The Fifteenth of the month

Wow.  Hard to believe it is already the 15th.  The month is more than half over and yet it seems like Christmas was just a week or so back.  Im glad to see the month move on.  It brings warmer weather, and soon, the trees will bud.  It will be interesting to see what the trees in the mule paddock do. Tom,  our troubled child, got bored last fall, and chewed the bark off every tree as far as he could reach.  Considering that he is approximately 8 feet at his forehead, he cleaned them pretty high.  Some say the trees will die, some say they wont be affected. As I said, it will be interesting to find out.
I call Tom our troubled child.  He is the younger of the 2 mules, by only 6 months or so.  He can be as sweet and loving as Sam, and yet Tom has this ornery streak built in.  He is the one to jump the fence to visit the Llamas. He is the one who decided to investigate the back acreage last summer and almost got himself hurt by falling into an old retaining pit.  He reminds me of a spoiled child, who doesnt care if hes in trouble, as long as someone is giving him some attention!
Today has been sort of a dreary day.  Ive a killer headache,and the sun comes and goes.  Its a day meant for being lazy.  Instead I puttered a bit, moved some things around, did some mending. And found time to give the mules their carrot treats.
What do you do on those lazy days when your "get up and go, got up and went"?  Read, craft, sleep? Or are you disciplined to continue your projects?  Enjoy the picture of Tom and Sam, and my son Jason.  Jas is 6 feet, 3 inches.  And the mules make even him look small.
