My 16th Birthday
Posted by Lacy in On the Farm on Thursday, March 5, 2009
As some of you are probably aware, yesterday was my 16th birthday.
Yep, that's right, I finally turned 16, isn't that neat? Had someone asked me what I wanted for my birthday on Monday or Tuesday I would've said all I wanted was electricity, running water, and heat!
All in all, I had a very wonderful day.
We didn't bake a cake, due to the fact that Gran & Pap had brought down our "early birthday" cake & some gifts when they came, and none of us particularly wanted anymore cake, especially after we all had just gotten over being sick.
I had decided to try to let Tiny perch on my shoulder yesterday. I figured since she perched so well on her 'transportation stick' (which I really ought to get a picture of!) why not try letting her perch on my shoulder like a parrot? Well, once I tried to get her on my shoulder I quickly wished I hadn't, because she sure put up a fuss. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I forgot to check if her feet were clean.
Well, she apparently didn't want to roost on my shoulder.. she actually preferred to try to get on my head instead. And me, wearing my white headcovering and her with her not-so-clean feet, that didn't go over very well!! Needless to say, my white headcovering now needs to be washed!
I started working on some of my first Scripture tag graphics (for sidebars, etc) yesterday. I don't think they turned out too badly.
It started snowing…

Well, I finally did get sick, I must not have been consistent enough with putting the Oregano under my tongue. Thankfully, though, I got it and had it over with within a day. Gran and Pap came down on February the 28th to spend a couple days with us, and we, as always, thoroughly enjoyed their company!
Sunday it started snowing, and it snowed all day, and continuing snowing all night. By Monday morning it finally stopped snowing. Let me tell you, this is the biggest snow I can remember having for a long time. Though we didn't officially measure it, I'd say we got around 11 inches.
Gabriel enjoyed it and the chickens and guineas have never seen this much snow. They wouldn't set foot in the little snow skiffs we had a while back, and they certainly aren't going to step in this much snow!
We were all sitting around Sunday night having a little Bible study, and about 10 minutes after we had finished it, we lost our electricity. Apparently some limb out of a tree fell and hit the electric line and caused a fuse to blow. Then we proceeded with the normal action of trying-to-remember-where-I-stuck-my-flashlight search.
Though we didn't have any heat in the house, we did have the wood stove in the barn to get warm with! And, with 11 inches of snow sitting outside, it is nice to have someplace you can go to get warm!! At about 5 AM this morning, we finally got our power back, for which we are very thankful!
It seems to me that last time Gran & Pap came down it snowed… didn't it? Oh, that reminds me, Gran brought down a whole pack (44 cards) of "Who Am I?" cards for me so I could post them on my blog, after we are finished with the "What Am I?" cards.
