Sorry it's been so long since we added a new entry. I'd like to say it's not my fault. So I will. There.

Anyway, we've had some interesting weather here. And when I say, "interesting", I mean crappy. One day, it looked like this. But, like everything else, snow must be properly inspected before it's allowed on the property. Poor Kenya's just not built for snow, though.

But the snow goes away pretty quickly. Occasionally, about once a year or so, the sun comes out. With a schedule like that, though, it's bound to get a little confusing and so everything shows up at once and we get this.

We've had a new addition to our neighborhood; one or two coyotes have arrived and seem to have taken up residence. While this is interesting from a biodiversity standpoint, it has had tragic consequences. Before we could institute a "no cats outside" policy, the Little Man of Great Ferocitude became no more :-( Little Man had boundless cuteness. He was a terror to small rodents, though, so maybe it was just karma.

It's not all gloom and doom. Though, now that I think of it, it has been pretty gloomy and doomy. We've been having visits from a gorgeous great blue heron. He sits in a tree and waits for the dogs to notice. Then he leaves.

Lessee, it was Paddy's birthday in March. Naturally, as anyone would do, I baked him and his pals carrot cupcakes. Susie took some convincing; she normally doesn't like to fuss over the horses much. Paddy, it turns out, didn't much like frosting much, though. Luckily, the Old Man was there to pick up the slack. He got frosting all over his little horsey mouth.

By the way, if you're made out of paper and roughly two dimensional, don't sneak into our house when Susie's around.

It's been forever since we wrote here, sorry about that. To update you between last time and now: it has rained, it has been raining, it is raining, it will rain. In fact, it will have been raining, it will have rained, and it was raining. It rains. It does rain. It rained.
I promised to post some pictures soon. Of the rain.
