Kubota – HollyDee Quilts

When I see the smiling faces on the grandkids I can’t help but sing (to myself!) Green Acre’s is the Place for Me!

Kids need space to play…….

They need to be able to explore in nature and just play in the dirt!

And if they happen to have a Grandpa with a tractor – then they can also drive a tractor!

They also helped DeeDee (me) pick up trash a never-ending battle! It was so funny – she said she would help but she needed a pointy stick so she could just poke the trash and put it in the bag! They toured the house several times, guessing what room is what and of course made mud pies!

Waiting for the 4-way inspection, then the framing walk through with the builder, then sheetrock arrives while the exterior starts getting painted etc etc etc.

Green Acres we are THERE!

Hubby’s birthday was earlier this month and he got to pick out his present! And let me tell you he is just like a kid with a new toy!

The new toy - we might need a bigger barn! — The new toy – we might need a bigger barn!

I had not seen the progress on our home for 2 weeks so it was fun to walk around – but I spent more time visiting with future neighbors than taking photos. Lilly and David were at their property adding to their pile of fire wood. Lonnie stopped by on his ATV while his wife was out horseback riding in the neighborhood. Pat and Joni stopped on their way home from a Sunday matinee, she said Million Dollar Arm is the best film she has seen in a long time and she looks forward to seeing it again! And while grandpa was running the tractor the Red Horned Deer that resemble elk went running between our property and the neighbors a couple of times.

The back porch trusses, cedar ceiling goes up next week

Looking forward to a long weekend coming up. I teach on Saturday (check out my schedule on the left for where and when I will be in your area), then we will head to the property with a couple of chain saws and hopefully a lot of ambition!

Have a great week!
