Wonderful Weather

Well, Today was one of those days that made you LOVE that you live in the Ozarks!

Absolutely gorgeous!

One can't help but be happy on a day like this!

Perfect temperature to wear a full length dress with sandals and at dusk throw a sweater over your shoulders.

Everyone was happy today. Jacob is laughing his head off... just for the heck of it and making us laugh with him.

Miranda had fun running around with the cats and Robert helped break a big round bale to kick off our first crop of the season (when he wasn't playing with his sling shot). He is out watering for Bob right now as Bob is flipping it over with the skid steer.

Today Bob spent the day first getting a couple of big rounds from a local farmer/rancher - we got some stuff that isn't sprayed - Go organic! and then he went to work at our neighbors helping them get a shed built to put in a woodworking shop. He came home with a big smile.

Nemo is here next to me right now. Ever since the ice storm he has enjoyed coming in to sleep in the mud room. I have to admit I really like having his company... as long as he doesn't decide to lift his leg (eye roll). I think I need to get him in the tub and trim up the groom job I did on him. Tea Tree and Lavender Oil can only do so much. When I get him done up (with a bow or a kerchief) I'll have to post a pic. He is such a cutie! I think I need to get the kids desks out of here and bring in the recliner so I can spend some cozy time with him.... maybe even bring in a radio and turn this into a mommy sanctuary. hmmmm??? Just need a window, some drywall, paint, and my sewing machine and all will be perfect! sigh
