WEEKEND HAPPENINGS!

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said,

 Tim is taking things apart in the garage?

He ordered parts for 2 of the 3 things in the garage.

Well, the parts came in for the snow blower!

We didn't know if this thing (snow blower) would work. Tim ordered parts to rebuild the carburetor.

GUESS WHAT???

It works!!!!!!

Saturday morning I went with my four daughters and some of my granddaughters to a craft fair. Two of the granddaughters took a picture with Santa.

The girls colored pictures and made a bag to put reindeer food in.

The fun stuff kids get to do.

While the girls and I were gone........

Trenching
Tim stayed home working on the homestead!

Check out the videos he did.

Letting cows out on new pasture

Cows grazing

When the girls and I got back home, this is what he had done so far. He is always busy doing something.

 The electric fencing is around the Vineyard Garden.

This area just past the electric fencing is where the pumpkins were growing.

Hope is checking things out too.

 Farmer Tim with his...

shovel?
 I thought you were suppose to have a pitch-fork!?

Harley the bull with one of his gals.

 We figured out where we want the other water spigot. So, of course, Tim works in the dark to get this done.

 This will be for the garden area.

 **** SUNDAY
Tim and I got up early Sunday morning and went to the city to get more items for the projects that need to be done this weekend. It rained over night and into the morning. UGH!

So a little change of plans.

Lets go get a Christmas tree!

This is our chosen tree.  

He put it on a shaker.

 Next, he wrapped it up.

 Getting a freshly cut end.

We brought the trailer to bring it home.

 Unstrapping it to bring it in the house.

 We got it inside to find out it won't sit down in the stand. 

So, Tim chopped some of the lower branches off.

 Getting the wrapping off of it.

 Viola.... our tree! 
The girls put the skirt on it and now its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
While the tree is sitting there resting. Resting while it drinks the water. The tree needs to relax a little before we decorate it.


It stopped raining and Tim heading out to get to work.
See this guys face?
Yep nothing outside is getting done until this dries up.

 The rain filled up his holes he trenched out the night before. He tried working on removing the water and mud to get the water line in.
It just was one big mess.

 Tim cleaned up his stuff and came inside to help decorate the tree with us.

 Skylar and Kaitlin hung the lights so we gathered in to help with the decorations.

 Now to put the star on the tree.

 Won't fit.

 Skylar had to trim some of the branches off.

 It's crooked!

 Kaitlin decorated herself too!

All decorated! 
We hung the stockings and the girls decorated the railings and we put out the nativity. It looks like Christmas now.


Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

~Isaiah 7:14
