Bumble Bee and Mega Tron

Just thought I would share a few pictures. Sorry I haven't kept up on my blog lately. Summer is a busy time on the farm! Lots to do when the grass is growing and the days are sunny =)

Onto the show!

Here is Bumble Bee, otherwise known as Little L.

Full body shot! I love the shoes =)

Herrrrrre's Mega Tron!

The boys love to make costumes out of cardboard. We have had to put a temporary stop to it however, because they do NOT love to clean up the resulting messes. And neither do I! LOL... I sure do love their imaginations though!

Don't Ya Just LOVE...

Garage Sales!!??

I do. Boy have I made some fantastic finds at the local garage sales. I also like hunting them down when I'm visiting places. It's fun to see what other people buy and then don't want. It's especially fun when it's something that I've been needing ;)

The chair I sit in every night is a garage sale find. It's a victorian style chair and I LOVE it!



I've found some beautiful picture frames at garage sales.

Some of my favorite books were garage sale finds.

Last week I found a Beijo purse and matching wallet at a garage sale for $2! They sell for $65-$95 dollars and this one looks almost brand new! WOW!

Here is a wonderful website that can help you find a garage sale in your area AND it's a great place to advertise if you are having a garage sale... Garage Sales Tracker.

What are some of the finds you've uncovered at a garage sale??

It's all in the Family!

My In Laws have a pretty little farm down south of us a ways. I went there the other day to take some photos of my Father-In-Law's sheep, called Soay Sheep. They are an interesting breed of sheep and he has quite a herd going now! He started with just 10 and now has close to 30 head. He wants to sell a few, so I took some pictures so I could advertise them for him. Beware... this is going to be picture heavy! I couldn't decide which ones to post, so I'm posting them all!

These are the Soay sheep. I told Angus to STAY OUT while I went in to take pictures. Did he listen to me?? NO! He couldn't imagine that I was safe without him hiding between my feet, barking his fool head off at the sheep. There is safety in numbers and they advanced on me to check out Angus... REALLY? A few of the rams got pretty close, but when I would stand up they would high tail it out of there! I was amazed at how brave they were though!

Here they are wondering what I'm doing...

They are advancing a bit... but not too close.... yet...

Wooop! Here he is! All man and very handsome with those impressive horns...

A young ram. He was right there, guarding the girls too!

One of the many ewes.

Mama and baby. You should see these babies when they are born. They are so tiny! About the same size as 7 pound Angus!

I just love this one's face. She is so pretty!

My Father-In-Law has a lot going on around his little farm. He has ducks, chickens, geese, dogs, the sheep and I'm sure something else up his sleeve ;) He also has a big garden with lots of yummy veggies and berries.

Here is a mama chicken with her brood. I love that one little yellow chickie! Mama Chicken takes her job very seriously. Angus thought he might take a look at the babies. Afterall he gets to look at our baby ducks and chicks. This mama said NO WAY as she flew at him squaking and screeching. Angus ran to me for safety. I told him he was on his own.

Here is the little Duck family. You can just barely see the little yellow duckling. This mama duck kept it on the move...

Isn't she a pretty mama duck though? And if you look very closely at the left hand side of this photo you can see the baby.

And here is the extremely handsome Daddy duck. I just love the colors they have on their heads! Now I'm hoping that we have at least one boy duck in our little bunch =)

I hope you enjoyed your tour of the animal life on my Father-In-Law's farm! I sure had a good time snapping photos =)

Angus Update!

It's been awhile since there has been an Angus Update! He is just as cute as ever and sooo smart. He is constantly thinking up ways to get us to play with him. He LOVES to play fetch and will play for hours. He wears me out before I wear him out!

He is also an avid little hiker. He even goes along with me when I take Destino out hiking in the mountains. He stays close to us and is very conscious of Destino's big feet. It's pretty cute to see him with us. A tiny little dog and a big huge horse =) He is constantly proving to be the best dog we've ever had!!!


And this is the sunset we had last night! WOW! It was just before the thunder and lightning storm hit. I LOVE thunder and lightning storms. They can be so exciting!

Everythings Duckie!

I finally got my duckies! I have wanted few for the last two years and Hubby said "NO". Soooo I decided, with the help of Little L and Big B, to just go to Quality Supply and get a couple, when Hubby was at work =) Pretty tricky right!?

These little fuzzies are so cute! I just want to carry them around in my pocket, but I think they might get squished, so instead I look at them all the time. We've had them for about a week and they are starting to not be so scared when we peek in at them. I also got two chickies because I thought two ducks would be lonely =) These little chickies will lay green and blue eggs! So I'll have my beautiful brown eggs with a few green and blue eggs tossed in. Yum!

We don't know if the ducks are girls or boys, but it really doesn't matter. They will be well loved either way!
