Spring?

I sit at my computer wondering where the spring has gone. It is April, but I woke up to frost on the ground! I am not sure what to expect next. We had extensive storm and hail damage on the 9th, when our neighbor's trampoline and swing set blew into our yard and the back fence blow out. 

Our neighbors more then made up for the trouble with an awesome birthday party complete with a visit from a Fire Truck: 

For the majority we have had beautiful days and weekends to be at the camper:

Ray with all his free stuff at the Mark Twain Visitor's Center: 

Looking at Mark Twain Lake, I love how Katie just climbed up to get a better view!

Katie Fishing: 

Ray started baseball!

Katie is as silly as ever!

We even finished some work in our yard. We put in new mulch. The pictures start from the left of the house if you were standing in the driveway. We've extended the beds to the corners to add in more flowers and make it easier for BJ to mow. It turned out so beautiful! BJ, Ray, and Katie all helped! 

We didn't set up the pool, but are using the spot for some garden space for corn and all kinds of melons: 

We had over 50 strawberries pop up in the bed we planted last year. BJ had a great idea to use the old mulch from the front to keep the weeds down....I love it! It was a lot of work but I can't wait to have strawberries to eat! Off to the left you can see the poles we put up for peas, and the start of the long row of beans and tomatoes too.
