To be perfectly honest, I haven't put a lot of thought into what is about to happen in the next couple months with baby girl on her way. I guess the time is drawing near...but what have I done to prepare? I did get some newborn clothing tucked away in her dresser drawer last week. And today I ordered my birthing kit. I know there are a few more odds and ends that need to be put in order, but there's just so much else happening around here. 

I feel like I've accomplished quite a few tasks this morning. We collected a bag full of pine needles and grassy stick things from the park for a project we're working on. We had a big collection of mostly magazines and a few books that we dropped off at 2 different Little Free Libraries. Then we were off to the feed store to take care of all animal related needs. I needed to get goat and cat food, de-worming meds, and flea/tick meds. Hopefully they will be set for a couple months now.

Presently, Finn and I are trying to figure out how we're going to make a sign for 'Blueberry Hill'. We planted 4 bushes in the front yard and we spent our entire yesterday decorating the grassy slope with gnome-y mushroom-y things. 

More marigolds, peppers, and passion flowers were seeded in trays and everything in the greenhouse/hoop house is doing very well! 

Ted informed me that more rain is on it's way for the weekend, so it looks like tonight we'll be preparing for floody weather and getting the sump ready to drain the areas that turn into ponds. 

Also, the Superbowl is coming to town this weekend. Hopefully we'll be able to get around to wherever we need to go without dealing with all the crazies ;) (drivers, that is!)

Fare thee well!
