Yesterday, I knew it was Spring for sure now; because the meadowlarks are back! It is so lovely to hear them sing. I think it affected us more than we knew. Pat plowed the garden and when he was done I slipped off my flip flops and walked in the dirt and it was really pretty warm. The nights are still dipping quite a bit below freezing, however; so no planting quite yet unless I try peas. I got the front flower bed raked and trimmed down. Next I will need to do the back flower bed where the tulips are coming up thick.
We are going to put a wood stove in the breakfast nook area to help heat the house this next winter. so we had to move Pat's albino deer and case out to the shop for storage and we got that done yesterday, too. Then, that evening we did the elastrator thing on all the little boy lambs. Pat grabs them and I sit in a folding chair and hold them so Pat can put the elastrator band on their testicles, as all of them had dropped their testicles into their scrotums now. They were all very good while I held them and it was amazing how big they had gotten since they had been born! We must have done a good job as none of them laid down and acted in pain when we got done. That always makes me feel better. Because I hate to see my babies in pain!
Now, it's Sabbath and I don't have any functions at church today; so, I am going to play hooky and let my sinuses drain and hack up the drainage when it makes me cough instead of taking cough suppressant and wishing I could curl up in the pew and sleep. It seems to be Spring allergies already! Now, for a little nap after breakfast!
