Kross Kountry with Karol: March 19

Yes, I’m in my “happy place”! A day on the farm! And even better a day that makes it above 60 degrees bs. yesterday only 41, with wind chill even colder! After breakfast it was time for chores as Bennett and I went out to let the chickens out, collect fresh eggs, feed the pigs. Then a trip into Omaha to pick up 6 sacks of feed for Dorey and Pot Belly! While the boys slept great time for using a few WORDS!

For dinner the biggest T bone I’ve ever eaten. Should have taken a picture but I just enjoyed it! Yummy! Plus beans and sweet potatoes!

Then an evening sitting outside using more “words”, star gazing, watching for satellites, using the thermal spy glass to look for rabbits, coons, or any other critters wondering in the dark!

Here are a couple of follow up notes I got post visit re my buddy Bennett from his mom! “ Bennett said something this afternoon about Aunt Karol coming back home with a shake in his voice. I asked if he was sad and missing you. He said yes. I let him know I was missing you too.” Another one this morning: “This morning Bennett was rambling to himself while painting about sitting outside with Aunt Karol and looking for animals. It was the cutest and brought the biggest smile to my face.“

What an unexpected blessing this two hour side trip was!

Bennett was my helper when I was working on scrubbies! I would tie strips together and he would pull till it was stretched out, then I would tie another, and another! It got pretty long! If you know me at all you know I can make a game out of anything!
