The Rest of the Week

Well after the crazy weekend and several practically sleepless night because Maddy is teething right now, we were exhausted on Monday. Maddy was supposed to go to therapy but I called and rescheduled because she didn't wake up in time. She slept til 10:3o on Monday which never happens. After she woke up, Tammy, Maddy ,and me packed lunch and headed out the door to go to DBU to eat lunch with Aaron but before we even got anywhere he called and said he was so exhausted he couldn't even function and he was coming home. So we changed our plans and went shoe shopping for Ethan and Jenna's wedding. We both found a pair for us plus a pair for Cindy so it was a success. Aaron took a nap with Maddy and Tam and I went on a walk.
Maddy really enjoyed playing with Aunt Tammy. We both enjoyed having the extra company around during the day.
Monday night we went to Babe's Chicken in Carrollton. It is a yummy place but way too much food. I always come away from there feeling like a blimp.
After we ate we sat in the little square area they have across the street and Maddy looked at the pretty flowers while we talked.
Tuesday Tricia came and we went on a picnic in the evening. Aaron missed out on that because he was at work. It was a gorgeous evening and great picnicking weather except for the wind. We took a walk on the bike path after we ate and then came home and played scrabble.
Today we had lunch at DBU with Aaron. We did a picnic at some picnic tables on campus. Another beautiful day to be outside.
Tammy's visit sped by and I was very sad to see her go. It seems like there's never quite enough time to do everything you want or talk about everything you want or eat everything you want. :) Probably good there's not enough time for the last one on that list. Now I'm looking forward to June when we'll be able to get together again!

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Raccoons

We've been plagued with the nasty devils this week. We accidentally left dog food on the porch one night. Fortunately, Aaron saw the raccoon sneaking a snack before he headed to bed. We chased it off but woke up to find one of our chickens had been it's victim. I have been super careful to make sure no food has been left out but the raccoon has been back. I heard a terrible confrontation in the woods on Tuesday night between a raccoon and SOMETHING in the woods. The SOMETHING whimpered as the raccoon hissed and spit. I hope that whatever the SOMETHING was it is ok. It sounded like a dog so I am wondering if it was a coyote vs. raccoon showdown. One of our cats stays out all the time and I thought at first it was her. I was out banging a bucket with a stick and yelling trying to get the raccoon to leave. Turns out the cat was on the deck cool as a cucumber. We had been letting Whiskers and kittens stay outside as well but now we go through the nightly routine of putting them in ...
