An "Elijah-Kind-Of-Day!"

Woody got up early and walked four miles.  A bit later in the morning, Mr. MacGregor aka Goosey/Woody found Peter Rabbit aka Elijah and they dug our garlic...not as prolific as some years, but we have some to cook with.  I harvested some of our oregano and got it ready to dry this morning.  I woke up way too early this morning, but did get quite a bit done before noon...several loads of wash, a load of dishes, vacuumed several room.  At times I met myself coming and going!  After lunch I headed to the church library to work.  Woody took care of Isaac while Isaac napped over here...not too rough of a job!  Almost as soon as I got home from the library, Elijah and several of his siblings were over here telling Goosey and me that it was time to come open Elijah's birthday presents.  Today isn't Elijah's birthday, but he isn't going to be home to celebrate his 5th birthday so he decided that today would be a good day to open his presents!

Here he is after he opened the present that Joy and Graham gave him..a Star War's Lego set...he was pretty happy and as you can tell by Joy and Graham's faces they were pretty happy with they gave him too!  He had a great time.  He had asked for Star Wars things and guns...and he got some of both.  He really liked the Nerf gun that Auntie Cheryl sent him from AZ. And Esther gave him a water gun and Abigail gave him another type of gun!  We'd all better watch out if we see Elijah sneaking up on us! We gave him a stomp rocket...now to see how high it will shoot into the air!  The funny present that he asked me for was string cheese...so of course we had to get him some.  He was a happy camper with everything that he got.  And, he still has his mommy and daddy's gifts to look forward to on his birthday.  I came home after the present opening time and cooked a little something for our supper.  Then Woody headed off to do our Wednesday Krogering.  Not long after Woody left someone came over to visit me while his mommy ran an errand.  It looks like he is into "selfies!"
