The weekend was pretty prosperous. Hubby needs a motorcycle helmet, so he offered to tote the younger two around for their needs (one is attending prom next month), while I stayed home.
Although two kiddos were out, two were also in. That gave me more dog walkers, so I stocked up on homemade condensed cheddar soup. Two more "cans" made it to the freezer.

Puppy Casualty
I had a nice blog post ready to post, with this photo, but the story quickly changed. Zuri had been sleeping on the new rug, and kind of took it over from the other dogs. It made me smile that she liked the warmth and comfort of it. And the fact she would stay out from under my feet.
However......

Homestead Happenings
As I crocheted and watched the news, was hoping that the weather forecast was wrong (as it is most times). They were right. Well, right on one thing - snow. The weather man kept stating to watch for "thunder snow." I didn't see rain or hear thunder, but the white stuff returned. It's already melting, so I'm not worried. Or should I be? It will be a low 20°F tonight. And more rain. And more snow.
It is nice to see it so bright out today, but by Wednesday it should be gone. It rained for 3-4 days straight before this arrived, so it's a swamp out there (soon to be an ice rink). Good thing I have spikes for my boots too.

Homemade Bagels
We've been having weird weather again. It's cold, cloudy, raining and a few spurts of hail. We do not need more rain, but my garlic loves it.
I was a bit flabbergasted yesterday morning, when I realized I had nothing to blog about (other than the weather). One daughter joked she would do something funny, but sadly got on the school bus and left.
There I was, staring into cyberspace, sucking down strong coffee, attempting to will myself into a long walk on the treadmill, when it hit me - bagels.

Homestead Happenings ~ The Rug is Done!
Our daughter named the one on the left "Dallas." Both Dallas and Jackson are enjoying the grass already. Although this week has been cold, they love it here. Dallas is very friendly, but Jackson is a bit timid yet.
I can tell already they know who "Mom" is as well. As soon as Daughter walks near the barn (where they can see her approaching), they run inside to her. Of course she is the food supplier, so they know. So funny to see them so attached to her already.

Puppy Update
Zuri is not getting much larger in the way of height, but getting muscular. She's very curious of everything around here outside and inside. She has a very particular "stranger danger" bark as well as King. You can't sneak past them without them hearing you. She gets along with the cats, but hasn't quite understood the goats yet. King wants to lick the goats and give them kisses.

Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning. . .
