Puddle Jumping

Someone is making the best of the rainy day.

We went to the barn to see the sheep and get out of the house. Jade is the only sheep who will approach a little person without the bribe of a bucket of grain.

I stood under the roof and out of the rain and watched Kirby...

...run back and forth.

Contemplating the Really Big Puddle.

The sheep weren't thrilled about all this activity by the little pink person.

By the time we got back to the house I figured that a little more water really didn't matter. So Kirby ran through the lake that was our driveway until she'd had enough. Tonight it is still raining.

More Grandkid Photos

I've been so focused on #1 family visiting and #2 trying to get my new website up that I haven't done much else. I did have a request for more cute grandkid photos though and since cute lambs haven't arrived yet, here they are. (Not that I'd show cute lamb photos to the exclusion of cute grandkid photos. I'd just have to fit both in.)

Here is what greeted me on Valentines's Day.

We planted them together.

For the first several days of Kirby's visit the sun was out and things started to dry out.

We were still wearing boots to the barn, but didn't have to tromp through as much mud.

Aunt Meryl manages a gymnastics club and there is an Open Gym hour on Wednesdays, in addition to a Wednesday morning Mommy and Me class.

Kirby went to both and loved it.

Gathering eggs from the chicken house.

It's best if she carries just one.

It started raining again so there were puddles.

Not to forget that there is another grandchild visiting. He just doesn't spend as much time at the barn.

Visiting Texas

I haven't been to Texas since last year, but that's because we saw my granddaughter several times last winter and spring in California. It was time for me to see her again and to do that I had to travel east. She is now two.

While Mommy painted the shed we went for a walk.

Time to take off the shoes.

The low water crossing on the road.

What better place to play on a hot day.

Hugging Colby.

Yesterday we went to the Comal County Fair.

This morning I said that we'd go for a walk in the rain. Kirby started to pack. You never know when you'll need a stuffed llama, a cup of milk, or a bunch of books.

It had rained enough during the early morning hours that the water had risen too high for playing.

We turned and walked up the road the other way.

Well, one of us walked and the other rode most of the way.
