A Down Comforter

Elizabeth and I have been taking turns being sick the last several days; yesterday we ventured into town so she could have some ballet photos taken and then we visited the thrift store where I found Jonathan a wonderful down comforter.I washed it today in the washing machine; even though the tags says to "dry clean only".

It flapped all day in the sunshine and wind and now smells good and feels very fluffy. I am very pleased with my $4 bargain!

Early Morning Surprise

Today as Pat was opening the chickens he found this wonderful treasure.

I had suspected the hens were laying but this is the first egg to be found. Elizabeth and I went out and hunted for more but so far we have not been able to find the main nest.

Sunday Drive

Today the kids and I decided to take a drive; the destination was White River.

It had been more than 20 years since I visited this place. We brought a lunch so we could have a picnic but it was too chilly.

Elizabeth played for few minutes at one of the small playgrounds.

We had wanted to walk along the water but it was virtually impossible to reach any water, let alone see the water up close. The only good view of the lake was from the dam.

The lady at the lake office/grocery/cafe said there was a small beach area but this was all we found; a dry area overgrown with brush.

We were also told there was wildlife such as deer and wild hog; but the only wildlife we saw was on the side of the road as we left.

It was nice going for a drive but I sure wish we could have walked near the water and tossed rocks.
