Have I been? Under the weather. By way of quick update all of our does have kidded over the past week. We had twins on Wed, triplets (!) on Thursday, and a single on Friday. Whew! What a week. They are all up and outside, bouncing around like they do.

Allen and Moira ran a 10 and 5k respectively on Saturday morning. Moira came in 3rd for her age group and Allen was first for his! They were both pleased. It was an especially good morale boost for Moira since it was only her second race.

We took the crazy cow to the auction this weekend. Nothing seemed to work with her. She has gone under, over and through everything we have attempted to contain her inside. I share this so you know that homestead projects don’t always go as planned. You prepare, you follow directions, you seek advice from oldtimers. And sometimes they tell you, “Some are like that. Sell her.” So we did. We kept the bull calf. He has been a sweetie since the day he arrived. We are hoping he remains so. If not, we know the way to the auction. This is all about trial and error. You win some and you lose some. It is a great life. It is not one of ease though.

Otherwise, we are working on finishing up some deep cleaning projects which are never a once and for all event, are they? I have some new fabric here I would like to make up into a skirt for Tess. All the preschool stuff needs to be reboxed and moved around to marry the craft area with the rest of the school room.

Sooo, it’s all that. : ) All that and a bout of bronchitis that has set in and not let go. But, it can’t last forever right? I am hanging onto that light at the end of the tunnel. And yes, I know what they say about those…
