The Barn has WALLS!

Yeah again! Our barn has it's walls now!! (I never would have predicted that I would have been this excited about a barn!) Brian and Eddie worked hard today-- Brian had a goose call in his back pocket, so in between boards they would call in their feathered friends and occasionally shoot at them! You know you're a redneck when you can hunt WHILE you're building your barn! Now it just needs it's MONSTER sized beam to be put in place for the loft, and we'll have tons of space for all our junk... I mean tools.

I've been doing really well getting rid of things, though. I'm just one of those people that never throw anything away --high school cheer leading uniform (sorry Brian- I will NEVER fit in it again!), prom dresses, yearbooks, photos, even old notes (Jenn and I used to write back and forth in notebooks!) I keep lots of stuff... Brian will always complain... I will NEVER throw it away! It may not be until my great great grand daughter treasures these antiques, but hopefully someday they'll be appreciated! I think I take after my Great Grandma Caufield, who "kept things for good", and kept boxes of used wrapping paper and nylons still in the package and odd things like that! And since we plan on having this place for the rest of our lives... NOT my problem!! (sorry Eva... you know your brothers won't CLEAN anything!) I just cleaned out junk and old clothes and some old and outdated craft stuff (don't worry Mom- nothing good)
It's much prettier here when the flowers and leaves come out... but we're due to get some snow tomorrow- so that'll freshen up the brown!
