The garden is continuing to flourish despite our lack of rain (the soaker hoses have been getting a work out!). This is the first time I have grown potatoes and they are now big enough to hill up. As always, the kitties were there to help me.
While in TN, my mom gave me some asparagus seedlings that she grew from her plants. I don't have a permanent bed for the asparagus yet so I potted a few seedlings in each of these pots and set them in the garden for now. It will be at least another year before the plants will produce any spears to harvest.
To make feeding the horses a little simpler, I made this white board chart using the vinyl cutter at work. Now if Matthew or someone else has to feed the horses for me, they'll know who gets what. I already added Spice and Peanut (our miniature horses) since they will be joining us soon. Once I have a tack room we can hang the chart above the feed bins.
Our biggest (and most expensive) project has been installing permanent horse fencing. We decided to hire someone for this project instead of doing it ourselves. It only took them two days and looks great!
Some of the supplies.
They used a tractor mounted auger to set the corner posts but dug all of the line posts by hand.
They also used the tractor the run and tension the fence wire.
While they are installing the fence, I dug out the chain link posts that were inside the horses' pen.
Here's one photo of the finished fence! More photos to come.
Inside the house I have been working on one of the guest rooms. I painted all of the trim and inside the closet (yes, I am a perfectionist!). The closet doors don't look too bad until you see them re-painted!
And here are a few more photos from around the house:
A new addition to my flower bed, a columbine.

A little hatchling box turtle that someone rescued and brought into the science center. He's now enjoying our woods!
