The HANDFUL

Rain, rain, rain and then more rain, then snow; oh, and let's not forget that terrific wind along with the beautiful upper 60s one day then cool and in the 30s the next. Little sunny but cool then dreary, dreary, dreary. Yep, Spring has sprung in the Midwest. Not a complaint just reporting observational information cause I believe this is much better then hot and buggy! Our trees are starting to bud, I've seen some tulip and daffodil leaves starting to poke through. I started my own cilantro and basil in a recycled milk jug so here's hoping that pans out. I'd like to get some veggies going just not sure in what manner I want to do it. And, unfortunately, my thumbs are not green!

I have not seen the bluebird around lately but gracious we have had plenty of robins and black birds in the yard along with sparrows. With all the rain it seems they are enjoying a worm smorgasboard out there. Won't be too long we will need to get the hummingbird feeders out. Really hoping the bluebirds show back up!

Pretty much just life going on as of late. It makes for long days and short nights on some occasions but that is what makes it life. Gonna enjoy it!

The HANDFUL

We've had a houseguest this week...thought she was going home today but she's having too much fun so she's ask for another day! What a week we've had. Cousins have been over and we've also been to see them, Aunts and Uncles have been by as well as Grands and she even got to see the 4H project bovine "Cash". We've played outside everyday even on the blustery days. GraveDigger has seen a lot of action as have the balls, paintbrushes and swingset! She's been spoiled with her favorite foods of meatloaf, fish sticks, french fries, waffles and pizza, oh my. We've also been shopping, cow cruising, horse hunting and a Sonic visit. Only disappointment has been no ostriches! We also did some testing out of her "sleeping arrangement" in ROADA as we are planning to take her with us this year...stay tuned for how that pans out. We are certainly hoping for travel time soon!

It's gonna be awfully quiet around here when you are gone...already planning another MO visit with her but for now she is ready to return to the Northland and her momma and daddy. She has had a great visit for sure and many memories are etched in my brain for sure as well as hers I hope!
