Ola Peeps ...



More snow overnight... 4 to 6 inches on the ground in my front yard this morning... thankfully it is melting... sun is trying to shine through the clouds...



Was snarling over the snow yesterday... totally pointless... just made myself miserable... giving thanks for the moisture today... the pastures are loving this... me… yeah… not so much… but better attitude today than yesterday… eh… it will melt…

 

Better to shift gears… and go with the flow… than sit and spin in a morass of miserable of my own making…

 

Hey got a cartload of firewood melting off…drying out… yes dripping on my floor in front of the wood stove… it’ll dry… oh… and yes I did knock snow off the wood as I was stacking it on the cart… obviously not all of it…

 

Springtime in Wyoming… in the boonies… snow and mud… rain and mud… psycho winds… bit of dry… pastures explode into shades of bluish greens… meadowlarks singing as snow falls… pheasants calling out… calves and lambs… and goat kids…

 

Litter of kittens look to be doing well… little fuzzies… mama cat growls if you get too close… rather glad she is not any larger than she is… mister rooster didn’t recognize me this morning… wore a red fuzzy robe out to do chores… yes with my snowboots… he is used to the navy blue one… so here he came… full speed across the snow to attack that red stranger…

 

Much to his surprise it was mama… with her walking staff… oops… bad idea… he turned around and skuttled back up the hill to the upper yards… with more than likely… a bruise for his efforts…

 

I am pretty quick at self-defense with that staff… was not out to kill him… just send him back on his way… without having a peck or spur delivered to my legs…

 

Light snow still falling… like a light dusting from a sifter of powdered sugar… as the snow on the ground melts into the warm ground… and the April sun tries to burn through the clouds…

 

Got the truck battery charged… charger still working on the jeep battery… that one was deader than dead… didn’t help that the turn signal was on in the jeep… cats must have landed on it… yes they get in and out of the jeep at will as it has a soft top… first time for this though… usually it is just cleaning the cat hair off of the driver’s seat… so I do not have a total fuzz butt after driving it… hey… could be a new fashion statement… hehehehe….

 

Have the bread machine loaded with yummy ingredients… flour… couple eggs… bit of cornmeal… ground oats… ground flax… and a portion of seeds… pepitas… sunflower seeds… poppy… sesame… hemp… chia… salt… olive oil… hot water… yeast… gonna be a wonderful aroma in here soon… along with the scent of wood burning in the woodstove…

 

Love to slice off a crusty end of the loaf while it is still warm… spread a bit of butter on the soft side… and enjoy… this will be a late afternoon’s indulgence…

 

Cleared some of the snow off the corn pile so it would be easier for the chickens and ducks to chow down… as well as the wild birds… yes we have corn fed pheasants running around here… lol…

 

Hmmmmm…. If that battery doesn’t take a charge by tonight… thinking I’ll pull it and take it in to have it tested … next time I go into town… eh… we’ll see… even if it does take a charge… gonna have it tested… when I take the jeep in… getting her ready for road trippin…

 

Yes I want to set The Betty (white van) up for road trips and camping… but need a new set of tires for her… the ones on her are… well… about done in… so in the meantime… I’m going anyway… may take the sides off the soft top… and enjoy the breezes… and just go zooming … wanna take the bike out too… that is a bit… well… challenging… leg issues… working on it… decided to not wait to live… so going anyway… just … in the jeep… if that won’t go…  may go rattling on in my ole truck… the point is to just do it… embrace the day… live…

 

Embrace the day… rather than waiting… no matter what you’re doing… live…

 

As for now… I am going to go embrace sliding into my ole clawfoot tub… and soak off some of that wonderful Wyoming clay… gotta lavender bath bomb I want to try out… best put another log in the stove to keep it warm in here… then … ahhhhhh…

 

Have some musica playing… bunch of folks line dancing… such fun… yes youtube playing on my tv… switched to a flash mob dancing… love that… getting my wiggle on… come on join in… just a little wiggle… maybe a toe tap or two… mmmm… twist and step… yup… here we go… that wiggle turned into a dance… just a little dance of glee between you and me… and thee…

 

I did go ahead and switch isp’s… so far so good…

 

MowMowTat’s napping on a chair besides me… well until I reach over and tickle her… then it is that “look”…. Hehehehe….

 

Gratitudes… another day… musica… dancing…

 

May you walk in peace…

 

Later Taters…❤❄⛾π…’π… π…Ÿπ†•
