The kids took pictures

Rosebud took a picture of my "forget me nots."

and one of my prickly bushes that have great color and a name that slips my mind at the moment

little man captured the black locust trees

and a magnolia that came from a rare tree my mother bougt me years ago, it's name is "Pinky".

Rosebud got the best picture of Edith.

The little man got a great picture of the Oak tree in the front yard.

and I wish I had a better zoom on my camera so I could do our pelicans justice.

Turkey lungs

For the scientists out there, this is a picture of a turkey lung. It has a spongy feel to it.

When's lunch?

In 6 more weeks the table will look a little less feathered. YUM!

The Garden / Weed Patch

The hard way to make hay (this is Dear):


Me using the brush hog (much easier):

Gotta spread all that manure (Chicken, pig, sheep, and llama)

The birdies are having fun finding crickets

Cute Little Winged Things

Although lacking in brain cells, these turkies are really funny. Watching them stalk a fly is more fun than Friday Movie Night.


When the camera flash went off all of the babies stretched their necks and opened up for food. We must have a dozen or more of these nests in this barn alone. Barn swallows raise a couple nests of birds each summer.

Maybe one day I will get up the courage to photograph the bats.
