UNCLE!!!!

I thought I could do it, but I can't. So, I GIVE UP!!!! I can't keep this house looking picture-perfect and ready for a showing every day and get anything done at the 'farm'. We've abandoned our previous plan of making the move as stress-free as possible. It just is NOT possible to do that. So this weekend, we're moving a bed and a table and chairs and a couple of TV chairs from the family room, and all the food and dishes to the acreage. That way I can get up in the morning and start right in with a garden project there and maybe wait until lunch to make the beds and do the dishes. The way it's been I'm missing out on the coolest part of the day. But the main garden is looking good and we're ready to move a new trellis in. I bought 2 beautiful honeysuckle vines to plant on either side last week and wouldn't you know it, the deer came along and ate all the vines off!!!! The plants will survive; I got my trusty Liquid Fence out and sprayed. I've always had good luck using that product as a deterrent. I'm busy tho' trying to keep up with researching the different flowers. I'm going to have to move some of the iris in order to plant the honeysuckle so I need to find out when I can do that.

The weather has been against us. This heat just does me in and I can't move by noon!!! We've made a lot of progress, but I haven't even taken pictures lately. I'm weeding in the morning and coming home and packing in the afternoons. After a week, we almost have the storage room cleaned out.

My sewing room will have to wait until we get the new floor installed in my new sewing room. That won't be until the end of June. In the mean time - I'm moving my PC and office stuff this weekend but won't have a chance to get things hooked up until I have a couple of rainy days.

Today it's raining so I'm finishing up a baby quilt I promised to my daughter to give as a gift for a June baby. I actually forgot about it until last night. I already had a pattern in mind and some blocks I can use from a left over quilt. Also making strawberry jam. But I realized I moved all my empty jam jars to the other place.

Everything will work out. I did get shelf liner in all the new cupboards so I'm ready to get that stuff out of here. Things will mellow after this weekend.

WE'RE STILL STANDING!!!!!
