I’m in western North Carolina. We have had a very warm and dry spring so far. Daffodils all up around same time as last year, but gone sooner. We also saw a couple lightning bugs (fireflies) the last few nights which is WAY early for us. That doesn’t typically start until late May. Pear and apple trees have already blossomed and are starting to leaf out. Blueberry bushes are full of buds. Usually our last frost is around mid-May, so I have waited to plant. However, I’m starting to think we won’t be seeing another frost and might be behind if I don’t get started.

Holly made a run to get some delicious meat from a local farm. So grateful for all these people who care about what we are putting into our bodies and what that does to our planet! Thanks to Kat, the Kat-lings and anyone else who helped with cooking!

JR and his root cellar crew!

Short people DO have somebody! The Cooper pooper was a little tall for a short person like myself. Thank you, Katie, for building a stool stool to help me pass…the time 😀 a little easier.

Already the last day!!??

Cooper Cabin has been a nice, cool place to retreat after a hot day of work.

Welders with similes on their faces.

So many delicious and fresh meals shared together!

Sauna at Cooper cabin.

Pee outside everywhere!! 😂🤣😁
