Tuesday, August 12, 2008 "Momma, there's a .....
HORSE in the backyard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This is who showed up at our house this morning. We have no idea where he came from. No one on our road recognizes or owns him. Sooo, for now he's inside the fence until we can find out where he belongs.
Jeff asked me "building an ark" Momma? He's funny isn't he?!?
Oh well, as you can see, things are just an ordinary Tuesday morning here.
Blessings,

Sunday, August 10, 2008 WE CAUGHT HIM!!!!!
Oh my goodness, I could hardly believe it when I went out to the car to put something away in it and I saw the peacock again! This time he was right up against the fence in the back yard. I don't know how he snuck by the dogs next door but he did! Jeff came out with a slice of bread and the girls were at the back door. I managed to put the dog kennel (I should call it just a kennel I guess because the dogs don't use it anymore) right along the fence without spooking him.
He walked right into the kennel!!
Mark got home pretty much right after this. He and I took Jeff with us in the truck and went to the feed store to buy him a bigger house. We found a 10 x 10 chain link kennel for him. Here's the gang putting it together...
And, here's Joseph in his new digs! It's so very cool to look out the sunporch window and be able to watch him. When he thinks no one is looking he seems very relaxed.
Well, this is what we've been up to this weekend! I hope you have had as pleasing a weekend!
Blessings,

Sunday, July 27, 2008 Never dull...
Hello all...
As usual things have been busy around here. Yesterday afternoon, Jeff, Mellie and I were at the library when my cell rang. It was Mark calling to let me know that THIS was in our yard...
Isn't this an awesome bird?!!?
We have no idea where it came from. It stayed around long enough for me and the kids to get home and see it in person. Mark and Amanda had been watching it for a while. It left through the barbed wire a little after we got home. The kids followed it for a little, trying to see if they could persuade it to come back to our place. It almost worked. Jett, our neighbors lab wanted to see what the kids were up to and that's when the peacock took off.
Sooo, now we're looking into finding out how hard they would be to raise here.
Blessings all,
Leigh-Ann |

Tuesday, July 1, 2008 Grapes, grapes, grapes...
Sooo, grapes were on sale today when we ran by the store to grab mushrooms and onions for dinner. We grabbed about 20 pounds since they were less than half of what they usually are. Twenty pounds of grapes you say. (Some might say that I'm crazy) I've got them in the dehydrator on the sunporch as we speak! I had to run out and buy the rest of the trays for it even. I'm hoping to be able to put my homemade raisins in the pantry and for less than what I could by them for.
We also butchered the first of our Partridge Rocks today. We had some of the meat in a chicken cacciatore casserole I made up and also got 2 quarts of meat and 2 quarts of stock canned and they are cooling on the counter. The next 4 birds are cooling from the crockpots and we'll toss them in the canner in the morning. The meat had so much flavor. I'm so excited that we've been able to take this next step this year.
Well, that's what we've been up to today.
Have a blessed night,
Leigh-Ann |

Saturday, June 28, 2008 A "Grammie" picture...
I sent a copy of this picture to our Grammie who's far away and not online. I thought it turned out great and felt like sharing.
Enjoy your afternoon!!
