Mr. Fix-It and I had colds. Which we ignored. Because that’s what farmers and busy parents do when they’re sick–they ignore it.
Turns out that was probably not the best course of action.
After nearly 3 weeks of being “under the weather” we were both diagnosed with low-bar pneumonia. Ha! Serves us right, I guess.
After a week of medicine, I think we’re both improving (and back to work) but still a little low in the energy category. That’s hard in Spring, on a farm, but we’re keeping things afloat.
There’s been a lot of this…
And this…
And this…
LOL
Coal is nothing, if not loyal. They call them “velcro dogs” for a reason and he pretty much never left my side. But he’s definitely over it.
And of course, life doesn’t stop just because the Momma and Daddy are sick! So there was some of this…
And this…
And even a little bit of this…
Although not very much. There’s also been a lot of vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping, thanks to all the wet Spring weather. Blah. Not my favorite.
We’re on the upswing, I think. There’s a lot of catching up to do around here. It’s time to be getting the garden in shape. We’ve got some more lambs due. And the kiddos are after me about whether we’re going to get chicks this year or not. (I vote for not, but they don’t like that answer!)
Hopefully their is more green grass in our future as well, and mowing season is just around the corner. Prayers appreciated, but we’d also love to hear what YOU’VE been up to this early Spring so far! (I could use a little motivation!)
