Author's Tea






Bijou's class hosts an "Author's Tea" once a month to allow students to read their stories that they have written and typed to friends and family. I was so excited to get to go and hear Bijou read hers. She was inspired by poor Jimmy's recent accident and had written a clever and wonderful story which I will post below.
My heart was bursting with pride as she fearlessly read her story in a beautifully loud voice. My Biji love!



Once upon a time there was a pirate named Jimmy. He was a peg legged puppy. He was brown with brown eyes and floppy ears. He sailed on his doggie bone ship. He searched many years for his treasure. The treasure was dog biscuits. Sometimes when peg leg Jimmy got angry he would say “aruff!”

Jimmy’s best friend was named Bird. He was a parrot. He was green and his head was yellow. One day they found an island. It was called pirate Puppy Island. Then Jimmy said “land arff!” Then they got off the boat. They dug for two months. Then they finally found the treasure chest. They tried to open it but it didn’t open. Then they saw a keyhole. They needed to find the key. One day on the nineteenth of May he found a key chain with one thousand keys. They tried 700 keys then they fell asleep. The next morning peg leg Jimmy tried 300 more and the last one was the right one!

He opened the chest and started eating the dog biscuits. When he ate them all he was very full. So he went back on his doggie bone ship and sailed away back home. The end.

Fiber Time!









Jack and I went to visit Pita and Leroy today. Pita looks amazing and 10 years younger after getting a special hair cut from Robin! haha! So great! We gave them a brush down and a little clean up and headed out with two heaving bags of fiber which we took to a processor in Canby. I was amazed at this ladies set up and while going up to the front door was checked out by a row of llamas! She had a decent size shop with all the necessary machinery and fiber in bags from floor to ceiling! It was dizzying and I vowed to convince her to let me intern there this summer! I hope so.. as she is four months out on processing and looks like she could use the help!

Wiener Mobile!

Sushi Lunch




Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!



Poor Mr. Jimmy!




Jimmy decided he would rather run around the yard then be held and so he did a flying leap out of Jack's arms and fell on his paw. Thankfully it was a clean break and only has to wear a splint for a month! phew! He now has decided he is a pirate and runs around like a bat out of hell on his pegged leg!

Spring!





Jack and I had a great day off and enjoyed some of the first gorgeous spring weather. After a tasty fruit and granola breakfast we hit the yard doing some yoga, cleaning up the porch, and enjoying some lazy time in the sun.... love.
