I can’t stand the suspense any longer!

I am slowly going insane… well that’s besides the point, what I mean is today I am going nutso with the secret I have been holding in for a week! That’s the awful thing about having your parents read your blog, you can’t spill the beans, can’t let your bloggy friends in on anything because […]

Good for the soul! Our First visit to the Lake in 2010

Somehow my brain just skipped right over Wednesday so I missed out on posting my planned Wordless post! I knew I should have scheduled it in! I couldn’t wait until next week to share these fun lake pictures with you though. Last week my daughter’s friend called up late in the afternoon to go to […]

Fly away Butterfly… Fly away!

Whew! It’s dusty around here, pardon me while I brush away all of these cobwebs! I have to admit that since the kids have been home from school my poor blog has been neglected. It seems there is always another dish to wash, load of laundry to do or grass strewn all over the house […]

Happy Father’s Day!

I’ve been so very blessed to have had two wonderful Dads in my life. Both loving, caring men who would give the shirt off their back (literally) to those in need. Both men who have helped me through things I’ve faced as a child and a woman. Who have helped my family when we’ve been […]

not so Wordless Wednesday – My Egg Makers

Thank you dearies for leaving me your speckled multi-hued surprises everyday.For soft clucking, loud cackling and kamikaze chicken stunts to escape to “the other side” I love you for relentlessly destroying my moss roses and scratching the mulch out of the flower beds.I know you think it looks better scattered across the lawn. Bless your […]

Pie’s Ponderings – Butterfly Raising for Summer fun!

Pie’s pretty excited about finally getting to break out her Butterfly House  Treehouse this Spring. She had won it at the Chinese Auction her school held last fall and was so disappointed when I had to tell her it would need to be put up until warmer weather. We sent away the $6.00 for shipping […]

Wordless Wednesday – Swinging into Summer vacation

Does this scream Freedom or what? I think Pie’s enjoying summer so far :)

Cleopatra the Cat had a very surprising surprise!

Cleo the Cat was not just fat as I had thought. She had been, in fact, hiding something sweet and cute and precious. Two little bundles that look just like their mother :)Kittens arrived on June 3rd! Ginger now feels her mission in life to is guard over Cleo and the kittens. She really hates […]

Gabby and the three chicks explore the world!

Friday I let Gabby take her three chicks she hatched out of the brooding cage for the first time. It’s a hot day and they’ve been cooped up for a week, some fresh air will do them good! I was a bit worried about the other banties picking on them, that’s what chickens do, but […]

Ducklings may not be the best dinner guests, but they sure are cute!

I took a few dozen pics today of all the cuteness happening around here lately. I’ll post some of those throughout the next week (chickies tomorrow!) For today though I HAD to let ya’ll see just how adorable and funny these little ducks of ours are. Someday I’ll get smart and use the actual video […]

Last day of school! Where did the year go?

I had just come in from picking a few rose petals off of my bush when I noticed my daughter’s glasses and my son’s derby car just sitting in the middle of the table. A dusting of petals made for the perfect end of school memories photo :) Next year our son will venture off […]
