Keeping Busy

Kory participated in the Great Poem Project at CSI Ezra built a wooden box with scrap wood- all by himself! Zac participated in State Night at his school. He chose Washington, since he loves the Seahawks! Sara chillin' with her good friend Jesse, outside our woodshed. Sara and Ezra participated in an Art Day put on by our high school. Loving on Luke. Best friends! Sara on the BMX track we are building on our property. Zac's turn!

Hanna is really into music these days.  In the Filer High School Spring Concert, she... ...sang in the choir... ...played drums in the jazz band... ...played piano in the jazz band... ...and accompanied the choir. Hanna has a beautiful talent, and we always love when she shares it!

When we bought this house 17 months ago, we knew this tree would have to go .  We're not tree haters, but this monstrosity , which was at least a quarter dead,  had huge limbs hanging over both the house and power lines .  With the high winds we get here, it was only a matter of time.  We decided to take care of it! One down- this is easy! Yum! Is this what pioneers ate? D-oh!  Just in case... Almost there! Ta-dah! Now we're left with tons of clean-up work,  but we're grateful the dangerous part is over and no one was injured! Bonus: once it dries, this firewood should keep us going for a couple of years ! Side note: Kory is extremely  impressed with his inexpensive Poulon chainsaw.  Worked amazing!
