New Neighbor…

We have a new neighbor… but not your typical neighbor. Our new neighbor is a horse that has come to live in our neighbors field. I think it is a buckskin and she is so pretty. When I went out and stated talking to her from a ways away she started towards me in a little gallop. She came over the hill and I … Read More New Neighbor…
Never ending snow…
by Seasonsgirl
More snow today… More predicted for Wednesday and Thursday… I think the Olympics have caused the excess snow this year to keep us all in a Winter Olympics mood. At least the bird are enjoying full feeders and this woodpecker is a frequent visitor. He seems to like the soot blocks best. Bad thing about the snow is it is covering all the ice … Read More Never ending snow…
More snow?
by Seasonsgirl
I have been sick. It’s been a couple years since I have been sick and I am not happy. I have almost lost my voice (hubby may be happy about that)… but it makes it hard to keep up with the house, animals, and just getting things done. Hubby has been helping out, my mom and step-dad were up this past weekend for step-dads … Read More More snow?
First of January Snow
by Seasonsgirl
Thursday as I was coming home from work it started to snow. By the time I got home and situated it looked like this… The flakes were so big at times, when they landed on your clothes you could actually see them, as they didn’t absorb into clothing quickly. It was so cold too that things just froze right away… And the snow kept coming… Even … Read More First of January Snow

How lovely are your branches. Without fail every year since hubby and I got married (and when I was a child) we have gone to get our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year was the same and the last few years my mom and step-dad have gone with us… which was great. We got to the tree farm about an hour before … Read More Oh Christmas Tree… O Christmas Tree…

What a great weekend…
by Seasonsgirl
We had a great weekend at our place. Hubby’s sister and her family came to visit. This included her hubby, two boys, and their dog Manny a 7 year old schnauzer.

Hay Feeling

What a long week. So much to do and no time for sleep. It has also been one HOT week with terms in the upper 90*’s and with the humidity felt in the 100*’s.

Chicken Keeper…

Being a chicken keeper is not as easy as it sounds. Like any animal there are daily decisions about care, feed, shelter, etc. Today dilemma was about clipping the new chickens flight feathers as they keep escaping their area and the concern is that our neighbors dogs or other wild animals will get them. As I said the other day, they are safer inside the area we … Read More Chicken Keeper…

Our buff chicks have grown so much over the last three months… they are almost the size of the Rhode islands. It is still fun to watch them copy the Rhode Islands and learn to eat new things. They also have learned how to jump the fence…Not something I wanted them to learn so we are working to break them of… but don’t think … Read More Jumping Chickens
