This weekend was full of so many things that I love! The boys (my husband and son) camping out under the stars, birthday parties, visiting with friends and family, and then WHAM! we were hit like a ton of bricks with fevers, chills, and other yucky stuff. That’s the part that I am far from Read More
It started easy enough as a fun break in our morning playing with Ranger. We raced Ranger for on our golf cart around the circle in our driveway, until I had to call it quits or fall out the side of it from sheer dizziness. Here’s how the game is played: We are in Read More
On our way back home from visiting Thomas the Train in Chattanooga, we stopped by to pick up the newest member of our family. He was wrinkled and cuddly and if you’d never been around English Bulldogs, you could easily mistake him for a member of the pig family. A distant cousin maybe. Little Read More
Yesterday, Little Buddy and I took Ranger outside to play Frisbee for a little while and run off some of that amazing energy they both have. As we played, I realized that boys and dogs have an awful lot in common. Nine year old boys and five month old puppies really are pretty close Read More
Our new baby chicks started hatching on the 19th and continued on through the night and day on the 20th. Since we have all been home with the flu, we were all here to have ringside seats. My husband videotaped the hatching of one little fella I called Fred. But, I sure am hoping it’s Read More
Tinkerbell, my tiny tea cup poodle, turned four this past September. It’s hard to believe since she still weighs four pounds just like she did when she was a year old. She was bred to be a small dog, I know, but goodness gracious, she’s so tiny. She’s also pretty finicky. We joke that she Read More
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We had a fabulous weekend with family, eating too much great food, taking in the fleeting smells of puppy breath and enjoying a beautiful white Christmas. We picked up Little Buddy’s golden retriever puppy on Thursday and we’ve all been loving on him since. His paws hardly Read More
On our final morning in Walt Disney World, we received a call from our farm sitter. Bad news. Wild dogs had gotten into the pen. That’s never news you want to hear on a farm. Wild dogs and coyotes are just not really welcome guests, but seem to find their way onto our land from Read More
Roosters and I aren’t exactly the best of friends. I know they know I’m a bit scared of them. They can sense it, I tell ya. I must smell of fear. And Salt & Peppah, well, he can smell fear on me before I ever leave the house headed to the coup. And as soon Read More
It’s Pets Only for this week’s photo challenge at I Heart Faces. And just look at this face I’m entering! Who could possibly resist this face!?! Bubba is my slobbery, smellier son… er… English Bulldog. He loves my bacon, eggs, and sometimes even helps me out with that early morning sacrificial pancake. You know that Read More
Making your own seedling pots is a great afternoon activity for the entire family and a wonderful way to get children excited about gardening. With a stack of newspapers, a can or water bottle, and a few minutes, you’ll be ready to add your potting soil and seeds before you know it. Read More
I absolutely love cooking with fresh herbs – they enhance the flavors of an otherwise ordinary and even bland tasting dish and make it shine. Before we moved to the “farm” as we like to call it, we lived in a subdivision where the yards were about as big as a postage stamp. It Read More
