Monday's!

Woke to a BEAUTIFUL day today - should get LOTS of snowmelt today! Birds were all in chorus - there were Doves cooing which is just one of the sweetest things ever. There were also bluebirds flitting around, junko's, nuthatches, Stellar's Jays, and more. Yesterday, we had a visit by Trumpeter Swan's!! So, anyway, was enjoying the morning & when the boss needed some info from Jeff, I decided to take my bowl of ceral & walk down to the barn to get him. Took like 10 steps out the door & fell on my butt! The snow melted on top enough yesterday, to refreeze as a snow base, with a skating rink top. I slid down the hill on my back about 10', and then couldn't get my feet under me to stand up! But.. I DID save my cereal!

When I finally was able to stand up, I promptly fell AGAIN - hard - and hit my head too. AND.. this time I had soggy Grape Nuts dripping off my chin, soaking my shirt & sticking ot my pants. Crawled over to a bare spot & the dog helped me get up. Was able to get down the rest of the hill without walking on snow, but had to have Jeff haul me back to the house in the gator. And, of course, had to suffer his amusement at the Grape Nuts. Now I'm sore all over!

On the upside - we had a GREAT day in town yesterday. I got a vacuum! Now I don't have to try & vac with the end of the shop vac hose - which does NOT work, btw. We got to eat Pizza (although I let the guys pic and the Taco pizza just didn't do a lot for me) and went to the bookstore and just general errands. Jeff & Ben's big purchases were a pair of pants each and a book each.

Probably won't get to town again any time soon (can't afford it, if nothing else!) although I'm concerned I may need to take Josie to the vet. I'm pretty sure she's getting another bladder infection. What is WITH that?

Anyway, that's my exciting update! Happy Monday to everyone!!
