Just another day !

MJ on Fox 13 said it was going to be a nice day.....she lied !! It rained nearly all day which means that I had a bad hair day all day. By 9am, I'd given up and knew that in the beauty stakes I'd probably come a slow second to Godzilla. Things weren't helped along when we noticed that Lamb Chop had a really bad case of Delhi Belly and needed a clean up. Being a trusting sort of little lamb he let us blackmail him (I love peanuts) into the barn kitchen where the unsuspecting and very smelly little critter was dunked in the sink and subsequently clipped, his back legs, his rump, his tail and his scrotum. Poor Lamb Chop, next he got dosed with Peptobismal before being returned to the flock in all his shaven glory. Just finished cleaning me up after cleaning Lamb Chop (yuk) and Ashley (our neighbours daughter) appeared through the rain drops to let us know that a big tree had fallen and blocked the road( DOH !!! why can't that sort of thing happen on a nice day ?) Another neighbour needed to get out to an appointment so Greg and I did our Superman (men) impression, armed with chainsaws we set off to clear the road. Other people go to the Mall shopping, we chop trees up ! Still raining. In an effort to try a dry occupation I opted to clear out the greenhouse ready for the tomato plants which were threatening to burst out of their plantpots. Not a good idea,... the entire spider population of Western Washington appeared to have taken up residence over the Winter ( ..and I hate spiders !!) . The final straw was when I put my head through a web and an ENORMOUS bulbous 8 legged spider dangled in front of my eye. I was less than impressed, end of greenhouse experience, exit stage left, very quickly. And still it rained. We went to a very enjoyable Farm meeting (in the rain !) I had a couple of glasses of wine and woke up this morning with a headache....there is no justice. Oh well, time to go again. Take care. M
