Purchased and spread some more gravel:
Hung a couple of bird houses that our neighbor Kenny Monday made:
Started getting the garden ready:
Had a nice visit from Austin (we rebuilt the fire-pit):
Rigged up a new burn barrel for Jill's favorite chore :)
And a lot of normal springtime activities that didn't rate pictures, such as re-stacking the woodpile and moving the portable solar system from the pump-house to the man shed.
We have had some serious wind in April which caused me to take pretty extreme measures to keep the side panels from blowing off the chicken coop (the magnets just weren't cutting it)
While the weather has been nice, we suffered the loss of both Zeke and Zuno within a month of each other. It has been over 20 years since I have gone without a dog of some sort living with me, and it was both sad and weird not having one around. We decided to roll the dice and adopt an unknown quantity from the animal shelter in Grants.
When we walked into the first cell block, one little dog really sold herself. Throwing caution to the wind, we brought home a little mongrel named Matty. She is very sweet, but very high energy. I am glad we got her at this point in our lives while we are still reasonably fit :)
