Plowin’ with the Tractor
On Saturday afternoon Daddy and Noah went to plow up the lower garden down on the property. Noah is getting ready to plant our spring garden. Right now we have an abundance of broccoli! Mmmmmmm.

The tractor is an early 1940′s Ford. We give thanks to the Lord every time we hear the old engine fire up once more. LOL!

The S’morton wedding events
The following posts are from the 1st week in April. The pictures are from some of the events leading up to the S’morton wedding (Alan Smith/Katie Morton) which occurred on April 8th.
Getting ready for the big day!!!!!
Late Wednesday afternoon the Sanders Family (not including Noah) headed down to the Morton’s home. Noah and Momma’s brother, Uncle Brooke, had been down there since Monday morning to help serve their family by helping out with the barn and various other jobs. After we arrived, the next two days were a flurry of excitement as we made preparations for the wedding day.
Cleaning things up getting ready to put the tables in.
Martha ironing (look at that steam!) LOL!

Back to Work!
All of us girls sat outside in the cool of the evening and finished sewing all the last minute items. What wonderful memories!
The view down the aisle. Doesn’t the barn look lovely?
Amanda and I spent a lot of time on this fence!
Daddy and uncle Frank working hard!
On Friday afternoon the girls got to work setting 450 places! It was a race with the wind! As soon as we would finish a table and were about to put a cloth over it, the wind would blow the cups everywhere! LOL
With everyone pitching in it didn’t take long at all!

The Bridesmaids outing with Katie
On Thursday, Aunt Jeanine and Aunt Jacqueline, treated the bridesmaids to a luncheon with Katie at the famous Three Crazy Bakers! It was such a special time for us girls! Katie dear gave each of us bridesmaids an antique handkerchief! We will treasure them always Katie May(you are so special to all our hearts. We love you!).

Breakfast in the woods
On Friday morning some of the girls headed down into the woods to gather some greenery. We brought along our breakfast (pumpkin bread, banana nut bread and fruit) and had a jolly time! It was a special time with Katie May!
And off we go……….
Hungry anyone?
We lined up on this tree and ate our breakfast. Several times we heard some cracking noises, but it never did break!
Doesn’t Katie May paint a beautiful picture?
My dearest Enileda! What fun!
Inspecting what we had gathered.
After dumping what we had gathered so far into a bathtub, we decide to try the woods in the front of the house. We all pile in Wesley’s truck and our wonderful driver Adeline took us.
We found lots of honeysuckle.
