After seemingly a month’s worth of cloudy, cool days and rain, it is finally starting to feel more like May. My daffodils are going totally crazy. The first ones I planted have multiplied and multiplied until they’re nearly solid in the daylily bed! That’s cool because just as they’re getting done, the daylilies are getting going so you don’t see the wilted, brown leaves of the poor daffodils.<\/p>\n
This weekend, David and family were up, working on the house. Or, should I say, getting ready to have the septic put in. To do that, the installer has to have the county inspector come out and check out the soil on David’s hill. Will had to first fix the backhoe, so he could dig the 6-foot-deep holes the inspector needed to see and bulldoze several trees out of the way so the installer could work at installing the septic tank and drain field. (Isn’t it great to have equipment, instead of having to hire someone to come in?) So, Will got busy, shoving trees down and David cut them up to carrying-length poles and stacked them on his wood pile.<\/p>\n After all was done, Delilah got lessons in riding Daddy’s old foot-powered “bike.” It was funny as she already knows how to drive a battery-operated kiddie airplane, stepping on the peddle to make it go. She couldn’t quite figure out you had to actually “walk” the bike to make it go, but both Dad and Grandpa helped her out. I’m sure she’ll grow to love it, just like Dad did. It has lots of miles on it already!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Clearing_8097.jpg\"){kind=spacer}
