Catching Up & Everyday Stuff

Spring Break is over!  All the grandkids went home by Sunday afternoon.  We had a wonderful (tiring) week.

Funny thing, as soon as they left, one of the Ladies * Nanny Goats* ~ Miss Dandelion gave birth to twin girls.  Mind you, we had no births during the week the kids were here ~ as soon as they leave....here we go again!  The grands did stay busy feeding, petting, and romping with the TEN babies that were born the previous week.  They received and gave lots of love!

I'll get some pictures of the babies posted soon!

We have two more nannies left to kid.

Yesterday, I started on one of the numerous piles mountains of laundry.  The house is a disaster.  It looks like twelve two legged kids descended on it and did what kids do.  I'm not sure we will recover, but we loved (nearly) every minute.

 
With all that help here, we managed (in spite of all that help) to get the potatoes planted.  Later this week we will plant onions and snow peas.  Sweet Linda at Prairie Flower Farm gave me an excellent idea about planting sweet peas in with the snow peas!  I am going to do it.

Inside, I have tomato and pepper seedlings everywhere!  And I started some Rosemary seeds.

I love the smell of both Rosemary and Lavender!

Spring is my favorite season.  It is also our busiest!

Today, I had to get out and go to the grocery store, feed store, and the post office.  The only thing, I got to the post office about two minutes after they locked the door.  So, tomorrow I'll retrace my steps and go back to the post office and to the feed store.  I forgot worm medicine for the horses while I was there.

(I will not be worming the horse (Lightning) that helped me to see the sky a few weeks ago.)

I was going to post a picture of Lightning, he really is a sweetie...most of the time, but I can't find the picture I wanted.  I think I've lost an entire folder of pictures....YIKES!

Lightning looks a lot like this prutty thang -- this is not my picture and I have no idea where I got it -- but I like it.

We used to have a cat like that, too.  We called him Tux.

Tomorrow, will be busy!

We have to get back in the saddle with homeschooling - the boys are thrilled (kind of), I have to make my "rounds" again, also on the list is cleaning out the fridge (wish I had done so before going to the grocery), working on another mountain or two of laundry, make Triple Berry Jelly (son's request), clean the a/c (we've already seen temps in the 90's...just one day, but), and .....unless we have more babies.  Then we will just do what we gotta do....and love it!

We've began a new prayer routine....I'll try and post about it in a few days.  In the meantime, if you need prayer, leave me a note in the comments.

 May you be blessed in all that you do!

Prayers and hugs,

Cheryl
