Leap Year

We get an extra day this month! Which is really nice considering this year is flying by fast! Papa's birthday is the 28th, really close! People born on February 29th, technically only get a Birthday every 4 years. How many folks even know why we have leap year and add an extra day? It's kind of interesting how it works. I added the link, check it out.

The peeps are having a hard time this year, we've lost a few. It's so super cold.... a simple breeze from opening the door around here makes you feel like frost is in the air. Mind you the sun is staying out later and later every day.. It has to be warming up a little bit, the bulbs are starting to pop up and you can almost see colors.

This high wind and horrible rain at night is getting so old. My house is pretty heavy and doesn't usually move in the wind. Lately, it's been rocking and making me wonder if I have gone a float. Check outside every now and again and wonder if this is how Noah felt when the rains came for 40 days and 40 nights.

We finally had a few nice days and the weather controllers, went up in planes, dropping capsules in the clouds to make it rain again? Like we really needed it. I'm so hoping for a long dry summer. I can't wait to open the windows and doors and let the fresh air in. The house is always so stagnant after winter. And dang it, it's cold!

2 more weeks!! I have to go in for more X rays and see the doctor here in 2 weeks.... And hopefully all my fractured and broken bones will be healed, without too many complications. So I can get the green light from my doctor to start riding again. Just in time for summer. I just need to find a new/old truck, so I have something to pull the horse trailer.

So if you know of any one selling an old reliable truck let me know.
Well, I have a lot to do before the end of the month. Thankfully I have this extra day to do it.

Stay dry!

Spring Things

The baby Peeps arrived this morning!
We have a lot of names to come up with.

There are several different kinds including one
Blue Ameracauna {Like Miss Minx} And it looks like a couple others are unique in colors. Plus, I think we got one with a fuzzy head. LOL.
In any case, they are all supposed to lay a variety of colored eggs, from a deep green, olive green, different blues and brown to a pink!


Now

Meet Rachael the Lamb. 
She's a year old this spring. The first born lamb, last year. Her mom only had enough patience for one baby, so Rachael's twin brother stayed with Mom and Rachael came to me. She was pretty tiny.

To the left side of the fence is Joey and Phoebe, my twin Nubian Goats. They will be 2 years in August. They came to me when they were not even 24 hours old. 

This is Rachael trying to get Joey's attention.

Rachael the Bucking Lamb!
