I love the moon...

 ...and the moon loves me...

however...

I was awakened the other night by Louis crowing

at 3:00 AM

and in the still of the night I could hear them calling...

yap yap yap yap yap yap!

 maybe I should think one of these...

the coyote fence...sweet huh!

 We all know about this huh...

 ...and this...

 The beauty and the cunning will outlast us all,

as the wiley coyote still roams

in spite of man...!

This one's for you Dad!

Single handed...woman...

 Skylines Farm

Melissa Lines has followed her dream...

she bought the farm.

 You have to learn that it takes a passion and strengths

that you thought you never had,

but you will...

if you follow your heart!

 No chemicals and free range...

are we finally getting it...?

 This is where I want to go on my summer vacation...

At age 60, Melissa conducts workshops on the farm,

farm immersion projects that you can attend, 

no money changes hands, you share the load and learn...

I've always wanted a goat, for milk and cheeses...

don't worry Mom, it's still a dream...LOL!

If you're a farmer wannabe, read Mary Janes Farm...

the article is great and inspirational!

Have you had one of those dayz...

 Well, I was visiting Sassy Trash yesterday, left a comment

and went back to my blog...

and it was gone...lost...taken away!!!

All it said was 'blog was removed'...

by who, certainly not me!

Curiouser and curiouser!

 But miraculously it cured itself and all is well...

happy dance!!!

 Weathering storms is all part of the game

you can't change fate, but you can seek an alternative...

Have you joined Pinterest yet...

it's changing the course for me!

Sumthin' amiss...ouch...

 This is what greets me every afternoon...but...

 somthin' is a fowl(no pun intended)

this egg is huge, must be a double yolker...no yolk!

My daughter is eating a lot of my eggs these days,

I'm gonna shock her with this one!

One of my hens is a biggen, this could be hers.

My 3 dogs cancelled yesterday,

coming in today...so I had the whole day to 

frolic and follow my flock in their daily routine...

whilst I frolicked in mine...

the drought this summer yield tiny sprouts, but I managed

to fill a gallon bag of them for the freezer, I

love them in winter soups and such...

a day in the life, now to prepare for the 4 yorkies

coming today...argh...!

Uh Oh...

 I'm lucky to have friends that feed my inner soul...

they know what it is you crave

they know how you roll

another sicko perhaps...

thanks again Brandon

my favorite head-hunter...

I'm really diggin' these porcelain heads

you can really get a feel with them,

my next project!

 I heart Etsy,

what great stuff to browse through!

Bride of Chuck perhaps...

I may have to use the whole doll for this project,

tis the season 

to be afraid...

Shadow Shot Sunday...me n my shadow...

Scratchy...the cute-meister...

the joy in my day

and the pain in my ass

but I wouldn't have her any other way!

Shadow Shot Sunday here...

 Groom four dogs...

 make a gazillion batches of soap...

your lavender will be shipped tomorrow TOT...

Sometimes, ya just gotta have fun...

 Like my new biz card holder...

hey, ya gotta have fun...right!!!

Thanks Brandon for the new toy...heehee...

 My Grandbaby and his new 2010 Corola...

and his first bank loan on his very own credit,

SWEET!

It's what keeps the economy going in spite of all the crap...

the rich will always be rich

and life goes on!

Sunrise and a day trip...

 Sun up, as me and the heathen back out of the drive

into our Autumn...

 Frost on the pumpkins...

 as the fog lifts over the bluff and the red wings fly...

 Iowa...

 Vague hints of frosting in the tree tops...

 Barges and duck blinds dotting the Mighty Miss...

My truck waits at the ready as me and the heathen explore...

an Autumn Sunday in Iowa.

Shadow Shot Sunday...shadow on shadow...

 shadow

 on shadow...

on shadow...

Now you must trek on down to Australia to see the rest of them,

have a great weekend friends!

Hey, Harriet
