Grow, Build, Swim.

We just arrived home after a 2 week vacation.  We had a great time visiting family, zip lining, swimming and riding the Dell's ducks.  It was so nice to come back to our RV home,  we were surprised how much we missed the little place.

The garden produced an enormous amount while I was gone.  I picked everything and donated 79 pounds of food to interfaith relief.  They were SO happy to get the fresh veggies.

Everything is growing so fast and I was pleased that it was not completely taken over with weeds.  I did find a huge success ..... 3 artichoke blooms!!!  Last year they grew all season and I was hesitant to try again, but I think the new watering system has really paid off.

We came home to find the footers, walls and plumbing roughed in for the barn.  The trusses also showed up while we were gone. The slab should be poured early next week and the framing will begin shortly after that.

After spending so much time in other people's lovely spacious homes, parent guilt kicked in and we bought one of those above ground pools.  I just can't wait to get in ... heeeheee
