Escaping Fleas: A Day at Pop Pop’s Ranch

📍

On top of all the things – trying to rescue the business from the economic slowdown, all four girls at home, and supervising education – of course the dog would get fleas that resisted all my attempts at cleaning. So today we played hookie from work and school and escaped to Chris’ dad’s ranch while the pest guy covered our house with all sorts of nasty chemicals. I’m all about natural cleaning products (we still make a lot of our own), but I totally draw the line at bugs. Lots of tiny bugs in my house = give me all the chemicals.

So we’ve been having fun with Pop Pop, reminiscing about when we lived out here in our trailer, and enjoying a beautiful Texas spring day. I even managed to get two of the four to pose for a requisite bluebonnet picture. These days it seems like tiny joys are even more important.
