Busy.
Dirt and I had a great trip and visit up north with our good friends.
And we were very successful at Charley’s. The plans are gelling up for the hothouse and plant shed! Fancy plans will be drawn up and we will be getting a permit, ’cause Dirt wanted to make my plant shed a bit bigger than a non-permit shed could be. Ain’t he a thoughtful fella?
.
I came home so well rested that I was sure I could conquer the world, and was about to proceed in that very direction Sunday morning when Janie began her labor.
.
I’m going to let Anna tell the whole story, it might take her a day to get there, but all in all somewhere around noon on Sunday I lost control of the destiny of my well restedness. It all got spent on Janie. And Anna.
.
Why on Anna? Two hours of middle of the night tears spilling out of a clam are very hard on a Mom-body, rested or not. Tears freak me out, they are a bodily fluid you know, a big reason why I couldn’t stay working as a nurse, body fluids draw bad reactions from me. You do know that I am an economy model mother after all, don’t you Dear Reader?!
.
In the end, all is well, well, not Dirt’s pocket book, that is so light I think it floated up over the trees and right on out to sea. But Janie has five live pups, two born Monday at three in the morning and three born at three Monday afternoon.
.
Janie’s career at Anna’s Personal Puppy Mill is over! It was already going to be her last litter as she was about to move on to a whole different stage in life, but now it is over for sure.
.
And now I am going to bed.
.
Not really, I’m headed out to check on seedlings and maybe scoop out a few new pathways but I will avoid anything that takes even just one brain cell, ’cause those stopped working several hours ago, hmmm I was driving though?.
.
You know what I am going to end with, don’t you Dear Reader?
.
God is good all the time, absolutely, in every step and turn in our lives, as He holds together absolutely everything, the wonderful restful days as well as the long long tearful nights.
