The Wearin' O' the Green...plus a goat for good measure.

We have evil geniuses for pets. Other people call them goats, but I don't. They are so clever in a dastardly way that they made horrendous noises all last night so that when I finally woke up by my alarm this morning I looked out and got a turn because one of them was laying flat on her side and totally not moving. At least two of our does are pregnant and about to kid, so I was kind of worried about her. I went outside and she didn't even move till I was about 15 feet away. They were fine. But they'd managed to get me outside at 7:30 in the morning. So I sat down on the front porch and returned a phone-call to a friend. :D I was glad she hadn't wanted to sleep in this weekend, otherwise it might have been a bit early for her. Oh well. :D

I have so many things I ought to be doing instead of blogging.

Finishing Les Miserables for one...

...making breakfast for another...

...beginning to write back to three friends for a third...

...girding myself up for Saturday church-cleaning...

...memorizing the next chunk of Psalm 33...

...Yeah. I'd better get going! :D....

...this is random, but I really want to see War Horse! I also really want one of the chocolate chess-bars I made for choir on Tuesday...I also want biscuits for breakfast after writing a blog post about them. :D Oh! To close out this post since it is Saint Patrick's Day, check out this phenomenal sign-language guy signing to "The Rocky Road to Dublin" by The High Kings! It's amazing!

Wear green, everyone! :) -Rachel

♫"It might as well be Spring!"♫

We are only a step into March, and the summer activities are already in full swing. We had all the windows open yesterday to let the gorgeous weather in.

 

I was divided all afternoon between buying my nose in Les Miserables and dashing out to the porch to get some of the beauty. There's nothing like a contrast right? The French crime underworld vs. a delicate, beautiful spring day? ;)

On the way home from choir Tuesday, Dad bought us ice-cream cones. I lick my in a swirl, Sarah licks hers up and down...how do you do it?

 

It's slotted to be 85-90 degrees today, as we did yesterday. Crazy. :)

This afternoon Matthew's baseball begins--we are planning on going to this first game--I'm excited! (And no, it is not entirely because I spend the game nick-naming the players....There's Jesse, Peter Pan, the Goatee Man, The Duckling...yeah. :P)

We've been planting and transplanting seedlings for days and weeks now. Soon it'll be time to put them in the ground.

A couple of our goats are due to have kids soon! It is not definite by any means, but we're thinking the Matriarch of the Herd might be having triplets! She's huge.

♫"I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams,
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing.
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing.
But I feel so gay,
In a melancholy way,
That it might as well be spring,
It might as well be spring."♫
