Fickle



This was Sunday, April 25. It was about 70 degrees. We added soil to the raised beds, and put in the peas, since the coldest predicted temps for the week were in the 40s at night, and a nice soaking rain was predicted.



This is today, Wednesday April 28. Those are the raised beds in the foreground.
Hmmm.

Happy Easter

Now that she is a big sister, Winter has had to take on some more mature roles. She is driving, doing chores around the house, and dressing herself.

However, despite her expanded responsibilities, there is still room for fun. She was not old enough to enjoy Easter last year, so she made up for it this year. This is probably the only year that I will be able to get away with eggs that have veggie puffs and raisins in them. Don't worry, though, she got her share of chocolate! She loved looking for the eggs and it was a beautiful day for it despite a stiff breeze that ruined most of my video footage. She was also introduced to Peeps, which she correctly did not identify as a food item- they eventually vanished so I am pretty sure the dog ate them.

Willa is doing well. Just like her sister, she came with a loneliness detection system that knows the second she is put in a baby seat, changing pad, or her bed, and issues an immediate alarm until the situation is corrected. But she is still an easy keeper and is a very sweet girl. Winter seems to have accepted the new way of things and gives Willa far more kisses than swats these days.
