NEW POST!

Ummm, did you think I fell in the pond?

I didn't, I got a new neighbor.
And seriously, how much blogging would you get done with this guy living across the driveway?

Actually we've been very busy with lots of things, not just the neighbor.
We cleaned the barn and took it from this...

To this...

Still a lot of work to do, but it's a start.
We recovered three stalls, the entire front section and an enclosed run on the outside of the barn.
Now we just have to raise the center section and re roof it.
No biggy :)

We cleaned a big part of the pasture from winter blow downs and overgrowth.
That took days, it's a good thing we had lot's of quality supervision.

I've been making lot's of soap and lot's of rugs and found a new market on Ebay.

Ebay?
Who knew?
I thought the competition would be brutal, but Six suggested I try and I started selling stuff the first day.
But I'm all out of sheets for my rugs now so I have to make the trek downtown to the stinky Goodwill warehouse sorting station where I can get stuff by the pound instead of by the item.
All you need is a good air filtration mask and a hazmat suit and you're good to go for a days worth of picking.
I'll take pictures when I go, but I'm telling you right now it's an unsettling sight.

Last weekend we moved Wyatt upstairs and re purposed his room into a guest room and now I really feel like a granny because in my mind only responsible people and grandparents have guest rooms so that obviously puts me in the category of the latter.
I think I need to paint the room white.
What do you think?

The entire house is paneling and we plan to paint this summer.
Do you have any paneling painting tips?
Maybe the "guest room" will be good practice.

The neighbor's here, I gotta go kiss his face.
