spring cleaning

Spring comes very late to Woodruff, so I usually don't do my spring cleaning until the end of may, I usually plan it for the last week of school so Anthony can help......he really is a good sport about it, he helps wash windows, wipe down base boards, wash walls. Do you see why I wait until he can help. I've never lived in one place for so long so i am feeling very cluttered and the need to move so I can get rid of a lot junk and deep clean. The pile that I need to take to the DI is really getting high. Am I the only one who feels the need to de clutter, and deep clean but hate every minute of doing it??? Maybe if I could have a break from being mom, laundry maid, and cook then I could focus all my attention to getting the cleaning done? Does anyone else spring clean?? What do you do?

Where's Samuel?

I was scrolling through my blog and noticed that I haven't posted Samuel very much lately. Probably because ever since the snow melted he spends his days riding his bike all over. He loves being outside and can hardly wait to get out there in the mornings. He comes in to eat and have a break in the afternoon...:)

New life & Tractors

The weather doesn't show it but beginning in March spring arrives in Woodruff despite the cold weather their are hundreds of new little cows born. Me and the kids love to spot them and lately try to get a few pictures of them. Samuel always worries about them being out in the cold all night, we try to assure him that their moms snuggle them and keep them warm.

Another thing that has been very interesting to me is all of the old tractors that are just left out in the fields. It is the funniest thing they have just become part of the landscape, the ground has grown up around their tires. I always wonder what farmer got off of his tractor one day and just decided he'd leave it were it was. I think I'm going to start taking pictures of all the old tractors and trucks that are just part of the Rich County scenery.
