Mothers Day


Happy Mothers Day.  We had a great week.  The Signature Cabin is totally spring cleaned and the Tree Cabin is half done.  Monday Tally hopes to finish the east siding, the north siding is totally finished on the Boxcar Cabin.  I will try to get pictures up ASAP.  Tally almost got the siding done friday but every time he got going it would start to rain.  Tally would bring the tools out, cut and put up a few boards, the rain would start, tools would be put away, Tally would come inside.  As soon as he would come inside the sun would shine.  Out he would go to start the cycle again.  After lunch he finally just helped me clean a cabin.  We even had a snow squall.  Snow in May??
Yesterday we took a break from cabins and went to a branding.  It was fun to take a step back in time as they branded pretty much the old fashioned way.  It was such a smoothly run operation and a joy to watch.  There was every generation represented and all had their part.
I did pick out the color for the Boxcar cabin, it is a shade of red.  If I get ahead on the cleaning this week I will start the painting, we are painting the grey part and keep the green trim.
It gets quite hectic this time of year but when the dust settles (dust??? what dust) it all seems to get done.
To top off the week we picked up our chickens on friday.  They are so cute.  Guess when the siding is done and cabins are cleaned we better get the chicken coop done.  There won't be any eggs for guests until late July or so.  We will keep you informed on the egg production.
