Medium

I took these pictures of Medium last night. She cracks me up when she wants to play. Winston (our Beagle) will fetch a ball and then keep it, Sebastian (lab/chow) will fetch it, bring it back but never give it to you. Medium will not only bring it back but throw it at you and she will do this for hours if you let her!


The journaling says:

There isn’t much that compares to the energy of a Border Collie. All she wants to do is fetch and she doesn’t care what she is fetching! If she can’t find a ball she will bring you what is left of it. This is what she brought me the other night. It is a piece of tennis ball, about the size of a nickel and she will go after that little scrap for hours!

The kit I used was Hearts & Paw Prints by Chris Stone, Font was Cry Kitty, Pea Carrie & Bradley Hand

New Toys

Spring has finally arrived. I was starting to think that maybe we wouldn't get our usual wet spring snow but I was proven wrong (which is typical lately!). The Friday before Easter we started getting some sleety rain that froze my tulips.




By Easter it had changed to snow and we had a very white Easter. It almost felt like we should be putting up a Christmas Tree, not coloring Easter Eggs. The Easter bunny hid eggs in the house this year. Mom, Bunk, Jen and Justin's girlfriend came over. We played pool in the garage (which is a very unorganized, fire hazard)! It was a hoot!







It never really warmed up after that and today it has been very cold and snowy. They are talking about blizzard warnings and everything! We woke up this morning to a very cold house, apparently the furnace croaked during the night so the house has been really cold! We have little room heaters going and electric blankets warming. Hopefully Robin can find the part we need soon!


This week Robin purchased a new 'used' toy: a 1994 travel trailer for camping. We brought it home on Wednesday, I am surprised he didn't sleep in it last night! We are itching to get our stuff moved out of the old one and into the new one, just need some warmer weather. It is like moving out of a shack and into a castle for us. Bryttaney is excited, I think the canvas sides of the old camper didn't maker her feel very secure, so we will see.
