Winter Is Coming..............


This afternoon's chores including cleaning all the troughs and refilling them...........

The girls were not amused with the time I took to feed them as I haven't let them out in the pasture the past couple of days. The farmers are starting on the corn fields and it has been very windy and cold, so the horses have impatient waiting for dinner as evidenced by the looks on their faces. Cracks me up!

Miss Mina Moo was out with me as were the other dogs, she looked so cute, miss fatty dog!

A few years ago, Stephen, Zoe and I chose and painted our own bird houses and I screwed them up on the outside wall of the garage. I am pleased to announce that my bird house actually has birds in it. You can see the grass pieces if you look closely besides of which as I walked by it, a bird flew out of it at me........Ha! Stephen's and Zoe's remain empty. Hee Hee!

Our newest resident is this handsome, yet ferrel Tuxedo Kitty, who has moved into our downstairs. He sits in the sill all day and sneaks upstairs to eat the cat food and drink the water on the counter in the kitchen after we've all come up the third floor for the night. He actually looks pretty healthy with the exception of a kinky tail.

Love Is Making A Trifle

Well this weekend is our wedding anniversary and what better way to celebrate than to go out for a nice meal and go to the movies.

Well I thought of a way

There are a few Very British Foods Callie would not touch with a bargepole

Marmite or Black Pudding for example

But the way to my wifes heart is a homemade English style trifle which worked much to well because I made it Thursday and it's all gone and our actual anniversary is not till tomorrow.

Love you loads my darling American Girl

Your British eccentric Hubby

Although, My Horses............


did NOT seem to appreciate the "horse" jolly ball, as evidenced by the "OMG! It's a horse eating monster!!!!!" reaction from my girls..........

As I kicked it around a bit in the pasture............

They certainly were not pleased.................

Not pleased at all................


But, BUT! The dogs certainly were having fun with it!

Especially, Spot , the border collie

Who cannot resist a ball of any sort............ever

The jolly ball did end up in the house, however, I placed it center of the pool table where Spot cannot get to it.

On A Funny Note.............


The girls were actually quiet and not high alert mode Monday night, however................


As I was upstairs already in my pajamas, Stephen walks by our large living room window that faces the back yard.......Stated there's an animal out there.............I said "What?, Is it a opossum?" Steve says that it looks like Liliput, our blind kitty who does not go outside. I say No Way, she wouldn't have gotten out. Stephen picked up the binoculars, mind you it is dark outside. I came flying down the stairs and look out the window, and shout, "It's opossums, and there's three of them!" We grab the nearest jackets and I arm myself with my killer .22 pellet gun, Ha! Which way do we go , we discuss as we're downing the stairs. This way says Stephen, so that we can sneak up behind them.......... I've got the gun pointed, Look at the size of that one, Stephen shout "Stop!" "That's your gazing ball!" I was ready to shoot the gazing ball that had fallen to the ground, Steve was ready to shoot a corn husk, which is what he originally thought was an animal and we were both ready to shoot a cinder block I have next to a tree......... We did have a short giggle at ourselves afterward.........The next morning, I was house cleaning and I picked up the binoculars and one lens still had the cover on!


We laughed so hard yesterday in hind sight, what a couple of nuts, blind ourselves, LOL!
