We're a Canadian family of five, farming, home schooling, and building our own house. I'm nowhere near as regular a blogger as I used to be.
The kids are 18/Grade 12, 16/Grade 11, and 14/Grade 10.

Sheila, that was last month, early April and then the mid-April blizzard. Much better now — as of yesterday, the perennials are popping out! I’m still going to wait til the weekend before planting much more, it’s supposed to be 0 tomorrow night. I’m just itching to plant my pots and get some blooming annuals in…
I’ve been meaning to get back to your anniversary reno post to enjoy it properly, i.e. not on Bloglines with a cup of coffee (or two). It’s been such a darn busy week!
