Homesteader Farms

Happy Monday everyone!!!  Did you have a good weekend?   The Mister and Hotrod were out of town for the weekend, since Hotrod had a ISDE Race (dirt bike race) that he was in.  The girls and Bubba stayed home and hung out with me while we got Firecracker ready to head off to outdoor school this morning.
My sweet friend, Michelle and her lovely husband Neil, have their very own animal farm.  I work with Michelle and she has been telling me all about the baby animals on her farm.  We have been trying to get out there to see the babies before they get too big.  We went and visited them last year and those babies and even got to help take care of some of the babies when they went out of town on trip...the kids LOVED it.
So, we went to go visit their farm, while The Mister and Hotrod where out of town for a race.
When we pulled up we were immediately greeted by Cletus the turkey aka The Flirt.  He ruffled his feathers and even stomped a little matting dance for us.  He was hilarious.
Our new buddy, Lambchop, was anxious to be feed. He kept baaa-ing at us and was wondering where his food was. Farmer Neil brought out a bottle for Lambchop and each of the kids got to feed him. He was so hungry. Just gobbling the food up and noisy about it, like a newborn baby.
 
 

Gina, Momma Goat, greeted us with her babies, Alvin, Simon, and Ted (Theodore was just too serious for this little goat). 
 Alvin was a little camera shy, as you can see he looked in the opposite direction while their picture was being taken.
George, Papa Goat, telling Bubba some story, or checking him out, or both.
Gina fell in love with Baby Girl and I think the feeling was mutual. Baby Girl is going to be our little veterinarian, I can see it already.  She loves all animals and wants to care for them all too.   :)
After all the little babies were feed and good to go we just HAD to go visit Moose, the ram and Norman, the bull.  As soon as the feed bucket was shook, they came r u n n i n g from the back hillside.
Norman is the most docile bull I've ever met.  Not that I've met a lot of bulls in my lifetime.  I've met none, but uh hello?  Running of the bulls, anyone?!?  :)  Kidding...just kidding.

He was just a goofy, over sized dog. Moose, baby Lambchop's pop, is Norman's BFF. Those two head butt each other, rough house around, and chase each other.

Bubba chose a nice calming color to wear for a bull, didn't he?
So much fun to watch.

We have a great time visiting our friends. The kids talked all about their favorite things on the way home. Which animal they liked more....who they liked to feed....who was the friendliest...their favorite part of the visit.
All of it.
 
***This is not a commercial farm, not a visiting petting farm either, just our friends who let us visit them and their animals on a sunny day.

Hey Girl!

Image
We've all seen the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" memes that are all over Pinterest.  Well, these Five Fabulous bloggers are hosting a "Hey Girl" link party;  View Along The Way , Decor and the Dog , Bliss Ranch , Two Twenty One and Domesic Imperfection .  This is a fun way to show some Valentine's Love for my main man.  Anyone, who knows The Mister and I, knows that we are in such love that we are inseparable.  I thought this would be easy, you know, since I've been with The Mister, for-ever.   But it was a little harder than I thought.  Trying to find the perfect picture to go with the perfect "Hey Girl" was a little tricky, too.  However, once I got into my groove, I could have done a gazillion more of these. How do you not fall in love, even more, with a man that falls asleep with their babies? Cheers baby!  You love me and you know it!   Happens every. Single. Time. I rent a movie Working on it, ...

ORC: Week One - Built-Ins & Overthinking

Image
 Well, here we are at week one of the One Room Challenge and I have officially wasted a full week overthinking my base cabinets.   I was so excited.  Ordered them online from The Home Depot, got curbside pick up.  Got them home and placed them in their new spots and instant buyers remorse.   What had I done?   I started sending pics to those closest to me and asking their opinions.  The icing on the cake was when the hubby got home and immediately said, "Holy smokes those things are HUGE!" I went on Instagram Stories and asked for your opinions, which was 50/50, so that didn't help at all....hahaha    I  then started using painters tape to fuel my vision.  I am such a visual person that I really need to see that what was currently in my home was not too large, cumbersome, bulky, and literally ruining my vision for built-ins.    I asked friends to check it out when they stopped by.  Friends!!!  It ...

Back to School....Back to Blogging

Image
Hey, hey, hey....I can not believe it's been nearly 5 months since my last post! 5 months!   That's forever.  Nearly 1/2 of this year.  So, far, that is the entire length of my employment at my new job.  See where I'm going?  Lots have happened in 5 months.  Unfortunately, just not lots around the  house, like I had been hoping for.  I think I had to glorious idea in my head that I would be able to get about 3-4 posts, consisting of projects, crafts, recipes, what have you, up on the blog each week.  I really did.  And then....reality hit. And it hit hard.    Blogging takes a lot of time.  It's enough that the projects take time, but then to add blogging to it.  Wow, was I ever delusional.  I don't blog for income, I blog for friends and family, mostly those out of town, to see what has been happening in and around our family.  So why put that stress on myself? ...
