Soon after the bunny-mobile left for Phoenix (and what a long ride that was!) we resumed our week. Michael was off to Chicago, kids were off to school ... and I was off to work and to get Buster a "well bunny" check up at the vet.
Turns out Buster's a chick! She'll keep her name though. I mean, as Hugh says, if there can be a boy called Sue ...
For some extra credit in French class, Rex put together a recipe that he learned on his trip to Paris. But now he has the complete chef's outfit. What a pro! Here is making the caramel sauce to go over the apple tart that he put together himself.
Eh, voila! Magnifique!
In other news, Valerie left us for a barn full of sheep again. It's lambing season out at Chaffin. Here Valerie has donned the gloves and assists the barn manager with a birth. This ewe was in labor when we arrived and started pushing soon after. I couldn't get in to close for a good picture. But Valerie helped the little ram out of it's mom and dried it off while Lynda sucked the fluid from its nose and mouth.
Valerie actually hasn't been home for a couple of days. She is literally sleeping in the barn with the sheep and helping out.
But, how worth it?! Looks at this mamma sleeping with her new babe!
I have had more mundane tasks ... work, laundry, cooking, cleaning, feeding the critters at home. But I did take time out this week to get the spring colors put back in my hair. Here I am with Amazing Grace, my colorist. She's goofy!
That's all from Rancho Wilhelm this week ... next week are volleyball tryouts for Rex and a field trip to the coast to see elephant seals/tidal pools for Valerie and more horse riding lessons and guitar for Miss Amira.
