Birthdays & a taste of spring

09:30, 2007-Feb-22 .. 1 comments .. Link

Yesterday was Hayes’ 6th birthday. It was very low key, although I was proud I was able to bake her cake in our woodstove. Then Diamond Dog ate half of it. (That’s a couple of days after Diamond ate the luscious toffee candy our friend Charleen gave Alex!) I banned all animals from the house after that.

            We had a midwife visit. Cort is “off the chart” on weight for his age (now 7 weeks).

            Alex made me a little fenced in front yard, mostly because Lisa kept coming on the porch and eating dog and cat food. When Lisa was at the horse rescue, she’d break fences. I attributed it to her being in a pasture with three bossy ponies. Now she’s just acting like she’s starving instead of foraging for food like the other girls.

            The little yard also has a nice planting bed against the house for my herbs. My neighbor Mike read my blog about seed starting and brought me a brand new greenhouse he had in his garage. I was so excited!

            It’s been so nice and a real break from the cold. Yesterday reached 72 degrees and today was sunny, but windy. Alex tilled our garden spot with the tractor tiller, but we’ll be picking rocks out of it for the rest of our lives!
