February Recap

February has been a busy month for us. After several more inches of snow we have finally seen our first days of rain this past weekend. I've never been so excited to see rain! Rain makes me happy for two reasons: It's not snow, and it means it's above 32 degrees! Today we had a break in the rain and I saw my first American Robins in a tree. They normally don't arrive until March so I'm crossing my fingers for an early Spring!

Since the temperatures have been so warm (I've found out this term is relative) we finally had the chance to shovel the snow off the back deck, which means my back door is no longer snowed shut!! This in turn allowed us to have our couches delivered; which is good because I'm not sure how much longer I would have been able to sit on papasan chairs!

Early this month we had the opportunity to visit a friends farm. They had just delivered four pygmy goats and the Mr. is trying to convince me that we need one. I really want milking goats though, no more useless animals please. It will be several months before they wean so we have time to decide. While at the farm the girls had a chance to get on a horse and take a few rides around the corral. They both enjoyed this very much, and now StinkerBelle is asking for a horse of her own. Good luck, I've already had to take over the feeding of her cat, which would probably be dead by now if I left her in charge.

We also celebrated two birthdays, The Mr. and Rosey both aged a year this month. Rosey had a great time dancing around to Altered Images "Happy Birthday", which repeated more times then anyone could imagine. Her favorite part of the party was all of the "baddoons"!
