Save the Trees!!!

Spring is upon us! Sunday - Tuesday in Boise was just about as gorgeous as it gets here, which is saying plenty as it is a beautiful place in which we live. We had a storm yesterday and today the sun is out again. YAY!!! Winter has been the guest that has waay overstayed its welcome.
Lily and I are becoming gardeners this year. We started a while back on a suddenly sunny day. We have been blessed with 2 very mature apple trees in our backyard. The sad thing is that no one has taken care of them in quite sometime. It is our goal this year to rescue them!


Monday, I began the task during nap time. This is the advantage to having afternoons off now! This is where I am currently at:


Here are some questions I have as we are doing this on a budget of $0.00~
1. What to do with a ton of dirt and weeds, I call them leftovers. Where do they go? Who wants a bunch of dirt and weeds??
2. How big will my muscles get by manually tilling the soil? I feel pretty buff already!
3. Does anyone have a chain saw we could borrow?

Other than this job, things are great! I had a Bunco party at the house last Saturday. We had plenty of wine and food. My advice: When having a party, make it an appretizer function. Who doesn't LOVE appetizers? Fun times!

Winners Table :)

The Losers Table :(

Pete got home in time to play one last game with us! Guess who has a new favorite game!! Good thing his evening consisted of hosting a casino night, so a house full of ladies was just what he needed when he got home!


I will post a new recipe for Texas Sheet Cake. It is too die for~
