Breezy Does it Again
Breezy has done it again, beating everyone to the punch. Yesterday, February 10, she popped out a set of triplets in record time. They are the first babies of the year and just as cute as a button. All healthy and doing well: the little girl weighed 2.75 pounds when she was born, but by the time she was two hours old she weighed 3.25 pounds. How did she do it? Milk milk milk! It does a baby body good!

Encore il pleut...
...la plus la meme chose. Yes, we have that deja view from the barn. Still raining. We can't go out. The tiny creek below the farm has turned into a lake. The farmer is making the pregnant ladies do laps around the tack room, they have been sitting around so long with no exercise.

Not to worry...
...That strange yellow ball has disappeared from the sky. It is raining again, but the weather reports say we will only get an inch or so of rain today. So it's pretty nice.

How Odd...
Something very strange and peculiar has happened. The rain has stopped falling from the sky. The sky is not completely gray any more. And there is this yellow ball, a big bright round thing, high up there. Weird, weird, weird. I'm sure the farmer will tell us what's going on...

Top Ten Reasons Why Today is a Really Nice Day in the Northwest
10. Right this minute at the farm, it is only raining steadily, rather than pouring
9. Around 9 a.m., we saw a tiny crack of sky that was off-gray instead of completely solid gray. I know, we should have taken a picture, but it passed so quickly there wasn't time
8. We haven't broken the all-time rainy day record yet - heck no, we are only on day 25 in a row
7. The trench the farmer dug yesterday is still carrying some of the rainwater away, so the mud in the barnyard hasn't swallowed any baby goats or sucked anyone's boots off (yet) today
6. The grass will be so green this spring!
5. The horses have left their run-in and are actually grazing. Woops, they went back in. Oh well.
4. The quacking of all the ducks who decided not to go south (why bother, there is a new lake right here) is so soothing.
3. Whatever happens, Mike Brown isn't head of FEMA any more
2. We are still getting room service from the farmer
and the Number One reason why it's a really nice day here in the Puget Sound region:
1. We aren't all standing on the barn roof, waiting for a helicopter!
