All in A Day

I had just settled down on the couch to eat my lunch and catch a few pages of a book I’m reading, when Ramona screamed, “nooooo.”  CP looked at her and as quick as he could, got rid of the evidence.  Unfortunately the “evidence” in question was a raw egg.  Splat went the egg.  And [...]

Goodbye Copper

Our cute Holland Lop passed away on Friday.  I think it was heat stroke.  We were gone in the morning and it had gotten hot out.  Daddy’O had moved copper out from under our back patio cover a few days back because there were so many flies.  We have our other rabbits covered from the [...]

A New Computer Screen

Daddy’O told me that he won something at work and to clean off the computer desk before he got home.  Hmmm, what could it be???
Well, he came home with a 22″ computer flat screen monitor.  It is HUGE.  I think it is going to make my eyes bug out.  Its almost as big as our [...]

PaperCutting*Scherenschnitte*Kirie

The kids and I were looking at paper cutting techniques and came across this video. Even if you don’t like paper cutting, you have to play it just for the music. Close your eyes and picture the Swiss Alps:)  Maybe you’ll be inspired to take on a new craft!

Chicken or a Rooster?

Ramona and I were outside this morning when we heard a noise.  We both looked at each other with eyes as big as saucers, and ran towards the chicken coop.  What pray tell did we hear???  A “cocka-doodle-doo” that’s what!!!  We have no idea which chicken uttered the word, nor have we heard it since, but [...]

Cochin and Old English Blue Pullets

How do three chickens turn into 6? 
We are now the owners of 6 chickens.  We are technically only supposed to have three according to what information I could squeeze out of the city.  I don’t think there is a law about this, but it is strongly suggested to only have three chickens within the city [...]

4-H Pre-Fair Redemption

Today the kids were to participate in a pre-county fair show (no judging) to get them ready for the actual county fair in August.  We didn’t know what to expect, so they all decided that they didn’t want to participate and that we should go to observe only.  Actually, Ramona decided last night that she [...]

Quick On His Feet X’s Two

Today, to the kids squeals of glee, we put up our pool for the summer.  It isn’t really warm enough yet, but they have just been so anxious to get it up.  It’s one of those 12′x36″ or so metal frame jobs.  We got the metal frame instead of the soft side so our little [...]

In Utero Surgery*Miracle Story*Must Watch

Partial Birth Abortion is an ugly thing. Just the thought of it makes me cry. This miracle surgery and birth story will give you shivers and it will hopefully spread across the world to show young and old men and women alike that life is life- in utero or out.  It [...]

Skunked the First Time Out

The kids and I went fishing just outside of Estacada, Oregon today on Free fishing day.  We spent over three hours casting, tangling, snagging, cutting, and re-baiting our lines and maybe an hour fishing.  The kids had a blast though. It rained a little, but we were protected by the trees overhead.  The park ranger said [...]
