Hail Hail Hail

Thursday
April Fool's Day
The last 3 days, it has been hailing at least once a day. Weather here has been turning colder. Right now it is 27 degrees F outside. Brrrrrr.

Nature is giving us the April Fool's Day joke. 6 weeks of winter for spring; as we have had spring for the last few months of winter!

I took Zeus & Bud for a walk down to get mail. However, Zeus had other ideas. While they were waiting at a nearby tree, he chewed through his leash. I got to him just barely in time to prevent him running away. We will have to work on this. They are learning the NILF method better. Sit for everything.

#3 and his friend cut down a couple trees out in the woods that had some sort of pest rot. Hopefully we got to the bad trees before it spread. Maybe have to take a picture so that we can take it down to the Extension Office to advise what is the problem. Don't want to lose any more trees.

Played with the puppies outside for over an hour because 'Lil Bit refused to let me sit in the office & do taxes. He was doing the "dancing bear" routine & whining. So I ran outside after him, and around everywhere. He loved it. Then played tug-of-war in the warm sun with the Saints. Bud & Harriet played keep-away with a yellow tennis ball. Threw it quite a few times until my arm grew sore!

Tired the puppies out so much that they came in & slept for 2.5 hours afterwards!
