Christmas puppy

Steven got a puppy for Christmas, her name is Lilly

We have not had a dog here on the farm as of August 17th, when our Annie dog had a stroke and passed away very unexpectedly. Annie was the best dog in the world so we have had a hard time even thinking about getting a new one. To see the Annie store and pictures.

We would not have Lilly now, but my brother took matters into his hands.

He got us the cutest puppy ever.

Merry Christmas To All

Sunset and Snow Pictures

Yesterdays sunset -- how beautiful it was

Snow pictures from last week.

These are the programs I made (using Calligrafun and Martha's ideas) for the Farm Bureau annual meeting. I did the original on white paper and used a parchment type paper for the copies. Then put them all together with brads. I quite like the way they looked.

Saturday's pictures on Wednesday

I did take pictures on Saturday just ran out of time to put on the blog. The weather was wonderful on the weekend.

Mr. Hawk -- This is what I saw Saturday afternoon when I arrived home. Mr. Hawk has become very brave and the guineas seem to think he is a friend. What goes on when I am not here? Mr. Hawk has picked off 3 guineas this week and it is only Tuesday. Why have my birds become so friendly with him?
