May was great! May was busy! May wore me out - ha!
As already posted, Noah kicked off the month with his 15th birthday and a Preds game.
Celebrating a friend's 40th birthday.
Pretty pics any day of the week around the prop.
Things got planted. So many things!
Other things got picked. Sweetness.
More Sweet Rock scenes.
Adopt/Foster MNO at Chef's.
We took a day to cruise on up to Amish country in KY with Lori. We visited a feed/grain mill where she gets her chicken feed. Then stopped at a greenhouse and picked up goodies. Then stopped at a market for more goodies and lunch. It was the sweetest day out.
May always means strawberry picking!
Josh got catfish and minnows for the pond. Hoping they survive the muck to maybe clean it up a bit. We are gonna need more catfish though.
Kindergarten invented spelling has my heart.
We have finally settled on a mowing layout for all these acres - we mow right around the house with push mowers and we use the field mower along the driveway and to clear some walking paths through all the field and tall grass otherwise. Noah really loves the mowing. I do, too, actually!
Pretty flowers from Lori's yard at a party at her house for her 60th. Was a sweet time!
We have turkeys in the yard just about every day. They are the funniest to me when they trot up and down our driveway like it was meant for them.
Anna continues to create in our woods. She has started a new and improved fort. She takes down trees and all.
We have really tall grass. Taller than Lasa.
Sweet Rock from the mailbox. It was so neat to watch our neighbors' yards get mowed for hay.
May brought Field Day and the first day I was allowed to come to the school all year. Lasa loved that!
We interrupt this post for more Sweet Rock Farm views. Love Anna's hammock in this one.
More hockey! Noah's team took home the Win in the 14U Championship game. Great first season!
Park sesh with Redeemer friends when Gloria and kiddos were in town for a few.
What's that? Need more Sweet Rock landscapes? ;)
One Saturday we took down a couple trees.
May also brought me this accessory. I hurt myself slipping and falling while mowing. Wrenched my leg and ankle something fierce. Heard and felt a shock of a pop and just laid there in the yard, stranded for a bit before crawling to the house on all fours. So thankful it wasn't broken like I first feared. Just a ruptured tendon for this incident. Within a week I was hobbling around without the crutches. And within two weeks I was hobbling without the boot, too. Still moving slowly and healing. Probably will be for awhile.
May means end-of-school year for these two finallllllllly. We enjoyed our traditional breakfast out to mark the occasion. Next up, 8th and 9th grade!
Gorgeous misty morning shots.
May means the pool gets set up. We bring suburban life to the farm. Ha!
More planting in May...
Borrowed a friend's tiller and getting so much more ground covered!
Beans coming up.
Corn coming up.
End-of-Kindergarten Celebration at Lasa's school. We have been so thankful for her year in Mrs. Burton's class. She was just the right personality for my shy, shy baby.
Noah and Josh got to take in a Nashville Soccer game with some Community Group friends one weekend with some extra tickets of theirs. Noah LOVED this.
More May sunsets!
The bunnies join us inside on the daily.
First day of summer after school let out and already the "mommy, help me make a million tedious crafts" have begun. Ha!
May brought the opening of a cool new park just around the corner from us - Miracle Park. We checked it out with Becky and her crew for a solid three hours!
Looking forward to catching some amazing summer clouds in the coming months.
Anna and Josh camped out again by her new fort. But this time they slept in hammocks instead of tents.
Back porch visitor.
And that's it for May!
(well, except for Memorial Day plans (lake trip!), but those are gonna get lumped into June - ha!)

Such richness and blessings in your lives.
The farm came at the perfect time and I love that all 5 of you are enjoying it together in so many different ways.
And, I was giggling to myself at your man's beard. The gray is in the same exact spot as his brother's and I was literally telling my man it was time for a trim and some dye not even 2 hours ago.
May the summer of 2021 be your best yet!
Too funny! I am lucky if I can gently encourage Josh into a trim at all. Oy!
