Sorry about the picture joining the pictures of Lauren on her bicycle again, and again, and again, and again (though on a different bike). It's just hard to avoid when she's so cute.

It's been a busy weekend, especially considering my low energy level. Got three tons of wood pellets. Showed the young chickens to a family interested in buying for a 4H project. Loaded Glenn and Genie's truck with composted horse manure (as the start of our "cookies for poo" program, which netted us some of Genie's delicious oatmeal cookies and a nice 1-hour visit with them and their daughter). Then, a party last night with friends from Anne Marie's work.

Today, we started with a bicycle ride, which wound up including Lauren's first ride along and across streets. So far, it's been just on the bike paths. She's definitely improving and developing some speed riding, even though her skill at braking isn't always keeping up. Then groceries and a change of spark plugs and antifreeze for our car. The car runs really nice now. I'm very happy with it now that it's gone over 100,000 miles. Prior to that, it was just embarrassing how much it differed from my old beat-up cars and truck.

While all of this was more work than I probably should have planned to do this weekend, this work felt a lot less overwhelming that my "work" work has in the last week. I suppose it's nice to have some hard (or busy) work to get your mind off of your usual work. I'll get to find out tomorrow whether it's had any positive affect on my feelings about projects at work. Plus, I got my Binary Revolution shirt this weekend and can't wait to show Keith. Ha!
