Ice

I hope this is the last we see of the winter, I’m looking forward to the warmer days. We had a wintry mixed on Monday and this morning we had a sheet of ice covering everything. It was warm today in comparison to yesterday so the icicle didn't stay very long. I’m glad I was…

Quails Calling

It has been about 3 weeks since I took these photos of the quails. They live outside and have heating lamp to keep them warm at night. Ideally I think we need to live in a farm, I started looking last year but couldn't get Bo and Lee sold on the idea that living in…

Snow

It snowed on Tuesday January 28th, and it's our first snow since February 2012. This was Lee first time using her snowboard that she received as a Christmas gift in 2011. As I'm listing these dates, I can't believe it is 2014 already, time has flew by.  I never knew the snow could be this…

4 week old quails

We finally moved the 4 week old quails to their new home. Max is excited, this made me think of the tweety bird and the pussycat, but in Max and the quails' case, it must be the Lao version. I got up early this morning to sew drape for the bird cage, hopefully it will…

Snow in March

My Peach blossom. I planted…

Meet Maple

Maple is from Kentucky and she comes to visit one of our neighbors every year, her owner is our neighbor's daughter. Bo, Lee and Max met Maple before but this is my first time meeting her. She is a Weimaraner just like max, and a bit smaller in size. She is a beauty. Maple is…

Homemade Pizza for Dinner

Lee and I have been wanting to make homemade pizza for awhile and the first batch was awful.  I think it looked more like pan pizza rather than a normal homemade pizza. We have come a long way since then, and have gotten a lot better, but I still don't know how to toss pizza…

The Last Few Flowers

I'm looking forward to a long weekend, and left work early today.  It's nice to see daylight when I got home, something that I took for granted during the long Summer days. I still have a few flowers in my front yard, not something that you would typically see in a cold Autumn evening. I…

Halloween 2012

[vimeo https://vimeo.com/52591715 w=515&h=290] Click here to watch this video on YouTube This year Lee decided at the last minute to dress up for Halloween, and I guess she wasn't the only one because we waited 30 minutes in line to get her costume.   She was Friday the 13th Miss Voorhees, Lee was clueless as to…

Sunday Random Photos

I've been absent from my blog lately, I'm still here but have been busy with home improvement projects in the evenings and camping on the weekend. It's nice to stay home this weekend, and I saw this baby bird outside my window this morning.  He must have left his nest too early, his mom was…

Mid Summer Garden

It has been a while since I updated my garden and this year my pickle cucumbers didn't do too well and I was surprised to see one grew in the middle of the garden. My sweet basil is doing well, I planted some in pots and a few in raised bed. The cherry tomato plants…
