Saturday Randoms
It is Saturday....nearly Sunday and also Easter. My last few days have involved snow, rain, mud, water, muck, and so on. All that snow melted of course. It rained last night. Our sump continues to run and kick on every 5 minutes. We were without power for nearly 48 hours but thankfully our generator kept going giving us heat, lights, internet, television and a powered sump pump. You know, all the essential things you truly need and/or miss when the electric is out.
Yesterday was my birthday. And just like every other birthday I have had since I turned 30, boring. Because once you turn 30, things start to head downhill and no one really cares anymore. At least I don't! But Yooper tells me I am aging like a fine wine. Gonna be one helluva expensive wine I tell ya!
My kids love birthdays and spoil me all day long. Breakfast in bed, hugs, letting me know what a nice mom I am which leaves me wondering.... WHAT DO THEY WANT?
So here are few random happenings in my life right now.
- Mini Me made some bunny ears for Edgar. He wears them well, actually looks like Peter Cottontail.
- We found a dead calf yesterday and it remains a mystery of how it happened. All I can say is I hate being the one to drag its lifeless body away from all the cows, especially its mama. And that folks is life on the farm.
- And speaking of death. I know, go ahead mouse click the red box right now! Hope killed another innocent, wild bunny rabbit the other day. I was none to happy about that. Horrified in fact. Sad. Now the kids wonder if the Easter Rabbit will make it here tomorrow.
- Gas prices went up again today. Sorry to remind you.
- Our renovated room is done! Done I tell you! Done! I love it. Some day I will share more pictures of how we got to this point. Long, long process.
- My birthday was yesterday. Did I mention that already? In roughly two years I will be 40. And I am gonna party like a rock star when that happens. And NOT go hide in my closet, sucking my thumb and nursing a bottle of wine.
- In less than a month my first horse will turn 36 years old. Such a sweet old girl!
- We have a cat that is 21 years old. Yes, welcome to my geriatric world.
- I was featured on this website recently. Yes, that is me.....and Ruby!Another website I love is featuring me this week and I am sooo excited!
Well, Happy Birthday - and many, many more! Your sweet kids know how to treat their mom - even though B-days aren't a big deal to you, they feel it should be a very special day!
Happy Birthday you young thing!
Rabbits multiply fast so I am sure there will be many to replace the one that Hope creamed..just honing her skills as a bird/rabbit dog.
Happy Easter to you all:)
Happy Birthday! I'm glad you were spoiled and hopefully Spring will arrive and STAY.
Glad you posted something about your horse. I was wondering about the old gal. Happy Birthday, late, and Happy Easter...hopfully no more dead bunnies!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 38 is only the beginning you won't start getting up to speed until 62 , I know from personnel experience. No time to rest this geriatric Mom has 20 four legged kids to tend to.
Tell Hope "no more bun-buns" and good luck with *that*
Happy Birthday! So glad your kids want to spoil you. Keep on accepting those compliments from your husband. I enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing.
I cried about 40 but now it's not so bad - really. Love that you have a 21 year old cat - we had one live to 22 (I won't mention the fact that he was losing hair and stroking out in that last year....lol)
Happy Belated Birthday dear friend...I am so glad you are happy in spirit and hope to meet you in person some time this year!!!
