Life has been plenty busy for the last couple of months. We ventured to Florida for Christmas. We flew out on Christmas Eve. That was quite the task due to the snowstorm in Portland and general crappy weather on the east coast. We were late but arrived with luggage.Christmas with the Brooks family was all about the twins. Then we followed up with their 2nd birthdays and lots of McDonalds Milkshakes.
Time passed quickly and soon we were home and right back into the frightful weather. Just in time for an ugly windstorm. Lost some shingles, lots of limbs and the new fence bite the dust in a couple of sections. The 2 x 4's are now replaced with 4 x 4's. They better hold. That makes for a REALLY expensive fence.
The wind is still howling in Corbett. I am tired of it!! We have additional shingles to replace now and it is just too cold. I have 50 raspberry plants and 10 blueberry bushes to get in the ground but I'm a fair weather gardener. I also have to till where the raspberries will go.Chuck is working too many hours but I only see that getting worse with the budget crisis. I'm working 3 days a week with rumors of going to 2 days. I wouldn't mind 2 days a week thru the spring and summer. I have several projects that will keep me busy at home.
Ok time to get myself moving on the weekend chores. Wookie is also getting a bath. He HATES his baths. But he is looking really ratty and dirty. I will now attempt to post a few pictures of the weather damage. The truck was just scratched. It looked like a total hit from the kitchen window.
