Chickens......

It's common knowledge that I like chickens...
I don't have the live kind.....we don't eat enough eggs to justify the cost..
But I have chickens or a chicken in every room of the house...
Sooooo
For Mother's Day CityBoy decided I needed chickens for the yard...
Here's the backyard Rooster...
It took me almost two weeks to figure out where I wanted Roo to spend his days...
Do we go with the front porch or the downstairs patio...?
Nope...can't really see him from there...
Does he go in the front yard with the bird feeder and flag pole...
Nope .....can't really be seen from there either...
Ahhhhh  Haaaaaa......!!!
Backyard....by the rock pile...
 
 
We can see him.....Mom & Dad can see him....
You can even see him from the road....
and Lula's made friends with him....!!
Perfect place...

Ever Wonder....

why "real" Christmas trees cost so much?
It's because.....
everything is done by manual labor...
From planting seedlings to mature tree harvest...
In the eight years we've lived in the high country,
I've seen them fertilize using a helicopter just once...!!

Throw Back.....


This time of the year in 2013 we had soooo much rain the high country was under a flash flood watch and the park had waterfalls....
Yesterday the MaleChild  registered for his education classes...this starts his journey toward his Master's.
When he finally finishes (key word finish) he'll have a degree in Psychology, Education and a master's in Special Ed.   I hope he can find a job....he'll have all the letters behind his name...!!

Big Hair Era

Yesterday my daughter surprised me by posting this picture on Facebook...
Whoaaaa.....
This was my grandparents 50th Anniversary!
The FemaleChild was 6 months old....that's her on the right in my mom's arms and that's me on the left...this was taken in the fall of 1979....and Yep!!...she's as bald as a billiard....
I'll never see that weight or hair again..
....where did the time go?

All are Healthy, Wealthy and Wise...

The Vet visit went great...
After the Vet and all the girls stopped kissing the pups,
they were all pronounced AOK..

They are: Healthy - puppy shots and dewormer given.
Wealthy - little freeloader are costing us big $$$ in feed.
Wise - they've got us wrapped around their little paws.

Three go to their "forever homes" today....
I'm gonna miss'um

Nope...!

This strange wood pile condo is just not what I'm looking for in a new home...
the neighbors are red with long furry tails....
Maybe the next one will be better...

Stocking up.....

Here we are barely into Spring and the park is already stocking up for this coming winter....
We're building a new overlook and many....many....trees needed to be cleared...
The chunks of woods will sit here to "season" and then they will be cut into smaller pieces that will fit into the wood stove...
Nothing goes to waste up here in the high country...!!

The pups make their first visit to see the cute vet today...
and
three have already found their "forever homes"...
they will be leaving this weekend....

We're Back.....

Safe and Sound...

Well maybe...
Ya gotta count the over worked brain cells...
the loaner laptop, new Netgear boxes, and repaired hard drives that came home with us...
Hope these take care of the computer problem at the park...

It's was a fast and furious 2.5 days...
