dunnington (not daily!) digest: 05.10

there are you happy?!... finally gave you an update!

okay so the last month has been crazy....!

let's see...

it's been really stressful at work, had to tell a friend/co-worker some work-related bad news and i have fought to change it!

trying to get some things done around the yard... i now have a 28 foot raised garden bed... it is split into 4 parts... one for rhubarb (btw didn't like the transplanting or the dandelion spray!), one for herbs, one for strawberries and one for asparagus!

the dandelions are sprayed, curt has been removing some unwanted items from the yard (kinda a mess, but the yard has great potential!), new perennials were bought and transplanted, the garden is planted...etc etc!

so life has been busy...

also some more news... i am going to 5 days of schooling this summer, i have also committed to taking my master's starting january and i have a new teaching job starting this fall!!! (at a school 14 km from our house!)

curt will be super busy this fall again with lentils and more lentils...

so yes we will be busy... no boredom for us!

that's it for now, have a great week, enjoy this warm weather! keep cool -- in more ways than one!

till next time...

i just love this time of year!

i think this is the time of year that i wish i didn't have a full time job...that way i could be gardening, planting, weeding etc all the time... anyways i fit it in when i can! plus summer is coming!!!

a shot at some of my favorite flowers... (don't mind the weeds! haha)

tegg's "scowl"... looks over his eyes at you!!! ha ha

and btw.... i am "addie"!

looking for a cool card idea?

i came across this idea one day... and decided that the kids should make these for mother's day! what a hit!

they are very easy...
1. cut out 6 circles (or however many you need, depending on how you fold them) (and if you have a circle punch even better!)
2. fold 2 sides to make it look like a piece of pie
3. fit them together, glue on paper
4. glue a button or stone for the flower center

these work best if you use double sided printed paper.... aren't they cute?
