silly goose

I have the weirdest animals.  A skate boarding goose.  Who would have thought! 

Meet Miss Moo

We finally got a friend for Ice, our run away artist.  Meet Miss Moo.  She is a 6 week old heifer that is recovering from pneumonia.  She needs a good washing and A LOT of TLC, Which, I'm sure, she will get plenty of.  She was born on July 1st.
Not having a trailer, we had to improvise to go and get her.  Lucky me, I have a big truck.  Got her in the back of my suburban, she lied down, and stayed that way the whole way home, putting her head on my lap for some cuddles.

Here she is having a drink, i'm loving this farmer thing........

weird trees

If you walk across my yard, you can see all sorts of weirdly shaped trees.  If you sit there long enough, you can imagine different shapes living in there.  This one is my favorite.  I see the head of a cat, more like a panther.

a lot of rain, a lot of fun

Seems that this year it's been the year of thunder storms.  The come out of nowhere.  The garden is very thankful, and so are the geese.

The girls found this puddle to play in after the rainstorm.  Mosquitoes drove them out.

Cloudy with big rain storms, 24c

adopt-a-kitten

What was supposed to be temporary, turned into permanent.  I was brought an orphaned kitten, looking for a mother.  The poor thing was abandoned in front of a pet store.  He was just a tiny little thing, starving for food and attention.  We decided to try and put him with my female cat that had kittens already.  If it didn't work, it was ok, another bottle fed kitten. Ho well!

As it turned out, she accepted him like one of her own, right from the get-go.  He, and we fell in love.  He was quickly named Simba.  Thought it was appropriate, he had that face.
He is now a permanent member of our family, and he's here to stay!

Double pot of gold

Ever wish you could find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?  Is there really a leprechaun waiting there?  This was a very special moment.  We saw the clouds moving away during a rain storm, with bright sunshine on the other side.  We just knew there would be a rainbow.  We saw, color by color, a rainbow coming to life, starting with the purple, right into pink.  To our surprise?  A second rainbow appeared.
Now if only I could find the end of those, get my daughters to talk to the leprechaun into a stupor, so I can run away with the gold.......Then I wake up!

happy birthday to me!

Today is my 38th birthday.  It's a day like any other, but not to Audrey.  According to her, your birthday should be a very special day.  Adults shouldn't have to go to work on their birthdays.  They should spend the day having fun.  Which I do agree, but unfortunately, can't be done.
So starting at 6am, as she came running into my room to wish me a happy birthday, she's been giving little special treats.  Seeing as I don't get any presents on my birthday, she felt really bad about that, so the daycare kids and her picked up a bouquet of flowers for me, how thoughtful.  She's got such a big heart, she makes me proud.
