Much March

 If you want a secret to stay secret, then only 2 people can know, and one must be dead.  People are being cautious about Corona and we are suppose to stay home.  Syringa plans a trip to Idaho. Mom is adamant we all stay home as her school has threatened to fire anyone traveling or associating with those out of state. "You can't come here"  My house it is.  So Naturally Utah has a 5.7 earthquake. All of Salt Lake shut down. Greg was stuck on the train for 4 hrs. Mom is frantically calling at 7 Am to see if Syringa is OK. We didn't even know about it. It was Chick days we got 20 meat birds the kids loved the baby chicks. Preston used the loader to pile up the tumble weeds.  Its always fun to watch it burn.  It goes so big and hot and fast. You can hear it whoosh as it picks up momentum and starts to create its own wind inside. Fire inspired a hot dog roast.  McCarty got ticked and we end up confessing to Mom Syringas whereabouts.  She insists we come visit.  Preston and I went to Boise Temple for long overdue anniversary date. Food closed so we walk the mall. It has the feel of a post apocalyptic book.  On a Saturday we are one of maybe 25 in the whole building including maintenance and shop keepers.  Open shops have "due to Corona limits" It's Crazy. (future self "oh just wait" see corona post).  Before we left we had a silly string fight. Syringa headed home a day early when we heard Utah was threatening to close its boarders due to the growing Corona concerns. 

Keeping up with the Joneses...Idaho had an Earthquake 6.5 near Stanley.  We felt it here.   At first I thought I was experiencing Vertigo. but then the wall was moving. the House was moving.  I had a million thoughts. *storm *tornado *big tree falling *atomic bomb *Earthquake.   It was over in seconds.  " Kids did you feel that?  that was an earthquake!.  that was so cool.! "  Pam felt it in Arco and thought Please just don't be Yellowstone.  We are living in some crazy times. "and there shall be earthquakes in diverse places. Mathhew 24:7 

Katana was in the toy room playing mine craft and the bed started shaking.  She just thought it was Preston messing with her.  The boys were playing electronics both were totally unimpressed.  It was an Earthquake...."oh I couldn't hold my tablet still" 

I'm home. A lot of stuff is being cancelled like the Color festival. I'm so sad. Project Time.  Living room getting big base boards. Cleaning walls and fixing holes.   Painting kids rooms.   Warmer weather for motorbikes, ropes and swings.   Zara moving, climbing and getting into everything. All work and no play...leads to cabin fever.  Hiking trails are still open.  Box Canyon made for a beautiful day.  And last but not least.  We got a good Surprise mid-month. Preston calls a few minutes after he left for work.  " Hey come take care of this colt?"  It took me longer than it should have to understand him.   We got a stud in hope that they would/ could take but didn't really know for sure.  Diamond did indeed have a little colt.  We named him Bling Bling.  And the kids absolutely love him.  Hes so small and cute.  We had him in the house for a while because he was cold and wobbly.
