Sunny Day Outside
Monday was sunny and beautiful so Clay and I spent as much time as we could out of doors. I put his "outside" clothes on him so he could add to his collection of mud stains on them. We worked in the front yard and I got his tools out, but he insisted on using Mommy's broom and rake instead.
Next door, Ivonka and her husband were getting their potato spuds in the ground and Clay desperately wanted to go over the fence to help. She didn't ask so I didn't offer. I'm sure he wouldn't have been that much help. Later in the afternoon they had a tree man come to prune their fruit trees. Clay was fascinated by this old man up on the ladder and he and our old neighbor entertained Clay between snips by making trumpets out of buttercups and whistles out of broadleaf weeds.
Timothy's home sick from work today and Clay is beside himself with joy. Timothy is sitting there with his eyes closed, but that doesn't really matter to Clay. Just to have his dad present is enough for him.
I realized yesterday that we have about 3 weeks to settle on a house. hmm Guess it's time to really get the ball rolling.

Sounds like Spring is in the air in Slovenia. Why bother working in the yard if you're leaving in three weeks. ;)
Are you buying a house or renting. And doesn't all this have to be done right around when you're coming out here?
Mary,
I like working outside and we don't do a lot of upkeep here since we're renting. Just enough to keep it looking nice and neat.
Tisra,
We're renting with hopes of buying another house in the next year or two. QSI pays our rent (up to 1000 euros), but it's still better to own. Yeah, our schedule is a bit tight as far as finding a bigger house, but we have some very promising options in front of us!
