Heritage Hill Homestead

A week late...........but we have a winner!

I can't believe another week has gone by so fast!  Sorry, I have been busy and some stormy times, I always shut the computer down when it is stormy, so some evenings I have not been online.

Anyway.............the winner of my 100th blog contest is:  lancelotacres!

What a fun contest!

We don't have very many critters at all right now. I'll count our 4 steers that are being delivered tomorrow morning since they are technically ours. LOL

We have 17 critters. 8 cows, 2 chickens, 2 goats, 1 piglet, 2 Great Pyr dogs, 1 Jack Russel Terrier, 1 barncat....and a partridge in a pear tree....LOL. Ok, not really, I just couldn't resist.

Hugs,
Lisa <--who is tired just thinking about you taking care of all those critters! WOW!

Ok, I'm editing because I forgot to put my favorites. I think my favorites are the chickens. I never tire of their antics...

There were 13 enteries, some were by email not leaving a comment.  The number of critters ranged from 2 to 15,142!  (They have bees)

I simply chose the winner by drawing a name.  There were some very creative comments, such as from goofymama..........

Ok this is a post I posted a while back about my critter count. It's more for laughs then anything but I'll enter it in anyway. Just to make it official I'll say that our favorite is our dog Murphy. Well here it is. As previously posted on my blog. Thank you for even considering me lol.

I've always been a bit jealous of the blogs that have their cool critter counts on their side bars. You know the ones that have 3 goats, 2 horses, 10 chickens etc. Well I decided it was time for me to give you as accurate an account of our critters as possible. They will be a bit different as we do not live in the country as of yet but we love "most" of them just the same. Okay, here it goes:

10-15 squirrels

3-5 black snakes

1 rat snake

5-10 mole crickets

16-20 mourning doves

1 million mites on my hibiscus bushes

1000 mosquitos

300-400 lizards

100-150 wolf spiders

1 billion fire ants

10-15 skinks

25-50 geckos

1 cat (periodically)

1 iguana ( sited now and again)

and last but not least our 13 year old lab. Murphy

I'm sure I"m leaving some of our precious critters out but for now that's all I could account for. Now don't be jealous with our critter count. It took me awhile to get over all of yours and with therapy I'm sure that you will all be fine.

Blessings,
Kim

Thanks to all who entered, I enjoyed hearing about your favorite critters!
