What happens when I am sleepless in Stanwood.

Rain!!!!
need I say more?
Just what I do not need!
So When I could not sleep last night ( 2 am ) I did some art.....

I also owe one wonderful hubby an apology for being growlie last night........I should have called him back but he seemed so very tired.....We both are.....
And yet I did not act well....
I should have been a better wife.....
And so my love I am VERY SORRY......I know you are so tired and I should have been a nicer girl.......
You are an amazing husband, working ten hour days and I SHOULD have been far more understanding...Please for give me... Could you?

Now for what I did as I was stressing for being a terrible wife, what I created out of my sorrow for MY BAD BEHAVIOR....

Half the Week

I have been up for at least 30 minutes and the birds are singing ( annoying at this hour) Buluga is out under a tree in the freshly mowed yard.....And I ? Well lets put it this way I am so tired I am thinking about going back to bed after hubby morning call..... This would be a treat but unlikely as I rarely am able to return to sleep.....And those damn birds whistling and singing ( as bad as a DJ on the radio) See I am tired as my miss cranky panties are showing....The ferrier was here yesterday and trimmed Jezzy's feet and he said that they looked really good, much better than several weeks ago.. Well I know that I have a long list of things that have to be done.....Painting the strips for garden shed, over a hundred pieces as well as some final corners inside.....So off I go, it is to be warm again around 70 degrees....

The sun is coming!

I awake , sorta and stumble through the new ritual of coffee making a skill that I am working on mastering....Water not warm enough then too hot...The grounds too yadda yadda....
The news screams sun....I rarely watch the news....Only for the weather so I might plan the day around it. I see that the next ten days are to be fab!!!! I also know I will not have to turn the TV to the awful news for at least that long.... My hubby watches it all the time... Makes me crazy...

So this means that I will be able to finish the paint on the garden shed....Get it dried out a bit and then paint the rafters. All is well when it is dry. I got home just in time to mow...It took just over three hours to get it done. Buluga has resigned herself to the fact that the large John Deere will not eat her or get near her although she had one eye always on it...Yesterday was the 1st time I even tried to leave her out while I fought the huge yard....I also decided that when we plant again that we should keep the plant/shrubs at least the width of mower away from the fences and the same between plants......so that task did not roll over to today's long list of to-do's..... A list that unlike hubby I try not to get too large ....hahaha like it is not long enough already. I know that if the doctor would give me speed it would help....Do they even call it SPEED anymore....? I just wish I had unlimited energy....I will spend every last moment of daylight doing as much as possible outside.....So I gotta go....Be well enjoy the day and remember that the sun will not stay here long and you will hear from this farm fairy sometime soon....

COFFEE?

Now I thought I might update all you on the dillemma of the coffee pot....It is still broken....it sits empty on the counter... You might be wondering if that is the reason I have slacked on blog....No, sadly it is not the reason....That I could control if I had to....The reason is that it is raining except for one day .... there is just so much to do...paint, stain, dishes, laundry, sweeping and drying out wet things in general as well as trying to get ready for house guest ( possibly) and making sure that all the plants are well...repotting a wisteria for a friend ( Steve) and then planting some more spinach... there is more but it is just they daily stuff....horses, alpacas, chicken and such...My birthday went all weekend with hubby putting togather bbq with a handful of friends and then to the great Thai place for supper on Friday night.....hubby then left late past 4pm to the otherside...which is the sunny side of Washington.....He then stayed at Steves last night......Mr. Bondo has had his own crazy weekend with his daughter's grad and house guest Trixie.... And my wayward hubby coming and going...and still the coffee saga resulted in going downstairs to the other kitchen and hunting up the thing that holds a filter with grounds that you pour boiling water in and you are able to make a SINGLE CUP at a time..I love early mornings I am just really kinda unstable, tripping, growlie ect.....so I fight the microwave as turning on gas and boiling water seems a little risky...wala.. one cup of java.....well I am going to Edmonds to work and then will return in time for the noightly feeding of the kingdom

how time flies
