We just came back from a very pleasant week in Florida and apparently it was terribly cold here while we were gone. It even snowed and killed my basil. Well, now it is beautiful and I just bought a ton of flowers that I am going to put in the ground today.

The previously vacant land across the street now has 2 horses on it. I am amazed that Wes isn't over there harassing them all day long. I wonder if he has even met them. I am a little nervous that Aidan is going to try to go and visit them. He noticed them today and didn't seem too attracted to them. He tends to follow Wes. Before I went to Florida, I discovered him on the other side of a 2 acre field, following Wes to a pond. I kicked off my Birkenstocks and ran, reaching him right before he got to a barbed wire fence. He was laughing hysterically and running from me - what a maniac. Half way across the field, as I carried him back to the barn, he said "I want to nurse". HA!

Aidan got his last teeth while we were in Florida - poor guy was in so much pain and his cheeks actually had red marks on them. I read somewhere that chimpanzees (or some other kind of monkey) stop nursing after their last molars come in.

I came home to my Mother's Day swap package from blueroses - she sent me some homemade salve and a huge lavender filled pillow which smells divine. I immediately put it to good use since I had a persistent headache after flying all day. Thanks blueroses!
