…..I had been wounded in the barnyard. I’m happy to say that that has pretty much healed. It’s only slightly sore to the touch, and the lump is gone.
Last Wednesday, the 20th, Calen had a clinic visit. He passed his exam and tests. Still in remission and doing well! Still growing like a weed! Everytime we go, he’s gotten taller and gained some weight. When we got to the clinic, I looked at my cell phone, no signal. hmmmmm……that’s weird. I kept checking it while we were in Lexington, and no signal. Not even a signal at Michaels. lol No signal all the way home. I tried really hard not to freak on the way home. It didn’t really bother me to drive around Lexington without it, but on the highway was a DIFFERENT story! To make a long story short, (oh wait, too late for that!) The company said the phone must be defective. It’s a new phone, and hasn’t worked right since I got it! So on Thursday, I sent the phone back and should be getting a replacement before too long.
Wednesday afternoon, we were sitting on the swings and I mentioned to the kids that maybe that night we’d start building our new fire pit. They said lets do it now! lol So we spent almost 3 hours gathering rocks out of the creek, and building it. (pic at another time) We found some frogs eggs on the underside of one rock. So their are now a LOT of frogs eggs in a bowl in my kitchen! lol After supper, we toasted marshmallows in our new fire pit!
Thursday and Friday, nothing major happened. Just the usual housework, schoolwork, animals, and with a little gardening thrown in. (pics at another time)
Saturday we all went shopping. The seven of us, and Granny. I bought some really cool gardening shoes at Tractor Supply, my new favorite store. Then on to Walmart. Believe it or not, I survived that trip! Then to my least favorite part, putting everything away. ugh!
Sunday we just hung around the house. IT SNOWED!! Unbelievable! I can’t remember the last time it snowed during Dogwood winter! Only Blackberry winter left! It was nice just hanging around, with nothing major to do, and no where to go!
Aw, Monday, back to the real world! The remaining 4 chicks moved out! We have NO MORE poultry IN THE HOUSE!!! I’m only a little excited! lol Now we only have the 3 kittens left in. The Mama cat goes in and out. Which is REALLY annoying! Oh, and it looks like our other female cat is going to have kittens. sigh. Anyone want a kitten or two??!! How ’bout a full grown cat? Great with kids!!
Last night we cooked hotdogs on sticks over the fire in our new fire pit. That was fun. We also toasted marshmallows. The kids wanted me to run to the store and get the rest of the fixin’s for s’mores. Mean mother that I am , I didn’t. Can’t have them thar youngin’s thinkin’ they’s a gonna get s’mores everytime we have a fire!
Today we have piano. And I really need to get the bulbs, etc. that came in the mail the other day planted. I decided it would be better to pressure wash the house BEFORE I planted the new stuff. Maybe I’ll at least do the part by the gardens today, If the rain holds off. Then I can get the stuff planted! Maybe one of these days, I’ll do a gardening post and tell you about my Bible Garden! For now, I need to get back to work, AND light a fire under my students!
