Thanks to everyone that pledged money for Tuck's hit-a-thon

Tucker raised $117 for Lakeland Little League with the hit-a-thon. Thanks to everyone that supported him.

Round Lake

The boys and I went to Round Lake for the afternoon. It was beautiful out. They fished a bit, no bites, while I read in the sun. When they got bored with fishing we took a hike around the lake. What a nice day.

Tired

Last night the kittens were restless. They kept me up a good part of the night. Of course now they are sleeping soundly. They are already growing and some of them are opening their eyes.

Kittens again

Gray baby
This one is so sweet. Normally he curls up in my hand and snuggles in to nurse.

I guess if I can't have more babies I will baby kittens. LOL

Awesome Tucker

Tucker had the hit-a-thon, pictures, and a game yesterday. He did great at the hit-a-thon and hit 18 balls. They had a great game! Tucker hit 3 really good hits and pitched great. He also made some good throws from the outfield. We went and got him a large Cookie Dough blizzard after the game.

Baby kittens

Our feral female had kittens. Tucker and Ethan found them on Thursday in my 4-wheeler seat. I had managed to catch the momma after sitting very patiently for hours. I used the babies as bait in a kennel, but as I was carrying the kennel to the barn the door popped open and she espaced. So now I am bottle feeding 5 kittens. I could give them to the momma, but then I would have 5 more feral cats. So... Rusty tried catching her bare-handed and got bit for his troubles. He had to go to the Dr. and get on antibiotics because it is infected. I borrowed a live trap from CPA(Concerned People for Animals) and so far I have trapped the male, but not the momma. Never a dull moment here. LOL

Jen Cox had her baby

Sorry the picture is so little. I took it from my facebook account and that is as big as I can get it.

Another cold day

Well we had another cold game! I don't think it is ever going to warm up. Tucker got another hit. He isn't hitting as hard as he does at home, but at least he is getting a piece of it. He played 3rd today, but no real action. It was a pretty slow game. At least the rain waited till the game was over. We have a game Saturday at 5:30 plus pics and the hit-a-thon.

Garden

I worked in my gardens for a few hours yesterday in between the rain. They are usually in tip-top shape by now. With the snow taking so long to melt and all the rain I have not gotten them cleaned up yet. My back in killing me today. I forget how much in aches when I am done. Once I get them all finished I will take some pics. Not much is blooming yet, but soon! Farmer's Market opened last Saturday so I will have to get some more flowers. Oh and a snickerdoodle! It would be best it the cookie lady quit coming to the market. LOL I am so excited to see my roses starting to come back. The rose guy loves me cause I buy new roses each year! I will need more this year also. The last two winters have not been kind to my poor babies. Wishing for more sunshine!

Our friend Brian brought me the beautiful flowers yesterday for Mother's Day. I thought that was so sweet. Aren't they gorgeous! I have been wanting to put a flower picture up above and these are perfect.
