Quarantine Week 9

Things are same old same old. We started a chain link countdown to the end of school because we are all over it...especially Piper! I've been slashing and dashing some of her assignments. No sense in damaging relationships and ruining our lives. A little flexibility goes a long way. 

Scott's plan to track the sun every hour was dashed on his day off and on Saturday due to clouds. He is a little obsessed with gardening right now. No complaints from me I love any extra plants and attention to the yard. 

Piper is not one to be adventurous or like to go outside so getting her to ride her bike has been a struggle. Unfortunately after I finally taught her how to ride her bike she had one fun time where she actually rode her bike up and down the street for a long time and then she crashed. She has not wanted to give it a try since. I've had to force  her to get out there and take one lap here and there. My favorite was when she said, "Riding bikes is going to ruin my life." It was amazing! Ha.

I was feeling blah on Saturday so I had the brilliant idea to finally paint my laundry room to boost my spirits. You know how sometimes exercise or projects energize you...and you know how sometimes they don't...well this did NOT energize me. Immediately I realized that I had made a huge tiny mistake. Oh well! Good news is I'm almost done and it will be done which will be nice, bad news is it has been painful...literally! I've taped my hands up today so I could finish without blisters forming that are trying so hard to form. Can't wait to be done with it! 

Car date with Arbies coupons...it was good!

Scott had to get a different type of apple tree (one with 4 variteies on one tree).

Cute buddy

Having some forced outside time. Ha.

"Riding bikes is going to ruin my life."

I taped my hands up today so that it's less painful. Scott does this when he digs holes for his trees that he keeps moving and changing.

Our raspberries and some blueberries in a pot.

Left to right we have an apple tree, pear tree, cherry tree, cherry tree.

We have raspberries, blackberries and blueberries (I think) in the side yard. The tree in the back is a peach tree which is actually doing very well. I think it gets the most sun. There are a lot of tiny peaches on it. Fingers crossed!
