Lioness- 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, is the universe pooping or something? Today was (is) insane. Laia was pouty and moody (and omg I can see what she'll look like at 13. ack!) and then something set Ro off. No idea what but she cried huge wailing meltdown for almost an hour, fell asleep on my lap, woke up and started crying again. Finally got her balanced and she noticed Laia was sad so she went over and told Laia "I love you". It was really sweet. But then Laia came over to us and told Rowan she wanted to whisper a secret in her ear... and the secret was "I don't like you".
So Ro started crying and since then one or both of them has been in tears. tor is fussy (teething) but the drama of the girls is just over the top.
On the up side though the wiring is done! The trees are planted and work begun on the retaining wall. BUT when dh pulled out the rotten wooden supports from the remains of the old retaining wall we git a surprise... some sort of artesian spring! The ground in that corner is always wet and "bouncy" but now there is a two foot deep hole that fills in about 20 minutes. It's only 10 feet or so from the house foundation so I'm a bit worried. But kind of neat to be gifted with a sellf filling "well" on a holy day.
It threw us off track though so tomorrow is going to be busy busy too.
We still need to move the fire pit, burn the debris, and put up the retaining wall somehow. Not to mention the coop!

and I feel a lot better about it now. We'll have a good time. Death, and rebirth. It's ok to have the two back-to-back, and this lady who died, if I could have her opinion, would probably say something along the lines of "Don't cancel a party on my account." She'll be dearly missed. I'll dance for her today.
