February flying by...

Wedding plans are in full swing now, I received 150 chair covers, Heather's wedding dress, and sparklys in the mail last week. Gina and Nic bought Dakota a beautiful dress for the party, it's white and burgundy, just adorable! I finished the changes to my outfit, and just got everything out of the cleaners yesterday. Whew! I hope everyone received their wedding invites, if not please let me know, I'd be happy to send you one. The reception is at the Shalimar Country club in Tempe, I still need to call them to firm up the last minute details.

I'm working hard to stay well, taking lots of vitamins and immune system boosters. Rosemary is supposed to help, so I'm using Rosemary essential oils every day too. I washed my car on Tues, and I really thought that would ensure that it would rain here, but so far all we have is wind and clouds. At least my car looks good a little longer, but we need rain!!!

The chickens are doing well, I got 8 eggs yesterday. That's the most we've had all winter; usually it's 4-6 a day. We built a new dog run in the side yard, and moved the front fence off the patio, so it's easier to walk right up to the front of the house. It also keeps the chickens off the patio, so no more poo on the porch :) The dogs seem really happy in their new digs, and the boys bought a nice handmade wooden dog house for them. They even use it occasionally! Our dogs would never lay in a dog house, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm really, really happy to have my back yard available again. I haven't used it much for the past year, because the dogs were always back there, jumping on my, and digging up my plants. Now I can get it cleaned up and replant my pots, roses, etc. Happy Days!
