Well yes I still do check the blog now and again. Fourth of july was awesome and we certainly never run out of things to do at this time of year. The weather has been brutally hot.....but I think we will get a break from it soon. Stopped in to say hi and hope everyone is doing well and had a great holiday!

Catching Up

Well I just had to pop in and let you know we are all still alive. The holidays were great and I hope everyone's were as well. Very odd weather going on here, it's january and its 70. Well I can't complain, it beats shoveling snow. I went shopping today and I almost fell over backwards at the prices I'm seeing. They have sky rocketed and I'm sure the rise in gas the past few days just fueled the fire...pun intended lol.  Let's hope we get a break in this crazy world soon. Enjoy!

Having A Blast In the Pool

I will have to say my favorite thing this summer is swimming in the pool with Holly. She is my 1 year old lab, who lovessss the it. She cant get enough. At first she was scared, but I really have been working with her and she has come a long way. She loves to sit on a chair in the pool and I will have to get a picture of that next. So don't try to go swimming without Holly in this pool, it will never work! Have a great summer!

It's Baby Chick Time

I absolutely love this time of year! We always go to the local feed store and pick up the new chicks. Now don't think this is like going to get a gallon of milk....oh no it is not. We call ahead , days mind you, to see when they will be coming. I made the mistake the first time by not doing this and I got there after they were all gone. Well we went and waited in line and it was well worth it. They are the cutest little peepers! They are five weeks old now and are going to their new home in the barn this weekend. I don't think anything beats a fresh egg.

Beauty In Your Back Yard

I was on the deck last night and I had to run back in and grab my camera. What a beautiful sight it was right in front of me. The weather was cold enough to need mittens....but this..this was so wonderful I had to share it with you. So if your life is in the fast lane, or you don't have time to look around..step outside with your coffee and enjoy what you have right in your back yard.
