I took Ellie in for testing on Friday. CERF & OFA. Both vets reported normal findings, so we're good to go on the breeding. I'll be comparing Beau & Clancy next week, to decide who the lucky dad's going to be. We expect to breed in June.
Next trip coming up is Aspen for a couple of nights. We're taking all the kids and 3 dogs, probably Ellie and Woody will stay home, because I expect Ellie to be in heat by then, and Woody does not handle car rides well.
Andy & Hayley finished up their semesters at CU. McKenzie can't wait to say she's done with 6th! She & Samantha did a video called Haunting, about the history of ghosts in the Brook Forest Inn. Really fun & well done! They'll show it to their class this coming Friday. Can anyone think of a food or candy to pass out that would go with it??? That would be the cherry on top.
We're continuing work on subdividing the property. There will be a couple of 10 acre lots, then a 15 acre with the house, barn, and a pasture. To accomplish this, we'll need to purchase water through a water augmentation plan, then do surveying and platting.... But when we're done, we'll be able to build the new house on the lot we bought in town (across the street from Mom's condo) while still living here. That's if we can sell the two lots first. It'll be nice not to have to move twice. All this is probably a year and a half down the road.
Suddenly, the grass is green and we're a week away from planting flowers. So many birds have burst into song. It just smells like spring! As usual, we've gone from a few feet of snow to practically summer, but I'm used to it by now and it seems like the right way of changing seasons. If anyone wants to come and visit, we have the guestroom whipped back into shape since the woodpecker invasion. We'll be around a lot this summer, and Geoff will be off for a few weeks, it looks like. So pack your bags and come on over!
