Surprising no one, Sydney has been ambitious in his yard projects. A very wet couple of weeks has put work at the farm on hold, so he has built a large new bed in the front yard, created a rock path (suddenly we all have arm muscles after our winter sloth), and is hard at work on a chicken coop.
Although the kids remain distinctly unimpressed by our computer work, they have come up with projects of their own around the yard, including lots of jump roping. The school jump rope team, of which they were both members, had several spring performances scheduled–and then canceled–so the kids are making do with our sidewalk and driveway.
