soon it will be full of green and growing things. Drip systems and sprinklers- you can call it experiential education. I can't wait to eat some of the labors. What do you think Grampa is doing with a fireworks stand? Fun stuff!

"She's Mrs. Carpenter now"

I am so luck to get to stop in at Mom and Dad's for lunch every now and then and today we enjoyed yummy turkey mushroom sandwich melts (mine heavily vinegared)yummy! While we licked our chops and wiped the juice that ran down our elbows Dad said, "She's Mrs. Carpenter now." Mom and I turned to him and I must have looked like I needed an explanation, "Ivy" he further explained. Of course I knew to whom he referred. I'm sure many things were on his mind but it made me decide to make it known to the share show and tell blogging world. I LOVE MY LITTLEST SISTER! I think she is cute and curlers......and made a beautiful bride! I continue to keep her in my prayers and wish the very best of all happiness to her and all the exciting, mudane, important and meaningless parts of marriage!

New Arrival!

I thought maybe introductions would be nice. As far as I know she doesn't have a name- maybe you have some ideas.
