My dear little Bliss (aka Cougar Hill's 72% Dark Chocolate Bliss) is almost a month old, we are so blessed. It's hard to believe how quick the time goes by, seems like just yesterday poor "Truffy" (aka Cougar Hill's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle) looked like this:

Poor thing, she was getting so huge! And now we have this:

~Bliss just an hour old~

~Bliss, 5 days old~

We got our new paddocks done not more than a month ago and I am so loving them. I can stand in the living room and look out the window and see the horses. I can stand on the back deck and gaze out on the beauty of my dear, sweet Gypsy girls. It is a huge blessing and I am having so much fun watching how they interact with one another and the quirky little things they do. I also splurged and put in a Nelson waterer that serves both paddocks...did I say I love it, love it all. God is good!

I often stay up later than I should and then I get hungry...it's better to just go to bed and get enough sleep and not eat late at night. However, when I am up late I do enjoy some little something to keep me working those late hours. Luckily I adore smoothies. I think when the kids are grown and gone (sniff, cry, whimper) I shall have smoothies for two of my meals and just eat a meal I actually have to chew once a day. Just think...no prep time, hardly, and minimal clean up, which equals more time outside. That works for me. So here is one of my late night smoothies...raspberry dream...yummy.

Why choose such a small glass? It has flowers on it and looks like spring. As you can see from the obvious overflow, it was late and I miscalculated grossly. Such a waste!
