So, of course, it took me until this weekend to find time to write about last weekend :)
Yesterday's weather really felt like Spring was here, so a belated happy Spring to everyone! luvcherbear and i celebrated Ostara in NJ, of all places. We went to visit juergen, maziemaus, Miss B., bunnyjadwiga and her month-or-so old Beekman. It was the first time we had seen most of them since the baby had been born, so there was much hugging and snuggling :) We spent some time walking around a local park there, playing in the playground and Miss B. introduced us to the joys of geocaching. I've heard of it before, of course, but it apparently requires a magical device called a Gee-pee-ess to join in the fun. She found her cache and exchanged a colourful shoelace for a plastic fish. Which learned to fly ("throw the trout!") and prompted a discussion of the Spring migration patterns of the flying trout and how New Jersey happens to be one of their preferred resting stops...
Back at the house we had nommy dinner, prepared by maziemaus: tabouli, humus, nachos, things to dip into all of the above. Much cooing and awwing and holding of the baby :) More cuddling and hugging and then we regretfully had to leave for the long drive home. By the way, the toll plaza crossing into PA on route 22 changes their configuration on the weekend. It's very confusing, passing through there every day and heading for the EZ-pass lanes, to have to see other lanes marked "EZ-pass only" and at the same time remember luvcherbear's car doesn't have an EZ-pass tag. Especially when it's nearly midnight.
So, yeah, Spring :) I love driving through NJ farm country to work and back... Seeing all the animals, now that they're outdoors: horses, goats, cows, and their young. I haven't seen the sheep yet, nor the llama. Yes, there's one farm i pass that has llama.
Today luvcherbear and i are off to Imperial Tattoo in Bethlehem, to talk to one of their artists about a design we plan on getting. Yes, both of us. luvcherbear has been trying to make me nervous, telling me "you know it's going to hurt, right?" :)
Right, i'm being ordered into the shower so we're not late...
ETA: Oh, and for those participating, Earth hour is at 8:30 tonight...
here's a llama / there's a llama / and another little llama / fuzzy llama / funny llama / llama llama duck |
