lately

That there picture was taken right out my (dirty) kitchen window!

Right before I ran out brandishing a broom. 

(not my good one, of course)

I'm still not sure if I'm glad the blasted coyote ran off when he heard me coming or not.

I mean,

I really wanted to hit him!

But I wasn't too thrilled with the thought he might just snatch my broom

and come after me.

Fortunately, my chicken survived his attack

with just the loss of a bunch of fluffy butt feathers.

Friday was supposed to be date night,

but we had to cancel due to sickness in the ranks.

Poor Lex' is our most recently fallen.

I am really hoping I don't get sick, 'cause it's my week with Gramma.

Green!!

Every day, there is more and more green outside,

and lots of ground-flowers are blooming.

Whew! 

It's been a long winter.

I'm going to have to get Tyler's quilt finished up pretty quick-like;

it's going to be too hot to work under it before ya know it.

Speaking of quilts ~ I got my new book Saturday, and started reading it yesterday.

I like it every bit as much as I expected I would.

It's not exactly going to be a quick project though.

And I really sort of wanted a quick project 

for when I finish this one.

Hmmmm....

We have been averaging 1 1/2 dozen eggs a day.

During the winter!

I calculated that if we had sold, for $2.50 a doz, 

all the eggs we've given away in the past few weeks,

 it would have paid for the feed.

(I'm not entirely sure what to do with that.)

That man I married?

I like him a lot.
