We had our baby shower this past weekend, and I'm glad to have it behind us. There's still another one for/from my side of the family in two weeks but it should be very low-key comparatively. My mother drove for 8 hours to be here for the weekend (New England summer roadwork smh) and it was the first time we've seen her since last August, so it was really wonderful to have her up. I sent her home with so many plants.......

I'm nearly done rebuilding our original bird coop, and it'll be super great to have that finished and ready. It was a huge pain to move by myself with no tractor access but the frame held up admirably, and the new tweaks should make maintenance way easier - it feels like a prerequisite with all of the additional work we'll be facing in another month.
