Moving Update

We have lift off!!....The plan is in execution! This weekend Tom loaded and unloaded 3 1/2 tons of rock and began placing the wall in the back! It is much smaller than the other wall! Maybe 50 feet long and 18 inches high. See the rocks?
It builds up a planting bed that helps maintain the back fence, the east end of the back yard. Looking good!

The big wall, before grass And trees added!

New Deck!
Lorna started the clean out, trash, sort...then things stalled a bit due to the inevitable fundamental lack of agreement regarding what does constitute trash! I think it's easy, you have not used it in 2 yrs ? Probably trash! Haven't opened a box in 2 yrs? Trash! Is it in the garage? It just might be trash! Tom has some priceless treasures buried in boxes he has not opened in 8 years (or longer). He is sure there is treasure in those boxes! So, the way we approach this is radically different, but the end goal is the same... sell this house and move into a smaller home in SLC area! So whatever it takes! Next on the agenda: list tasks to be completed before the move, then complete the tasks! I will not give up on the trashing part of this!
Good news! I got the Taxes finished and filed yesterday! Hooray for me! That is a job I generally dislike, just cause I hate giving the IRS more money! But it is always some kind of relief to be complete each year, even if I can not afford to celebrate the occasion!

Mandy and Katy will be here this weekend to play! YAY! Fly in Saturday morning (in their jammies...they leave Las Vegas at 6 am) fly back Sunday night! What fun shall we have for them? Mail or call with any and all ideas! We are planning Saturday in SLC. Mandy has plans Sat night; the tentative plan is to then go up to our house for Sunday. Everybody is welcome ya know!

I beleieve there is another bird nest being contructed near the front door. This year I will be very cautious to not disrupt it! Last year it was IN the wreath!! I cleaned the wreath to decorate it for spring and summer, and wrecked the nest and broke the eggs in it! I was mortified! I can not find the nest yet, but there is a lot of bird activity and noise going on around the front porch! I am keeping a weather eye for the bird nest! I thought that since there is no kitty cat here this spring they might be bolder in the nesting!
