Friday Fun

A neighbor hauled in a couple loads of topsoil for us so we can try once again to fix the grading along the little creek that has never gotten established (see previous entry re: grass). I moved the sheep out to the creek field to keep them away from the shed construction on the other side of the barn. Put the two together?

Ewen McTeagle joins in. You know you're in trouble, Rebecca Boone, when the sheep lumbering up the hill below you is still taller than you ;-). Remember, you can click the label "Ewen McTeagle" below and see pictures from when he was small enough to be carried around.

Sunshine makes a run at the reigning Queen of the Hill.

And sends everyone packing.

Like It Could Get Any Better Than Sheep AND Christmas Lights

Here's a gift from a comment on yesterday's post. I almost had a computer/coffee incident watching this...



Thanks Julene!!!

And while I'm letting the intertubes write my blog for me today, I'll share this as well.

If you are not familiar with the lolcats icanhascheezburger site you really must go check it out.

Have fun out there today :-D.

Stay Off My Grass

I may be the crazy sheep lady, but I'm the psycho lawn lady. In fact, it's really so embarrassing that I'm just not going to say any more about it and I don't even want to know what Saint Tim was thinking about when he got home the other night and saw this.



There's always an exception (usually involving little old ladies) to the laundry list of yard rules...and yes, it's a laundry list. There are rules about trucks, cars, tractors, ATVs, limbs down, fertilizer, chemicals (NONE!), how long a corn hole game can stay in one place, chickens, sheep, mowing patterns (a whole sub category!), lawn clippings.........).



This is my favorite lawn picture. Miss Ewenice (another cute little old lady) from a few years ago.

And doesn't that lawn look luscious? ;-)

Location, Location, Location

Or how I noticed we cheat spring just a bit.

I've been watching (and photographing) the pussy willow and forsythia blooming off the corner of the back porch.



Didn't really think too much about it until yesterday, when I noticed none of the other forsythia is blooming yet.

The blooming bush is located in a sheltered corner next to the greenhouse. The dryer also vents out next to it, but I'm pretty sure I don't do enough laundry for that to make a difference ;-).



Comby and Brushy look pretty happy with their location this morning, too.

A Day In The Life...

...of a sunflower sprout in the greenhouse.







And not just any day, but...you guessed it...FRIDAY!!!
