No time for a "real" post, but here's some quick rambling:We got a lamb today! Her name is Lily. She is soooo cute. We pretty much bought her as a glorified weed-wacker. The dogs just adore her. They follow her around everywhere, and then she turns around and follows them everywhere. If they leave her alone for more than a few minutes, she baaahs unhappily and goes to find them.
Yesterday I finished reading my fourth novel from the Bookworm Challenge. I think I might actually stand a chance of conquering my list this year. Now writing the reviews, that's a completely different story. If I decide to actually write them, they'll probably be special, "one-word" reviews. As in, this book was "awesome," or "mediocre," or "sucked royally" (I might have to bump it up to "two-word" reviews for some of them).
Small group on Monday night was fun! We stayed up pretty late that night, and then I couldn't spool down afterwards, so I wound up with virtually no sleep. But sleep-deprivation is a standard for me at least a few times a week, plus I love entertaining, so I really didn't mind at all. Steve told us this entire story of how he and Becky met, but he did so in such a "story-teller" fashion that it was almost like listening to a light-hearted, romantic little novel, complete with the exposition, rising action, and so on.
I haven't painted in nearly two weeks. I miss it...a LOT...so I'm going to set everything else aside and paint some more on Friday.
Clint built a split-rail fence around our yard. He also put in this arbor-thingie. We still have to paint everything white this weekend to make it match the neighbor's fence (not exactly the kind of painting project I wanted to do), but once it's finished, I'll try to post a picture. You can see part of the unpainted fence in the background above.
Well, that was all very hodgepodgy. Goodnight.
Your lamb is so cute, and I love her name!

She really is pretty cute. We named her Lily because:
ReplyDelete1. She's white, like a lily
2. She's a little timid, or "lily-livered," as Clint put it, and
3. We got her right after Easter, which reminded us of Easter lillies.
So there you have it, the history of her name. I obviously have no life. ;-)
So cool that you chose a name that actually has some meaning. :-D
ReplyDeleteYou mean everyone doesn't go into that much depth when naming their weed wackers?
ReplyDeletelol!
