Signs of Spring

Most people look out their windows this time of year, and rejoice to see a robin. Or Nightwing, or Red Hood. We don't know. 

Anyway, we look out our window and see the guineas. They like to see whats for dinner in the evenings.

Because spring is bearing down on us, Lawman figured he had better start doing some of his "to do" list. One was clearing a spot for two pear trees he started from seeds. They are two years old in pots, and it's time to make the big dig. He picked a spot near the bitch barn so he can sit on the porch of the barn and shoot deer with his bow. 

So he took the DT's down with him and crawled up in the wild rose bushes with his chain saw. The first scrub he came across, the chain came off the bar. Which is about right.

While he did field repairs on the saw, Willow went for a swim.

Augustus sat and watched

After the saw got back in action, Lawman cleared his spot and used the scrub to add cover for the small pond.

The day after, it started raining. Lawman was stuck inside the rest of the week, so he did some shackbitch stuff. 

A fresh batch of laundry detergent.

We found a pack of sliced pork belly at the local store, so he rendered it down for the grease one day. The only down side we've found to the Blackstone so far is the grease runs into a trap, so our bacon grease is mingled in with steak grease and chicken grease. Pretty much everything we cook. So we reloaded the bacon grease cans this week.

One day was new cookie recipe day. This week, home made Oreo's. No filling, he used white choco chips for contrast.

Then he baked a pound cake for one of the neighbors

Then to end the week, we found a local distillery that makes whisky (they use the "e", we don't) and vodka. Or as they say, it's all made in Virginia, so it's VAdka. So we stopped by and picked up some local flavor.

One the way home from the distillery, Cupcake found a bag of jelly beans. Lawman asked her to save the black ones for him, and was sad to learn there were no black beans in the bag she bought.

So in true 'Bender' style, he bought his own bag of jelly beans. 

We ended the week with "steak and tater" night. And naps.
