Our Country Life


Life in the country sometimes involves sleeping in...

Aw!

Most of the time it involves getting up at the crack of dawn and working until sundown.

On this particular January day it was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 70's.

Everyone was enjoying being outside seeking new adventures.


This is China Doll... isn't she gorgeous?


Daisy was also getting into exploring 
Do you see those flowers in bloom?  

Spring is just around the corner

Eagerly waiting 

Jack Bull


Even our Llamas were excited about the nice day

And curious...

Anxious for new adventures.

Pahyon
Look at her lashes... beautiful baby!

Sweet Sebastian... our baby boy!

He just got back from the vet after recovering from an injury

What?  No Carrots?

Baby Cakes & Cinnamon

Wanna know a secret?  
*If you look past those trees just on the other side...
That is where we are building our home. 
Groundbreaking very soon

Baby Cakes

And just to show you what beautiful blue skies there were on this day.... 

Nice huh? 

Today the bird feeders were fixed up, repainted, filled with seed and hung.


Sometime in the near future I will post some pictures 
of all the birds that pay us a visit

Including Red Cardinals, Blue Jays, Bluebirds, Golden Finches, Titmouse and many others.  


They are so gorgeous and fun to watch.


And then there are people hard at work like DH here...

That's my guy!

On this day he was securing the fence line along the backside of our property.

And then at the end of the day we can relax on the 
front porch and gaze out at this view...


Breathtaking!



And that, my friends, is a sample of our life in the country of the Lone Star State 

And life in the country is pretty darn good!

Autumn on the Farm......

On Saturday I woke up to the most beautiful day so I took this picture to capture the moment. 

This is Autumn at the Farm...  


It was nice and warm and sunny. Sandals and Capri wearing weather! (I almost took a photo of me wearing my sandals, but I didn't).






And these are our Babies..... (Two of them anyway)
Meet Cinnamon and Baby Cakes




And this is Cesar
sunning in the pasture



I am so happy to say that it is December 1st (Already?) and I am still wearing my Sandals and Capri's... and I am not missing the snow at all!  

It is supposed to be cold and rainy over the weekend and into next week so I will enjoy this while it lasts!

Christmas is around the corner and soon there will be a ground breaking on our new home.  Can't wait to get started!  And.... my parents are coming for a visit!  They will be here on Sunday (if the weather and roads are decent).  

Lots to look forward to!  

Now I just need to finish the Christmas shopping and start the baking and the candy making.  

What are you looking forward to?

My Heart Hurts


On Sunday, we lost our sweet bird, Pablo, due to an accident that caused him to die.  One second he was coming downstairs to hang out with us and the next he was just gone.  For those of you who have pets that are like your children, you will understand how this hurts. 

We keep reliving the accident over and over and then we think about all the "what-ifs".  Why did this happen?

Our home will never be the same without this sweet bird.  He was my buddy.  His personality made me happy. 

We will miss the joy he brought to our lives.  We are very sad.   Our hearts hurt! 


Rest in peace, Pablo.  You will never be forgotten.
