The tell-tale sign of my age this year wasn’t the number of candles on the cake (we went with a lone candle instead of using a whopping 31 candles this time around). Nope, the true sign was in my birthday present request. Scott loves me, so because I asked him to, he bought me metal…

Flower Friday
Sometimes I harbor frustration towards the last owner of our house for all of the stains on the walls. There are just so many of them! The stains mean that eventually, every single wall in our house needs a fresh coat of paint (except for the two rooms we’ve already gotten around to painting). Sad….
Rainy Days and Comfort Food

Science + Cows
You know I like cows, or you could easily guess that from my post about Peanut’s cows. And my subsequent update about how his cows are doing in Germany. Well, it turns out that cows are a part of some fun new science, too. That same methane release problem that caused an explosion in Germany…
