i get lost...

in the beauty of everything i see.

i do love to be home.

these clematis didn't bloom last year but they are making an impact this year.

our tractor has been out of commission for three weeks.
there are all kinds of things coming up in my yard i never knew existed.

buster can nearly disappear when laying down.

he is not a small dog.

we used the push mower for a while yesterday evening...until it quit

due to exhaustion...the mower not us.

we made trails so abbey could run through them.

our newest addition to the farm...minnie.

with the duck coop finished. we have been letting the ducks

and bunnies run around several times a day.

the dogs are fascinated by the critters at ground level.

so easily seen but not so easily gotten to.

rowan is especially curious.

tawny doesn't mind in the least.

sally and silver

and sam.

minnie meet rowan...

rowan meet minnie.

minnie meet silver.

and sally

that look says it all.

and with all this i had my own little entertainer.

singing up a storm.

really singing up a storm.
life is good...and on a farm even better.

THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!

hey gigi here I am! it's me maggie, maggs, magita, magpie. you name they call me it. it is so undignified. but being the loyal companion i am i answer. although my latest trick is to act like i am hard of hearing. don't tell MARMEE i told you.
marmee had to shut the door to get these pictures as i have a dreaded fear of the camera flash. i think it is lightning which is my worst fear. usually you can find me in abbey's bathtub during stormy weather.

i am already hunching over with excitement at my picture being made, NOT!
OF COURSE BUSTER BROWN DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONLY DOG LEFT OFF. SO HE GOT PUSHY AND PUT HIS FACE RIGHT IN MARMEE LENS.
THESE YOUNGEN'S AROUND HERE URK ME TO NO END. BUT AS YOU KNOW MARMEE HAS A WEAKNESS WHEN IT COMES TO DOGS, CATS, BIRDS, BUNNIES, ETC...

i overheard (still pretending not to hear so well) about a trip to the fair and how the pigmy goats were sooooo cute.
oh bother, before you know it they will be here, too!
