April Rocks

Funny how things happen. Overall, we would have never guessed that April would become one of our favorite months to live in Bow. But sure enough we have been most pleasantly surprised by all the neat things that have happened.... Blossoms on the fruit trees. Orchard smells fantastic. Leaves come out on the trees and the whole property has started to change. Birds and bats are out in force. Birds singing like mad. Bats coming out at sunset and silhouetted on the sky. Sunsets have been off the charts. We like. It is absolutely amazing to be in the house around sunset time - don't care what window you look out, the view is amazing. Wow.

Been working with the screen that needs to be nailed to the tar paper/plywood we nailed/stapled to the wood around the windows. The screen just plain sucks! Don't care how careful you are, or what kind of gloves you have on, you are going to get cut. You are going to bleed. You are going to swear - a lot! And, ever cut what seems to be like a mile of screen with a small pair of tin snips? The photo shows about one tenth of what was cut. I don't recommend it. Not fun, and sure enough, you get cut doing that too. Looks like we will have to wait till about mid week next week for Mark and Morgan to start the texturing on our interior walls. We will concentrate on prep work for it....such as nailing the final screening, buying the sills, and perhaps staining the window frames. No shortage of work....

Last but not least, we are finding out the month of May could be a big month for visitors.... on tap are Dick (from Colorado), Lisa and Dick, Matt and Rachel, Tom, Dan, and Debbie's mom in early June. Couldn't come too soon.....:)
