HOME Sweet Homestead

Here's a little glimpse at what's been going on this week at the homestead...
I got two of these lights for the front porch at a showroom closeout sale for $20 each. It has made the front porch so much more welcoming. 
 
Also added to the front porch is a new-to-us bench. The arms are a little wobbly and it needs a paint job, but I've already enjoyed sitting on the front porch and watching the boys play.
 We tied up tomatoes and they already need to be tied again. 
They are growing so well!
 We got a new mailbox and it's now on our side of the road. Yay!
 We unraveled a ton of hoses that were on a tree and this giant hook was underneath. 
It was kind of a cool find.
 There are bricks everywhere! In flower beds, in the yard, around trees, I mean everywhere. This sweet little bunny also showed up in one of the flower beds, too.
 
Our friends let us borrow their tractor for a few days. We've already put it to good use. Bryan mowed around all the fences and what a difference it made!
 We have also hauled lots and lots of cinder blocks from various places on the property. Today I dug up 35 half blocks and hauled 5 wagon loads of bricks that were beside our side porch.
Also, it took me two days, but I finally got the first coat of paint on the walls in the bedroom. 
Things are shaping up around here, for sure!
