Labor Day Weekend

It was pretty dang fun!  Hidden Lake and Mesa Falls were absolutely beautiful!  And I loved the frog we found.

It. Is. Fuh-reez-ing.

As people around here may have noticed, the weather suddenly went WILD over Thanksgiving.  There was a small blizzard almost every day.  

This looks like the Antartic Tundra.  It is our backyard.  Welcome to Idaho.

Jack seems to be the only one enjoying the whole mess.  He's spent the entire week barking at his own breath.

Okay, So It's Been A While

What can I say?  Life is busy.  This blog kind of follows my journal-writing patterns :)  On for a few days straight, off for a few months.  Oh well.  I'm always trying to improve, so today is as good of a time as ever.  

It's started to be fall around here (haha.  Since there was like a foot of snow on the ground last week that just finished melting.)

I took some pretty awesome sunset pictures.  (See it reflecting in the flood water?)

Then we took goofy pictures in sombreros which we stuck on our Christmas Cards.  Hmm.

Life is interesting.

My Favorite Bumper Sticker

We have a jeep that came with a bunch of hilarious bumper stickers all over it.  

This one says "Fear the Mullet."

I want it to be my theme song/ mission statement/ whatever.

It's hilarious.

Let's Go Fly a Kite. . .

"Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest hight. . .

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring!

Up through the atmosphere. . .

Up where the air is clear!

Oh let's go. . . 

Fly a Kite!"

More and More and MORE!

We have about a zillion and a half kittens back in our barn right now.  I think the last time I counted it was like eighteen.  We really need to get rid of all of them, but for now they're really cute.  Here are a few pictures of the latest batches.

And hey- if you want a cat- contact me!  If not, I understand.  I don't want them either at the moment.  WAY too many.

A Change of Focus

A month or so ago when the sunflowers were still in bloom I took these two pics.  I think it's hilarious what a change in the focus can do to the exact same subject!

Focused on the Sunflower

Focused on the barn and goats.  I think the sunflower looks like some kind of fireball or explosion.  Funny!
