We finally had sunshine and nearly 50 yesterday! It was gorgeous and felt soooo good. The babies got some time outside where they weren't dodging snow, ice or mud for a change. I'm looking forward to the time change. It means that we can take them outside after dinner and not have to rush to fit it in before dark. As you can see, Baby TC and Baby Trudy found themselves a tree. They are ten months old now, and they think they are really big stuff! They are so cute.

I actually have some time off coming up soon, and I'm very excited. I'm hoping the weather is decent those days, but it's still winter, so it'll be anyone's guess whether or not we'll be indoors the whole time. I hope not, though. I'd love a good run or two, just me and my playlist or a true crime podcast or a food or holiday podcast. Nothing like an hour spent with just yourself, the trail and your preferred choice of entertainment. It also means that we can stay out with the babies a bit longer those days that I'm off. They'll love that, although it turns Baby Trudy into a bit of a monster. She's the tiniest of all the babies, but if she doesn't get to go out, she sits at the door and yells her head off. It's really screechy sometimes, too. She's got some real lungs. The more she gets to go out, the more she demands it!
The time change is coming up mid-March! I'm not a fan of time changes; they mess terribly with my body and brain for a bit, but I do look forward to more light for an extended period during spring and summer. It can make a lot of things easier, and my body doesn't feel like it needs to go to bed at 5:30 p.m.! Then, on June 20th, we'll have the longest day of the year, and the days will begin growing shorter again, all on their own. I do wonder if we shouldn't leave the time changes alone. The earth and sun do what they're going to do without our interference, and we really don't need the time changes based on old reasons that no longer really exist.
I'm craving biscuits, but it's a hectic week, so nothing homemade. It'll be canned Aldi biscuits. They're decent and fairly cheaper than other brands. Homemade is better, but canned is fine for us, too. I had meant to grab a handful of Bojangles biscuits for the week (love them soooo much), but I forgot, and so canned it is. I think I"ll make up a few egg and cheese biscuits and wrap them for the fridge. Easy to grab and heat up in the morning. I don't make more than a couple days' worth, as you don't want the egg to go rubbery after a couple days.
I cannot believe that I have still not made it to Peggy Ann Bakery lately. I need to make sure I get there for Easter, as least. I want some of their cupcake bunnies! They are oval in shape and completely covered in piped icing to look like bunnies. Last year, I got a few pink bunnies and few purple bunnies. They were almost too adorable to eat, but we ate them anyway, and they were good! Old-fashioned frosting, cut with shortening. Not too sweet, super creamy and has that crackle-cut to it unlike any other type of frosting. If they ever change their frosting, I'll probably lose it.
Sonic drink days are coming up, and so are scary movie weekends! Right about March, I start getting my seed orders completed and begin researching new scary movies to watch for the hot summer months. I'm looking forward to less mud and muck, although I'm hoping and praying that the trade-off isn't high winds and tornadoes.
Today, we take my big, beautiful baby boy Oliver to the Univ of TN small animal hospital for his check-up with his cardiologist and lung specialist. I'm always nervous, you never know how it might go. Hoping and praying for a report that his heart and lungs are both stable. I don't know how long we'll have this precious boy, but I'm praying that God will give him a much longer-than-expected lifespan. He's the sweetest Maine coon mix; not a mean bone in his body, and he has these huge, fantastic eyes that look at you with all the love and trust in the world. He's been a gift, no question about it.
Need to go pop those biscuits in the oven, they don't bake themselves. Blessed Tuesday to you.
