WHOOSH!!!! – so much has happened in our lives since last post.
I have had two – count ’em – two works trips in the past week.
Road trip #1 – Knoxville TN – while I love my home and love my country and love my house – Knoxville is a place I could live. It was nice to see green trees, grass and actual blooming flowers. A great trip – full of knowledge. The “Boys” survived- the Hubs survived and wonders how I do it?? – “How do you do it”. Standard reply – “I just do”. He says morning chores take a long time – no they don’t!!! 15 minutes – tops. It’s about the flow. I’ll get into the flow in another post soon. The summer flow. I believe I already went through the winter flow.
Kittens – Lyla finally dropped her litter of kittens and the world said “AWWWW”!!! We knew it was coming. She was swollen and lazy. Saturday morning she looked much thinner. Now to find the kittens. We thought for sure they would be under the barn. I crawled under with my trusty flash light. Nope. Goat barn. Nope. Top side of the “boys” barn – nope. On a whim I checked in the garage – where incidentally Scraps moved her kittens to and the cutest site greeted me. Two mamas – curled up – 6 kittens curled up. They take turns feeding each others litters – So cute!
Gazebo – my Gazebo is up. Now we can enjoy outdoors at dusk without getting eaten alive by black flies. Bumper crop this year. Amazing we how we found all the pieces for it yet I still cannot find my peach cardigan!
Road trip #2 – Toronto for the day. Uneventful as Toronto often is.
The Piece de Resistance???…BATS!!! – we have bats – lots of bats – living in our attic. Yes yes – I know – they are messy – their poops are gross but ohhhh…how I love bats. Basically rats with wings and I love rats – Not sewer rats – pet rats- with their little rats faces. I had a pet rat – Ratty Ratterson – oh sorry – off topic. Bats – Bats rhyme with Rats you know?…OK sorry I had a long day. Bats – they will eat the black flies and mosquitoes and dreaded June bugs who will be popping out of the ground any day now.
So – a quick recap. Roads trips and Bats – Kittens and Rats.
Mother’s day!! a lovely dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend – so nice – a wonderful day with my Mother in Law with Gazebos and cafes and pulled pork dinners with Chacuterie plate for a snack and a poem read to me by my son which brought me to tears.
Long weekend coming – extra long weekend – so excited!!!
