The boys are back in town...

Our  Grandsons Jude and Aidan are here for the week. March break doncha know.
It is time to rediscover old forts, check the barn for racoons and plan gardens. I started this post yesterday and did not have a chance to get it written. Well today it is thursday, I am not doing well posting this week at all am I ?
As I said at the start of this post days ago ...the boys are back in town. They have been exploring ,planting, running,chopping ,lighting fires,rounding up chickens, cooking syrup,moving wood and eating me out of house and home...wow
Jude is catching up to Aidan in the eating department. They have a full breakfast in the morning, Eggs, meat, fried potatoes,toast, juice ,tea ,cheeses and assorted fruit...Jude loves kiwi and bananas. And on alternate days oatmeal laden with brown sugar and heavy cream...
Last evening we attended our Rotary meeting and Jude impressed everyone with his eating of a full prime rib dinner ,baked potato and mixed beans followed by dessert..
We have gotten a lot done. Planted peas,turnips,spinach,potatoes,lettuce and carrots. We have burned the small gardens and Ken did the large one. We have laid newspapers and covered them with straw...the thick layer of newspapers ,wet will keep the weeds down to almost nothing ...and they are free for the asking most often.
So we have been busy here and the boys have had a blast. They went for a very long walk yesterday through the bush .
I love having them here and they love to learn..again ...neither of them care about the no lights,no tv,no toaster or any of the other things we do not have ,But what they do indeed notice is the taste of food on the wood stove...especially the baked beans I made the other day....hmmmm maybe that would account for them eating me out of house and home ...do you think?
Until next time ...enjoy this gift of beautiful weather.
