And in a flash, it's a whole new world...
I've got a lot to update about, and I'm not sure where I should start, though I suppose I could just go chronologically. I'll split it into more than one update so as not to overwhelm everyone.. lol
First, last weekend, which I spent visiting my parents.
Their house is still my 'home away from home'. The only place I can truly relax and forget about everything else in life for while. I was really stressed out about having to go back to work this week (which I did today, more on that later), and the fact that I was still really stressed out about other things during my 'time off', which was frustrating.
Anyways, my parents have turkeys on their farmland, which are quite amusing. Being that it's 'spring' time, the males have decided to fight amongst themselves which is almost frightening to watch. I did catch it on video, but it would take far too long to upload, and it'd probably be kind of disturbing. hah They've not killed each other yet, but they have drawn blood! ew.
On the other end of the birdies in spring spectrum, they've also got some ducks on the farm, who've laid a bunch of eggs! How cool is that? There's about a dozen eggs there, and as you can see, they're being attended to quite nicely. I hope they have little ducklings soon, because if they do I might have to go visit more often. lol
And another springtime event is PILE O' KITTENS!!!!! OMGGGG They're SO CUTE. I also have a video of them, and you can hear the kittens 'mewing' too. They were born while I was there (on Friday evening/night we think). God, I love kittens. There are 6 of them there. So gorgeous.
The guy on the right is who we believe to be the father. He's pretty handsome, don't you think? He's from down the road (isn't how that always goes?). You can't see in this pic, but he's got a bobbed tail. Being that he's pretty fluffy, it's absolutely adorable!
So yeah, not much happened with me that weekend, but a lot happened with everyone else! lol I leave you with a couple pics of blooms coming up around my parents' place too. I think I'm going to get them an apple tree for their anniversary next month. We saw one at the store today which had blooms on it and it was gorgeous. That may seem weird, but they already have cherry trees, a pear tree, walnut trees, a great lilac bush, etc. I dunno... it just seems appropriate. Anyways, I must say, I'm liking May 2007 so far!! More on that later ;)

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
