Catching up

Its been a bit since we've posted and I didn't want anyone to think we'd been resting or anything.  ;-)

We officially listed our house on Friday.  That required an insane amount of cleaning, moving, packing and did I mention cleaning?  All of this in the same week we were getting ready to leave for our vacation in Colorado.  That would be why we haven't gotten much posted lately.

You can see our house listed here:  http://www.stephensre.idxco.com/idx/6117/details.php?idxID=392&listingID=128790   I would recommend looking now before we get back from vacation.  It won't stay this clean for long!  LOL

We left for vacation early Saturday morning and made it safely to Colorado Springs, CO, that afternoon.  While we've been gone, Aaron has been hard at work at the farm.  We marked off a contour line for our future grape trellises and marked spots for the trees we bought.  Aaron is planting the trees this week and may be digging the swales for the grape trellis before he leaves on Thursday.  He has also built and back filled the other half of the retaining wall.

If you look closely, you will see the flags marking the contour line

I managed to get a bunch of grape vine trimmings on Thursday and took them to the farm.  Aaron is going to put rooting powder on the cut ends and put them in a planting bed.  Hopefully a few of them will survive and we'll get a few more plants out of it.  If not, then at least Aaron now knows how to prep grape cuttings.  He has also done a ton of weeding and other great work around the farm.  We'll be sad to see him go and we'll hope we get to see him again!

Aaron weeded the herb area - it looks so much nicer now!

In other news (and if you've managed to read this far), today is Jeremy and I's 13th wedding anniversary.  We took an awesome hike in the Colorado mountains with Jacob and then enjoyed some quality time with Jeremy's grandparents.  Did I mention that the high was only 80 degrees today?  Perfect!
