Before and after pictures...

Before I begin on the "Before and after" pictures, I just wanted to share this one of the bouquet of lilacs that are on our table... They smell so very sweet--nearly good enough to eat!

Now for the pictures...

I'm sure the boys will want to post about the purchase of the morning, but as I have a before they worked on it, and an after one, I wanted to share them here.

Here's the before picture, taken at someone else's farm:


...and here's the after picture, by our shop: :)
Mother was taking a class in town most of the day, so that left the big kitchen clean-up to me this afternoon. On Sabbaths, we do not do any dishes, so Sundays are always big clean-up days in the kitchen.

So, here's the before picture:

...and here's the hour-and-a-half later picture:

The lawn in our "Park" needed mowing, as the grass was already 5-6 inches tall after growing for one week!

Before:

After: (Taken much later in the day, that's why the grass looks so dark).

Then too, there were the chicks that needed moving out of doors. (This is an older picture... We've since lost the black one for some unknown reason.)

Before--in the kitchen:

After--inside of a stock tank my dad cut the bottom out of today and that I put a rack on top of, so the cats and other critters stay out and the chickies stay in:

Oh, and this picture is a "Before" picture--before our cat, Mixie has her kittens: (I'll try to remember to post an after picture, if I can find the babies when they're born. She usually hides them pretty well!)

I hope you enjoyed a view into our day... :)
