Hooray for 3 day weekends. Here's some highlights
Friday I spent most of the day at home working on redoing our business website...it isn't done yet, but I'm close. In the middle of the day I went to Boulder for a leadership seminar for managers and had a blast (seriously, I really liked it!) Then back home for more fighting with dreamweaver. Back down to Boulder in the evening to catch the X-men III movie with Michael and John and Kate. 4 eggs.
Saturday I went to an alpaca organization meeting in the morning and then spent three hours in the afternoon with Michael weeding the garden and then transplanting the pumpkins, okra, and cukes. We have a tremendous amount of volunteer dill...which is perfect since we have three pickling cucumber plants (dill pickles!). Later this summer, I'll have to get some books on pickling...I've never done it before. 4 eggs.
Today was a big adventure day. We started out with worming the two female llamas. We purchased these two girls in a semi-rescue situation. They weren't abused, but had been neglected. We've done a lot of work in the year and a half we've had them getting to trust us. I can now catch and halter Aquirius on my own! Merle, is another story. Poor Merle is a 400+ pound scardey cat. Any time we get her in a small enclosure, she starts trembling and shaking. We did an amazing job of teamwork today and really worked slowly and gently and she even stood still while I stroked her neck! Major success.
After llama wrangling, we decided to tackle the weeds that were growing along the side of the patio and driveway. These weeds had gotten a bit out of control and we had a ton of thistle that had grown 2 to 3 feet high. Michael used the short-handled pruners, and I used the long-handled loppers used for small tree branches. At one point, Michael said to me "Mrs. Biglopper, I need your help over here". So I came over to this particular monster weed and told it "Hello, I'm Mrs. Biglopper, and I'm gonna smash your ass." And I did.
And the final joy of the weekend...I made a vegetable and tofu thai green curry for dinner. And now everytime I go outside and come back in, the house smells like a delicious thai food restaurant. I'm going to have to make this a lot more frequently!
Oh, and 5 eggs today.
