Rick put primer on the cabinets, doors and drawers today.

Yes, those are grass plugs! We have to haul in some more dirt to fill in the center area before I can continue.

What a difference a week makes. Just one week of warm weather following a little rain has really greened up everything. The trees put on leaves again (for the third time now), and the grass is really growing. This is taken from the same spot as the picture on 4/19.

Minx the wonder cat.

Apple blossoms!

The new mailbox

The grass is beginning to grow.
This is the severe thunderstorm Thursday afternoon (4/16) with tornadoes and lots of hail. It developed over the farm and moved over Highland Oaks and south Lubbock.

Progress with cabinets...Rick still has to make doors & drawers but it's coming along well. We then just lack painting cabinets/walls, putting on countertops, placing trim on doors & baseboard, wiring plugs, putting in appliances, and putting finishing coat on floors. We are on track for move-in by the end of May. We are also on the waiting list to have the phone line (& DSL) installed from the front of the property, and the mailbox will go up this week.

The 94 hills of potatoes have been frozen to the ground twice but are making another comeback. The trees are also trying another comeback. For the first time, we actually have apple blossoms this year (and they survived the freezes)!

Let's hope all this windy and cool weather is on its way out and that we get a good rain soon. It's really dry.
