I can't believe its almost 1pm already - today is just flying by!
WE just came in from the garden...the chickens are out running about...Charlie is down by the pond foraging.......Sam and Abigail collected todays eggs while I watered the vegetable garden. The zucchini are doing well.....we have our first strawberry growing - still the size of my pinky but at least its growing :) The corn is doing great.....as are the tomatoes (thankfully!)
My carrots don't seem to be doing so well this year.......any tips?????
Abigail has been practicing riding her bike.....when she falls off Sam purposely falls off his tractor too - as if in empathy! Its so funny!
Sam and Abby are having lunch atm......then we will walk to the mail box. I love that our mailbox is so far away.......its about a 15 - 20 minute walk there so going to check mail fills up an hour.....
Lloyd went into work late this morning which is always a nice treat :) he sat and had coffee in bed. After he left I sat and read my Runners World magazine. I haven't hada decent magazine for a few weeks and then this week I get 3 :) yay!! Ad a lady in Mississippi has kindly mailed me an April issue of RW mag too as I really wanted to read it :)
I can hear a chicken laying an egg lol!!!! Yesterday I picked one up from under a chicken and it was still hot and soft where it had only been laid a few seconds ago!
Sam has a snotty nose today and has been coughing a lot......then he came in to me with his nose needing a wipe....and he was covered in slimey stuff from head to toe.......I figured he had coughed so hard he had made himself sick....that phlegmy sick.....but NO
I smelled it all and then asked Abigail where her vaseline for her lips was. She said it was on the shelf...I asked her if Sam had hda it - and she said YES - its empty!!!!
Well, it was empty because it was EVERYWHERE...all over his THomas the Tank Engine train set.....all over the floor, all over Sam......
So I threw both him and Abigail in the bath and got th eplace cleaned up......then cleaned the bathrooms too while they were playing in the bath......so upstairs is nice and clean now....
Its windy out today which is nice as there were no mosquitoes at all while we were in the garden.
The breeze carries the scent from the Lilac trees - its gorgeous!
Lloyd finishes at 4pm and then is home for the weekend....no idea what we plan to do.....not sure if the kids friends are sleeping over tonight or not......all I know is Lloyd wants to go to Trail Appliances and price out kitchen stuff.....including a trash compactor (thanks Heather!!)
No more news for now......I think I have rambled enough :) Off to vacuum!
