I'm also feeding the two younger girls dandelions for breakfast, and they can't even taste them in the scramble I made. I need to pick more dandelions up on my next trip to the "big city." I am on my last bag in the freezer. They go back to school tomorrow. They had a very short spring break.
Today the sun is shining and the temperature may reach about 57°F so I'm heading out to the barn(s) and locating corner fence posts. By golly, a dog fence is going up one way or another, even if that means me digging and putting in corner poles. One day at a time.
King is gaining strength and he needs room to romp and play and disperse his high energy. Zuri too, just not as much of that "Lab" energy King has.
I am locating Hubby many root cellar plans to review. I'll have to check to see if the building permit is still $50.00, but otherwise we will start buying supplies. We'll need to get that other dead tree knocked down first, but we can get plans rolling, supplies purchased, and so forth. We are thankful we have family in the construction business. I'll need to whip up some outdoor patio meals for the hungry guys, so I'm meal planning for that today too (just getting some ideas on paper).
My favorite idea for a root cellar is to rip out the entire kitchen floor, dig it under there, and put a door in the floor. Hubby knocked that idea right out the door. It would be ideal, but with so many living here, and animals, we'd have to live elsewhere to do all that. It would make an ideal storm shelter too. Phooey. Either way, we'll get a location for it.
Now, let's all pray for good weather this year, and not a monsoon like the entire season last year.

A fenced in yard for the dogs, a root cellar . . . uh-oh, the spring projects are beginning in your neck o' the woods! Ours are still in the planning stages, but now with more than 50% of our snow gone, we are getting outside to do a few things.
We're doing ok here. Storms from the midwest seem to have all gone north or south, which is good for us here in south central NC. Allergies are still a problem though, a terrible problem, with yellow pollen flying thick like dust storms through the air, and when it rains, it flows down the side of the road like sludge. It's terrible.
I pray everyone has a safe happy weekend.
God bless.

I think digging up and relocating a propane tank is expensive, but you should be able to put the root cellar within 25' of it. Right?
God bless.
