Thank goodness, spring is almost here. 12 hours and counting. We can make it if we just hold on a little... bit... longer... I will be so relieved to leave this miserable winter behind all of us. One that should never be repeated.
Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year. The hubs tilled the garden for me and it looks marvelous. Although I pulled most all of the plants out last fall, I left the hay/mulch on top and it was incredible how much moisture was retained in the garden soil. It is nothing fancy, just good feedlot manure, but it looks, feels and smells like rich, fertile garden soil should. Mmmmmmmm.
Kenyon insisted we all leave handprints in the dirt. And when your four year old asks you to, you oblige him.
This picture makes me giggle every time I look at it. Yesterday afternoon I laid Kathryn down for a nap. I could hear her crawling around and playing in her crib for the first several minutes, and then there was a terrible shriek and cry for a few minutes. When it didn't subside I decided to poke my head in and check on her. She had pulled herself up but was too scared to let go and sit back down. Its rough learning all sorts of new things. And yes, when she woke from her nap I lowered her mattress first thing.
It is absolutely exhausting just being so cute all the time. That, and Mom took a very long, very hot, very needed shower right before nap time. Well, apparently I went to take a shower and it became nap time.
We love to read books. Seriously. Have you figured that out yet?
Even Kathryn is figuring it out rather early.
When we're not reading books and the wind is NOT blowing 50 miles an hour, we also like to fish in the evenings. We've not caught anything yet this year but no one seems to mind.
If it were possible to smother an animal to death with affection this horse would be a goner.
Happy spring everyone! Pretty sure that's not a 'thing', but I just made it one.

Just like mama said... If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
