Life before 2008 27 Dec 2005 02:03 pm
Happy Birthday to our new baby!
Haa haaaa…no, we aren’t pregnant!
But a birth has occured…Elicoricity has had it’s beginning today. The website will soon be up and David will be open for the business of selling licorice, one of his favorite things! Much fun will be had and maybe a little money too!
It’s been a good day. The chickens made pinecone bird feeders for our feathered friends, and we had two new ones today! A purple finch and a Tufted Titmouse! It’s sooo much fun discovering all these little chatterers and to be rewarded for our feeding efforts by the crowd that visits daily.
We got leaves raked and some work done preparing the ground in the garden. Got very happy news in the mail that our friends, the Boyds, are execting young’un number two after much waiting! Congratulations!!!!!! We are so very happy for them! The Stevenson children are getting so BIG, the Van Dyk kiddos quite kissable and delicous looking, the Smith crew grows smaller as they out they go….I love all my christmas cards and thier photos and the annual updates they bring. Truly, one of my very favorite things of the year.
Speaking of years…I’ve got a calendar for 2006 to select, some introspection to do about this crazy year we just had, and some big dreaming and planning to do with the one before us! My friend Sarah has reminded me it’s time to be thinking about new things to read and I was inspired by Jeanette’s blog to add new titles to my netflix queue. There’s a garden to plan and a year’s worth of pictures to scrapbook. May the pond that is my life never grow stagnant.
