Christmas in the Spring

This weekend was fabulous! C and I did the Evan's Landing hike. The weather was perfect. The air smelled so fresh, like a Christmas tree. We did encounter a little bit of snow, but other than that it was a perfect hike. Kona and Kodi were with us and they enjoyed the water when we got down to the lake. I know I shouldn't let Kona swim since the water is so cold, but there is no stopping her. C and I sat by the shore of Lake Pend Orielle and soaked in the sun and each others company.

On Sunday we went mountain biking in Farragut state park. I probably won't be winning any mountain bike competitions anytime soon, but I still had fun. I only got a small pedal scrape on the back of my calf which isn't bad for my first time out in years. Of course I tried to take us somewhere that was too difficult for my skill level, are you surprised? C carefully suggested that maybe I wasn't ready for the trail we were on. He was right, but still I hate sucking at stuff.

All in all it was a perfect weekend. Next weekend we are off to Fairmont with my parents. And then...the countdown to Ireland begins.

Sadie

On Easter Mom and Dad told me that they would be willing to take Sadie from me once Neko passes. I have never seen C so happy. Poor Sadie, that cat has been so neglected since I got Kona. Kona definitely rules the roost. I had thought about giving Sadie to a better home, but honestly I was afraid to give her to anyone. She isn't exactly friendly. She is sort of Jekyll and Hyde. One minute nice and loving and the next eating your hand.

Just this morning she was trying to eat the roses C gave me and so I told her "no" and she hissed at me. So I got out the squirt bottle. After about 10 squirts and no response I finally gave her a shot of water to the face. Finally she stopped eating the roses, she was soaking wet.

I really hope that Sadie will be happy at Mom and Dads. They will be able to give her the attention she needs. One thing that is so fun about Sadie is that she loves to play. I definitely think her future is looking up.

I wonder (for mom and dad's sake) if they make kitty Prozac.

4 Wheeler Overload

Yesterday on the way home from work I saw a guy driving a 4 wheeler with two Labrador retrievers on the back. One was chocolate and the other yellow. They were wagging their tails excitedly. Obviously no the first time they have done this. Oh..and the guy had a kid riding in front of him. Now that is a full ride.

So Lucky

I am so lucky to have a boyfriend, that appreciates me for all the quirky things I do. That likes me the way I am, and spoils me rotten by bringing me flowers out of the blue. And...he knows/remembers that I think red roses are so over rated. Can't wait to see my man this weekend. We hope to cook lemon fettuccine together and go for a long bike ride. Oh...and he gets to meet my extended family this weekend!
