June Check in Thread

[bonzo2012]

I can't believe it's June already! This year has flown by so quickly!

I'm busy planning all of my summer adventures (road trip to CA, trip to Hawaii with a friend, quick trip to western NY to visit my grandma).

We've also been putting in this year's garden, which also involved taking down some dead trees and putting in new fruit trees -- a combo pear and a combo apple. The chickens have moved outside, which is great since they were starting to get a bit messy down in the basement. I want the yard to be nice this year, since I think we'll be wanting to spend a lot of time outside watching the chickens!

What has everyone else been up to in the last month?
missjenniebean, how was the 1st birthday party?
kaeguri, did the move happen already, or is that still in progress?

Hi hi! Your summer time adventures sound amazing bonzo2012! I can't wait til we have a yard so we can plant fruit trees. I also want a small pond for my turtle and some ducks.

We haven't moved yet, move date is mid July. I need to go through all our crap and down size. How do we accumulate so much junk???

kaeguri, a turtle pond sounds like it would be a fun addition to a backyard! It is hard going through all the junk. When we moved 2 years ago, everything happened so quickly that we didn't really get a chance to sort through everything. We ended up having boxes that were basically unpacked into the recycling, because the movers just packed up all my grad school papers before I could sort them! Good luck!

bonzo2012 - fruit trees are lovely. Sounds like you have a busy summer with a lot of nice trips! I say send us a (virtual) postcard!

kaeguri - it's amazing how stuff accumulates, isn't it? A pond is nice to have! My old neighbors had a little tiny man made one with coy in it, which attracted frogs and other such pond type creatures. We were young at the time and thought it was the coolest thing. Best of luck for a smooth move!

Being outside and watching animals is just so relaxing. We live in an apartment so I will be living through you all!
