Spring is in full swing here and the weather has been absolutely great. I went home Easter morning and got to spend the day seeing family, which was great because I hadn't seen some of them in a very long time. After a very long and exhausting day on Sunday, I went and crashed that night. But Monday brought a new day and it was quite a busy day. I cleaned out a bed in our backyard and got about 8 tomato plants planted. And then on Tuesday I got 6 bell pepper plants and 2 squash plants in. We'll see how things go with them because the tomato and bell peppers need tons of sun but I didn't get things sorted out with planting location early enough so I had to make do with what was available. There's a tree blocking some of the sun light so some of the branches might be getting cut back or off completely. I'm excited to get a few things planted and hopefully in about two months I'll be showing all of you some pictures of our small harvest. The next time I'm home I'm going to see what I can do about getting a small herb garden in as well but I'll have to prepare a lot more for next year and hopefully be able to expand our garden a bit more as well.

I've been thinking a lot about early retirement lately mainly due to the great time that I've had on my days off. It's worked out to where I've been off more the last 1.5 months than usual which has been absolutely awesome and led to some...

This has been a great week at home, although anytime at home is a great week. Last Saturday we went hiking with our dog through one of the local state parks and had an awesome time at the hockey game on Sunday even though it made for a long day after...
