Well, let's see.  We had a cold front move in along with some rainy weather.  Last Friday May 3rd), we even got some snow.  They were big flakes and really coming down, but it melted pretty much as soon as it hit anything.  I believe that's the latest we've ever had snow here.  We did get our shopping done Friday, though.  We picked up some mulch for the trees and blackberry starts, plus some potting soil to mix in with the raised beds.

We had a fairly quiet weekend, although he still worked on a lot of stuff.  He moved the rest of the dirt into the raised vegetable beds, unloaded feed, and we ended up moving all the flowering baskets inside due to the frost warning.  We were worried about the hummingbirds but looked it up.  Apparently, they're more hardy than we thought.  They must be, as we left the feeders out; and he counted 14 of them on the porch at the feeders that morning.

Today, he moved all the flowering baskets back out to the rail, plus he added his three topsy-turvy tomato planters, and all the cucumber baskets.  He planted broccoli and cauliflower in one of his raised vegetable beds today, plus replaced a few cabbage plants.  He also got both apple trees and both cherry trees planted.

I cleared a bunch of empty boxes out of the guest room and took them over to the mobile to help in finishing packing up that stuff over there.  I brought over a plastic 3-drawer cart and got it cleaned up good to put in the guest room.  Isaiah will be here Tuesday to spend his summer with us.  I moved some toys out of there and put them in the toy area out in the living room, and I went through and organized most of the video games again.  I believe the guest room is ready.

Hoping that the warm-up continues and nicer weather is on it's way to stay!
