SWMBO told me to fold up the wood stack cover. I was just going to turn the frame and everything 180º to be head-in into the wind. But I forgot about the piece of OSB I had on top, and it was too heavy to maneuver. So I took the cover off and brought it into the catio. Unfortunately, I knocked one of the ceramic candle lanterns off of a post and it shattered. Oh, well. Still windy.

Church was great, as always. There was a meal afterwards, we got know more people. Got home at 3!  
Off to sleep.  
Love you guys.

Please tell me it’s the “exercising” joke, cuz that is very me.

I had three actual ferrets (yes, at the same time) in my early 20s.

The thought of 60 of them in the same place is mind-boggling.

Off to find non-pizza fud. 'Nighty-night!

**Wee Weasel** is an only child. We try to keep him as engaged as possible especially because he has developmental delays. He’s also insatiably curious about everything, which is a good problem to have. I just want to share the world with him. I find that’s when I’m happiest is when I’m teaching him things.

I read one of her books. Good writer.

Yes I know it’s an old thread. I had to catch up.
