The weather front came whipping through our area yesterday like a pack of dinosaurs in a china shop. And it was cold. Very Cold. I was worried about the chickens, so I wrapped tarps around the rooster condo and put up the feed bags over the windows to keep the cold off them as much as possible. The ladies are now pumping out around two dozen eggs per week, and I don't want to lose one of them.
Senior is working a new job, and with the kids gone to school all day, this week has been quiet around the estate. I also got my prize from my girl Sandy-- I LOVE IT!
Today, the mailbox found birthday cards for me from the Florida family. This is the month of births in my family. We have five of them withen a two week period. Yes it is like Christmas all over again.
My sister fortunately intercepted the card from my mother and included it with hers in a larger envelope, When I opened it and looked at what my mother was sending, I felt a bit of sadness for it showed a person who is deep in the throngs of mental issues: The envelope had my address scratched out several times and rewritten again and again, stickers, and stamps decorated the front and back side. . Inside was stuffed with all sorts of items that she collected around the house. But, it showed her love and caring for me, and I will cherish it always.
With today being "Valentines Eve" and tomorrow the day I dread all year- I am in the mood for a little "Habanera" from Carmen. Oh, and enchiladas, all messy and scooped up with nacho chips. And perhaps an adult beverage or two.
Have a Happy Valentines Day Everyone!.. and remember: you don't need one day to say " I LOVE YOU" you should do it every day.
