We lost our buyer. But it's OK. We'll keep on, keeping on. Lucky for us they weren't in our house when they decided to split. That is such a curious thing to me. One minute they think they want to make a huge purchase together and the next minute they are taking a break from their relationship. Maybe they knew they needed big changes, but weren't sure which extreme end of it.
We are in the countdown to summer break! I'm excited. However I have a class that starts before my kids are done with school, and that's no fun. It's a CPR/First Aid class. I picked up my supplies for my summer classes and Joel was flipping through my book for this class. There are a lot of gross pictures in it, and I am not looking forward to the class. There's a reason I'm not going into nursing! I hope none of the kids in my class lose their fingers or have a broken arm with the bone poking out while I'm in charge! Eeek!
It has been raining here a crazy amount this last week, and we have more on the way. Our rain gauge said we got almost 4 inches of rain on Wednesday and Thursday. Some of our plants are growing so much! It's exciting to see them all come up. Although, I am still waiting for my Elephant Ear to grow, I'm excited to see how it turns out. I plan to spend all of tomorrow and Monday working in the yard on various things. I haven't forgotten about the pictures I took last week that I promised to post for you, Mom! I will get to those too!
Today I learned that our beautiful plum tree, which is about 10 feet tall, has a disease called "black knot". I have to treat it this weekend by cutting off branches that are affected, and burn them, then I have to treat the tree with a spray. I hope it works, because we were super excited to see fruit growing on a tree we thought was an imposter "mock" plum tree. Our apple tree has a lot of fruit growing on it, and we are excited to see that too! We didn't see any bees out when the trees were in blossom and we got super cold after the blossoms too, so we thought it would be a bad year for fruit. Happy it's not! I think it might be a Golden Delicious tree.
The kids are also bugging us to get the pool up. We have some friends who are moving and sold us their pool and trampoline. So I might try to get that up too, we will see if we have time. I could have used it a few days ago when it was super hot!
Sorry you lost your buyer. It did sound too good to be true but I was really hoping it would work out! Hopefully you get another one really soon. And bummer about your one tree! Here's to hoping you still get plenty of yummy fruit this season! We need more pics btw of said trees and pool and trampoline. :)
