Lately (a brief recap)

Things have been hectic and I have been busy. Ah... let's call it what it is. I've been tired. Do I look it?

Last week I brought my mother to my home to visit with us. (And we are *loving* it!)

Tuesday night we had a tornado come through our town. Matter of fact, that twister went right through our property. I kid you not.
We were without power for a couple of days. Then, as luck would have it, the power was restored soon after we purchased and hooked up a generator. (But let me tell you, we are ready for spring storm season. We do still need to clean up a few downed trees. One of them is laying on the electric fencing. But, for the most part, we were unscathed by the storm. One street over is disaster with missing outbuildings, roofs that were ripped off the home and a silo that was thrown across the road. I kid you not. It was close.
In the end, this has been one exciting adventure. We cooked on the coleman grill and kept our foods cold by ice. It was all very primitive. The boys were playing in their bedroom trying to squeeze in as much play as they could before it was too dark. I just had to take the picture.

And then, as if I didn't have enough going on already, I bought two new babies. They are 5 day old and 3 day old lambs. Their names are Pearl (white) and Lucy (black). They are the cutest freaking things you have ever seen!
