Sunday Funday Crochet and Movies

I love Sundays... they are my slow down days. I was out the door headed to church when my momma and step dad pulled into the drive for a surprise visit, it was nice to see them.  Then I kinda just crocheted the day away and we went to the movies.  

 Added a cute wooden button my husband makes for me to this hat

Does anyone else crochet in their barn, lol

I kinda love this picture

Mr. Fluffy

The chickens thought it was feeding time

Now what are they doin up there in the loft?

 We met up with some friends at the movies and watched Blackhat

I didnt crochet during the movie, lol

I love to crochet in the fall

I love sittin outside and crocheting in the fall... its so peaceful and the yarn doesnt stick to my fingers.  Heres a few pictures from earlier this month, I really had a "Me" day, I sat outside for a few hours, worked up a v-stitch scarf while daydreaming and watching my barnyard animals with my trusty dog, Daisy beside me... my honey came out and joined me after he got off work with his trusty dog, Hank, we watched the sun go down. I had chili in the crock and a cake cooling on the counter... girlfriends coming over that evening for our girls chat and crochet night.... I'm truly blessed!

Horses and Friends

I love that Flicka is bringing new friends into my life... 

For 2 evenings now Flicka and I have been working on her leaving the barn and other horses with just me. I'll ride her up and down the road... first evening was ok, yesterday evening was alittle better. I'm so thankful that my friends are helping me.

From One Horse Love To Another...

I just love when someone surprises me with "Happy Mail"... it is so very sweet of them to think of me and when I get "Happy Mail", it puts a big fat smile on my face.  I received this nice, pretty, soft, warm scarf today... its my very 1st horse thing. I wore it this evening when I went out to collect eggs (6).

I'll think of my sweet friend every time I wear my scarf :)

Angela down for a visit

I got a nice surprise & visit from a friend... you see shes been tryin to come down to Our Little Farm for about 3 years now and this week she finally made it.  She stayed the night with us, we had a short, sweet, lovely visit.  The weather was perfect and  heres alittle how it went...

 Visiting Tulip down in the barnyard

 Meeting Scarlet face to face for the very first time... Angela named Scarlet a few years ago and Scarlet has a special place in her heart, I've always said Scarlet has a forever home here.

 I knew I just had to fix a down home-cooked meal for Angela while she was here, she really doesnt cook (sorry girl your secrets out, lol) and I tease her all the time on facebook (and my other fb friends) with yummy pictures of the foods I cook for my family.  So I whipped up Country fried streak, real mash potatoes and homegrown green beans w/leftover homemade rolls... she was in food heaven, lol.  The for breakfast the next mornin I made her, her 1st frittata , she liked it :)

 My daughter thought she was being funny (and she was)... she set these moves for Angela and I to watch out on the couch since we were having a slumber party. She was makin fun of us, lol.  Hey no matter how old you are, your never to too for a slumber party!

I think this was her favorite part... feedin Scarlet and her 2 sons some treats (bread).

I got a feelin now that shes been here and loves it, she'll be back very soon, lol

Til next visit.............

Down On The Farm Summer Camp

 Last week we had 4 extra family/friends kids come down to stay with us on Our Little Farm... it really wasnt planned it just sorta happened.  So we had about a week of summer camp... they did chores, helped in the kitchen, picked the garden, helped pop beans, went fishing, went swimming at the lake, stayed up late, camped out, ate smores, played with the animals down in the barnyard, made wood crafts, saw kittens be born, tried new garden foods... got tricked into drinkin goats milk & they didnt even know it. I think we started something wonderful... I see this happening every year now, lol.  City kids meet farm life. Heres our week in pics.  Enjoy...
