#GM today is a better day 🤍

Today is Open Farm Day in our state. Many farms open their doors to visitors, and I find that absolutely fascinating! My husband took the children to a nearby dairy farm. Next year, I’ll be joining them again 🤍 #cowstr

Draußen stürmt und regnet es. Ich liege im Bett und bin zu schwach für alles. Selbst das Handy kann ich nur kurz in der Hand halten. Ein ungewohnter Zustand für einen Menschen wie mich, der gerne beschäftigt ist. Was hätte ich nicht alles gemacht an einem Samstag wie heute. Jetzt habe ich viel Zeit. Die Gedanken wabern hin und her und ab und zu schlafe ich dabei ein 🤍

The best husband made chicken soup for me. Let’s see if it helps get me back on my feet. I’m feeling pretty weak right now 🤍 #foodstr

#GM tea instead of #coffee today. What a terrible night. But it’s a little better now 🤍

Everyone hates hearing “I told you so!” But today I simply had to say it to my husband 🤭 I never feed our dog human food. With my last dog, whom I raised on my own, I had very good experiences with that approach. Human food simply wasn’t interesting to him, and he never stole anything. My husband and the children didn’t want to listen to me. They kept giving the dog leftovers. They got him hooked on the taste. Today, while we were out, he ate all the bread rolls my husband had planned to have for dinner. I told you so 🤍 #dogstr

Our town has a long-standing tradition of hosting a dragon boat race where the local schools compete against each other. My oldest daughter loves taking part, and her class came in second place. It was so lovely to see the excitement and team spirit among the kids 🤍 #kidstr #dragonboat #school

My neighbor’s bees and the bumblebees love my flowers 🤍 #flowerstr #beestr #gardenstr
