		<description>Me either, can't wait to see em! ;)

Guess these spring storms are really widespread...from Amy in New Zealand, to you in Canada, and us here in the states...April showers bring May flowers...unless you live in NZ that is, and are heading into winter!</description>

		<description>We've had storms non-stop up here...we still have a few patches of snow in our yard and it has been raining constantly. Although today it was just grey out with no rain. That is so neat about the Araucanas!! Pretty blue-turquoise eggs!! I never heard of that before!</description>

		<description>Thanks Leticia, and I hope the weather doesn't hinder your plans too much! I know what you mean about rainy weather, sometimes it is a nice change...especially when you need an excuse to cozy up inside. 

Thanks, Mom! We really enjoyed yesterday also...and the leftovers were lapped up for supper, it was so nice not to have to cook. The girls are so comfortable on the horses, and these two are really gentle. Six months ago we wouldn't have let 7 yo on the gray, but he's had an amazing turn around--thanks, of course--to my dh's skill in horse training! ;) Plus, both horses were busy all day, so they had little oomph left in them to act up!</description>

		<description>Yep, at least once we get through the first week in June. Thankfully we opted out of 4-H this year, so July won't fly by in a flurry of county fair preparations!

Hope you make it through to the other side of the storms, Amy!</description>
