Busy Weekend

We knew there was some rain coming but God sure painted a pretty sky before it arrived.

Friday night was pretty cool when I took Alexis, Jillian, and Zach, to the little ice skating spot at the Court Square in Helena for a few spins around the rink.  Beans (Jillian) had a little problem staying on her feet but the Chick (Alexis) below, seemed to get the hang of it pretty quick.

 We awoke to a little rain on Saturday morning but didn't have much on the drive to Little Rock. It turned out to be a cloudy but nice day.

The girls spent the night and on Saturday we got up early and drove to see 2 other of our girls, Jaylen and Jordan.  We had fun laughing at their boxers who thought there might be a bite of Rice Krispy treats to be had.

Jaylen's happy, smiley, face!  All of our girls are such cuties (and I'm not a bit biased).

I stopped a couple of times on the way home from Little Rock to get a few shots of the gorgeous Canadian geese that were landing in the harvested rice fields to feed.  We get loads of Snow geese but not so many Canadian geese the past few years. 

That was pretty much our weekend. Family, fun, and food. Can't beat it!

Weekend at a Glance

Sunday Sundown

On it's easterly circle, the end gun on the irrigation pivot reaches the edge of my yard. The girls took advantage of a cool shower yesterday.

Abby, playing possum Friday night.

The Glare. Nanaw was in the way of her TV viewing.

A Memory of Snow

There's nary a spot of snow left now. The temps got up to 46 or so yesterday so most of it melted then, but today it's supposed to be above 60 so even if some of it hid in the shadows, it'll be gone for sure today. The kids sure did have fun playing in it late Friday and all day Saturday, it's not often that we get enough of that white stuff to play in.

Jerri bundled up The Chick and Jilly Beans on Friday when it really started coming down and sticking. They played until almost dark and then she brought them in for baths and hot chocolate. Beans was out of the tub first, Jerri dressed her in pjs, and told her to watch cartoons until The Chick was ready to be dried. Five minutes later she went to check on the Beans and couldn't find her. She looked out the patio doors and there she was, making snow angels with bare feet and pjs on. She'd escaped again!

I'll be posting photos of all the snow doings as I'm able. Jerri took some great ones too so I'll also post some of her shots.

Maybe Mother Nature has decided that we need a little Spring now. Maybe...

The tech dude is supposed to be here tomorrow to fix my satellite connection. I sure hope he does because I've got a tax return ready to be transmitted and loads of updates to download before that.

I've been in my little office this morning rearranging the junk and dusting the spots that aren't loaded down with stuff. I've got so much stuff going that there are still little stacks everywhere. I wish Martha S. would come by for a cup of coffee, I'd put her to work organizing all my things!

I just put a chicken in the oven to roast and already the wonderful aroma of rosemary is wafting through the air. It almost makes me forget about the aroma of axle grease coming from these air wrenchs and JD 9.6 volt light sitting here on the table which James was supposed to have put back in his truck about 3 days ago. He and Jeffrey were busy all weekend building a martin house (that the sparrows are already trying to move into), I reckon he'll remember these tools if he needs them when he gets to work.

I've been getting around to a few blogs as this laptop connection has let me, if I haven't visited in awhile I'll be by as soon as I can.

Better get some more stuff done around here, Zach has a ballgame tonight so it'll be a bit rushed around here after that school bus comes. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
