LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN
















I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH MCAFEE BUT THIS LAST POST HAS A PIC THAT SHOWS THEIR LOGO. ANYONE KNOW WHY? EVEN WHEN I BROWSE THE INTERNET SOME SITES ARE LIKE THIS ALSO. THE PIC IS FROM THE SAME DISK AS THE OTHERS. THIS POST IS TO SHOW THE PICTURE OF MY HUSBAND WORKING ON THE FOUNDATION FOR THE CHICKEN COOP. AS WELL AS PICTURES OF SOME OF OUR LITTLE BROOD OF CHICKS.
WE HAVE 2 TURKEYS, ONE WHITE ONE BRONZE. OUR CHICKS ARE AMERACAUNAS, WHICH LAY BLUE TO GREEN EGGS, BUFF ORPHINGTONS, SILVER LACED WYANDOTTES, ISA BROWNS, BLACK ASTROLORPES AND, RHODE ISLAND REDS.

BUSY BUSY

We have been very busy getting ready to erect the chicken coop. In the mean time Kaylee has kept herself busy with catching all kinds of critters. Here is one:





The week before she caught one of these:


I am telling you these are WILD!! Canadian Geese can get pretty nasty she is lucky they didn't attack her for snatching their little one day old chick!


The kids are quite amused with the baby chicks we brought home - this is one of the favorite little RIDES the chicks get once in a while.

TEA PARTY TOMORROW!!!

Well here it is already April 14th. Nearly 4 months since my last post but we've been terrribly busy. I have a couple assignments left and will be graduating May 5th (or6th) whichever is a Friday. We had a nice Easter and I now have drywall up and painted in my dining room. NEVER AGAIN will we do drywall, it nearly killed us. Although I am thrilled to have my pantry now in operation. I am still cleaning up drywall dust and have to get the dining room table back where it belongs. I did learn that I am sick of having so much stuff-move it here move it there-blah, blah, blah...it's another killer. Am gearing up for a yard sale whenever it decides to get decent enough to tolerate one.
We are planning on participating in our local Tea Party- we definately are Taxed Enough Already. It runs for 4 hours but I don't think our 6 year old can take it that long. I do want to go for a while at least. Hubby will be there longer with his older son, it's time we stop this nonsense in Washington and even locally. We watch every penny we spend and our public -so called servants- can't balance an office budget. Mr. Obama needs to realize he did not win by landslide-only by slightly more votes and we need security and morals-not more legislation. I find it completely apalling that nearly every member of his cabinet has fishy smelling backgrounds-with improprieties every where you look. They get caught on tape doing something and then claim they didn't do it. Like he didn't bow to the other ruler-Obama is supposed to be so educated-so how could he be so stupid??? Liars can not be trusted and shouldn't be tolerated.


I have come to terms with the fact that this great nation The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ONE NATION UNDER GOD, may have seen her better days and it grieves me to think that my children will suffer for the sins of the rulers that have been elected to serve us. We need to teach our children as much of the Word of God as possible and prepare them for HIS honor. This reminds me of the song we sang as children " I may never march in the infantry ride in the calvery, shoot the artillery. I may never fly or'e the enemy but I'm in the Lord's army. " We should be doing this anyway but the turbulance of the end times is closing in upon us and we need to be prepared.

On a lighter note we have decided to get some laying hens, so our next project is to put up the shed we bought to house them in and figure out how we lay out the fencing and soforth. The chicks should be here in about 2 weeks. We ordered 2 turkeys, silverlaced wyandottes, easter eggers, Rhode Island reds, and black astrolorps. This should be fun and we realize it's alot of work, but hey why not???

Christmas Goodies

I know it has been forever since I posted last. Classes really got me bogged down, but now this semester is over and I aced them so I can relax and enjoy until Jan.Can you believe that Christmas is just around the corner???
I sure can't I have spent the last two weeks baking banana breads, oatmeal raisin cookies, sugar cookies, toffee peanut, and ginger cookies. Tomorrow I just may make some apple cookies that I spied a recipee for.
Tomorrow I will post of pics of gifts made for Christmas gifts.
Looks like I'll be unwrapping that apron I whipped up today so I can get a picture of it.
Take care Merry Christmas!

THE FUN OF LABOR DAY

I can hardly believe the kids have been in school for two weeks already. I started classes again just this week. I had 2 classes left to finish my AS in accounting, but the criteria changed and now I have 4 left. BUMMER!!! So now my mission is to get it over with. I am currently in Macroeconomics and Public Speaking. Next is Quick books and Life Skills (can you believe at my age I have to take a life skills class? I really think I should teach it)
Anywho, Kaylee is now a first grader and Titus is in kindergarten. Both are doing very well. Titus has tested at the top of his class for counting, letter( upper and lowercase) recognition and knowing their sounds. Very impressive for being autistic. Poor little fellow missed two days this week due to a cough and low fever.
Naturally our garden is just starting to really produce and I have tons of projects, like the impending load of homework yet to arrive. I've canned salsa(2batches), green beans(4qts.), several batches of pickles, and also several quarts of summer squash with tomato and onion. Oh yes and a batch of pickled beans. Now I'm staring at half bushel of tomatoes, and a couple dozen cukes. I have a class tomorrow night, kindergarten duty friday morning and we leave for camping Friday night. basically that gives me one morning. Maybe I'll flip a coin to decide what to do next, even though I know the tomatoes are probably the ripest. Take care!!!
