The dark little thing in the middle of the photo is one of the blue gill fish - there are 399 other ones swimming around the pond.

What a busy weekend Easter Weekend was. Friday Cris and I both had off so we dug 15 3-4 ft. holes (thank you tow-behind post hole digger!!!), mixed 30 bags of quickcrete and installed 15 -12 foot high posts in the ground.If rained like crazy last Friday night so Saturday we were unable to work on the barn. We did however pick up all the building materials we needed at the local lumber yard (which is cheaper, friendlier and more helpful than Lowes or Home Depot). We also picked up 400 blue gill fish and 10 pounds of minnows. The fish went into the pond Saturday, and Sunday we did not see any floaters so hopefully they will grow into big fish in the next 6 mos. I counted 7 turtles in the pond and numerous frogs too.
Easter Sunday was a beautiful so we packed up the dogs and headed to the farm. We were able to work on the top and bottom frame portion of the barn and got done everything we intended to do this weekend.
We still have a couple full weekends of building to do, but when it's complete, I think we will have ourselves a nice barn.
