weather man wrong






well they called for rain today..nothing but rain. They were wrong nice and sunny. The kinda of day where you fall asleep on the sand..while your kids are playing in the driftwood and eating rocks and your wife is painting the cabin floor. All in all a good day. We stood the rock up..it looks good..didn't fall apart anyways. See when we screw it to the wall tomorrow. All so managed to get the great big front window put in. A good test of strength (our muscles,our marriage and our scaffolding) Got some railing built on the stairs..trying to figure out what to do for a gate at the top. Ben gave me some hinges so I can make a little gate tomorrow. Jana finished painting the floor. I scrounged a bunch of windows that should finish the dormer..so hopefully tomorrow we can get it closed up. It is going to be nice to have the big open loft for the kids to play in while we work downstairs. We are getting very excited for the hols and wimbushes visits. Mostly because they are bringing groceries....cupboards are getting kind of bear. It is kind of weird..rationing things. Jana is forever looking for recipes without eggs. Liam has quit asking for apples..now he asks for applesauce..today we got excited to find a piece of pepper hidden in leftover salad (sydney loves peppers). I kinda of like it..because we have lots of beef...mmm so no problem there. Except I miss milk...when you get down to your last litre..It gets saved for the kids. oh well lots of water here. Jana is busy mowing the lawn so Oona River will be all spiffed up for the may long weekend. Did see some very blooming pretty rhododendron today..and wild roses are coming. Amazing what one hot day does.

  1. wow- looking good- the cabin and window, kids and cute lawn girl!.
    J- do you want me to bring the recipe for 'flax eggs'? You wizz up flax seeds and water and it turns into vegan egg whites- sounds kinda weird but it really works in baking and such.... just a thought for when the eggs run out....
    Can't wait to see you all- I should be packing but I just came in from planting 17 broccoli and pulling lots of dandelions .
