cold and windy and down one cat...

-

 This morning the wind is blowing quite intensely, and the temps are much cooler than yesterday. The smoke is not as intense as it was with the wind coming out of the Northwest this morning. I have spent most of the morning trying to find a contractor to install some security doors to help deter any more visits that are uninvited. So far not much interest in the job.

I do not like the cold. Neither do the cats, well maybe one cat does; Stitch was near the house most of the evening until he wasn't. This morning he still remains on the lam. Stitch has not adjusted well to the move, nor to the addition of Athena into the group. I think sometimes he would like both Blue and Athena to just disappear... wait maybe those are my thoughts.

I find it weird that anyone just randomly decided to break into our home, and it would seem that there was no other reason than just to break in. Not sure what scared them off. Maybe the car in the garage and thinking they picked the wrong house? I guess I will never know.



On with the day. The youngest made a bowl cozy at school. Not bad for her first time using a machine to sew! She has been sick, so our plans have had to change in regard to her illness. I really don't want to clean vomit from a car interior.

Well, the household is starting to come alive with noise and the pitter patter of little feet has been replaced with the sound of elephants running in the attic. My they grow up so fast! 

I had intended to plant some things this weekend, but plans change... sometimes like the wind.


With that I will close and get some food ready for the circus characters and get on with our day.

 Hello June, it promised to be a busy month, and it has been. It started with court on the 3rd of the month. We haven't heard anything in regard to that. The 6th of the month brought the teen and I to Arlington Texas for a concert of her choosing. We had a good time and a rapid round trip.  getting ready for concert waiting for the rest of the crowd the young mom that we hung out with on the bus one of the posters she made that we had to toss she planned to take her favorite water cup in but didn't The 11th was another trip with a party on the 14th. A great time was had by all. The return trip was better travel time than the get to the party trip. It was sprinkled with not so good things. In Iowa we witnessed and stopped the car fast enough to at least not become part of a semi-truck versus pickup truck accident. People were not very considerate behind us. I barely got over to the shoulder on the right with the collision in the left lane, and the traffic shot up through the mi...

week 3 for one and week 1 for the other

Good morning blog it is the end of the week and homeschooling is in full swing. Both girls are now doing it full time. The older teen is definitely more invested in finishing the work. The younger is still resistive for the most part. However, she is a lot less resistive to this than PS. So, onward we go. Keeping up with the four hours is the hardest part, I forget to write down what we did or maybe I procrastinate and then forget. Either way I have to find the book that was my "tool" to keep track of things, but I have buried it under something. I got up early to pack coolers for the trip to Oklahoma and have been running in circles since. DH had planned to head out by himself and with some of the forgetfulness that has occurred this week it was not what I wanted to happen. In the end he left with the boys following him in the Audi.  I will take care of the animals and kids and try to get done what needs to be done in the meantime. There was a lot more room in the horse trai...

Only one week left of June

-
 One week left and still so many things on the schedule. Today we picked up the items that DH purchased at the auction. The kids really enjoyed the gator-type vehicle that he purchased. They each got to drive it around the yard. They both did a surprisingly good job for the first time on such a vehicle. The weather today was especially nice, not too hot and not too cold. The baby goose is getting her feathers in quite nicely and will soon be ready to release to a group of her own kind. In the wild she would remain with her parents for more than a year. She may be able to find a flock and fit right in if she can fly and join them sooner rather than later.  I had to cancel two appointments for, today to accommodate the vehicle pick up and the new teen's mission to adopt a reptile. Mission accomplished after four choice changes in the store. Instead of a Pac-Man frog, or an Anole, or a Bahama Anole, she came home with a Leopard Gecko. Hoping I got the reptile names correct, pleas...
