I'm Back, I Think

We went to the beach last week. It was nice to have a week away, but it's one of those things you can't exactly warn your blog followers about.

We went fishing on Thursday. We got a nice haul, but it was the beginning of the end for me. You have to understand, I'm one of those people who can make myself car sick when I'm driving. I went fishing last year and was fine, so I decided to go again this year. I was so sick. I toughed it out and kept fishing, but it was all I could do not to toss my cookies.

I managed to recover from sea sickness just in time to catch a stomach bug on Saturday. It's not like me to lie down during the day but I spent both Monday and Tuesday afternoons in bed. I'm finally feeling like I may be turning the corner.

Despite my illness, the garlic needed to come up. I was afraid if I left it until I felt better it'd split like it did last year.

When I got home, I noticed that some of the bucklings' horn buds were growing and they needed to be disbudded again. I got some done yesterday and will do the last boy today. It sucks. I really burned the stew out of them this time. I hope it's enough. It makes me feel better to see them playing like nothing even happened though. I just know I have to get this done right to sell them!
