I'm Getting Ready...

I think that I'm getting ready for Fall! The garden is starting to look ragged. Some things are turning brown and starting to die and it's just getting about time.

We always know... we are so excited to see each new season as they come and go. Signs and changes bring seasonal changes. Kids are starting back to school. The fairs are over. The gardens are ending production. Soon, the leaves will change.

For now, we will enjoy what summer we have left because it won't be long!

He Is Exhalted, Great Is The Lord ...

World's Longest yard Sale...

Today, starts the World's Longest Yard Sale... it is 675 miles long on St. Rt. 127 from Michigan to Tenn. Four days to shop from August 5 to 8, 2010.

Great time to take a road trip and shop along the way!

More New Animals On The Block...

Well, now I'm the proud owner of five laying hens. My son just brought me a small chicken house and pen for the Rhode Island Reds. I love those chickens. Now, I need a rooster. Rhode Island Red roosters are fun to watch. They just strut around proud as a peacock.

I told my mother this morning, "If you know someone who needs to get rid of their goats, cow or pig... just send them my way." Joking!!! She just laughed.

We'll see how we get along with the chickens. If not there's always the stew pot!
Until then... the eggs will be much appreciated.

You know... a goose would be nice! lol!

Grab Yourself A Cup Of Coffee...

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and let's get this new week started right. How can we function without our coffee? We love our early morning coffee!

Well, a new week is before us and lots of things to get done... housework, gardening, visiting and business. Nothing really different and nothing really new... just work that needs to be done.

Well, yes, there is something new... kittens. I now have 9. Four around the house and five at the barn. Of course, one around the house is completely wild so it will probably end up at the barn with the others. Barn cats are great mousers. Right now, I'm working on keeping them happy at the barn.

The house cats (outsiders) will keep the mouse population down around the house. There are two little black ones and a gray one with white feet. Of course, I still have Tuluse, my white cat with blue eyes. She's a beauty!

The sad part of living in the country is the kyotes. They kill the cats. They are such a menace. I don't like to be out too much after darke because they come clear up into our garden area.
