Hello there, Rural Sprout readers,

This weekend I'm keeping it short and sweet. I have a good friend visiting who is kindly helping me check off a number of projects on my lengthy to-do list. 

There have been lots of terrible dad jokes. 

And with all the cold, rainy weather we've had, it means muddy boots and shovels. But with a little help from a friend, I am officially ready for summer. You know, anytime it wants to show up.
