cold and wet

grooming Hobbit, he is a mess every week with all the mud

It's been a wet winter, which is good I guess.  I know California, the state, wishes we would send some their way as they have had a drought.  It makes the barn a muddy mess.

Today Ziva went to the spa.  Now she "looks like a little lamb" says Hannah.

Tonight Grace taught FHE.  We talked about some of the Saviors miracles during his earthly ministry.

her trot is coming right along

On Saturday Lu, R and I went to Lowes and BJ's.  While at BJ's we watched a demonstration for an all organic cleaning product and won, as a result of the accompanying raffle, a $50 gift card.  We bought the product.  Grace has been anxious to try it out and has been repeatedly asking.  For our FHE activity R and E were assigned to walk the dogs, H was assigned to clean up the kitchen and Lu and I were assigned to try out "Whip It" in the bathroom.  I have to say it did clean well.  She was kneeling by the potty cleaning it up and said "Woah, this $120 value that we got for just $29.99 really is worth it, don't you think it cleans well mom?"  I did.  It worked especially well with all the good elbow grease she was applying and we had a good time cleaning up together and commenting on how the bathroom now smelt like a "Florida afternoon" one of the sales pitch lines!

the barn is so peaceful and pretty even in the winter
