Crochet and Goat Watching...

Its was a beautiful morning and day... 

The kind that makes ya just wanna be lazy, sit outside in the shade and enjoy it. So thats just what I did, calling for chances of rain the rest of the week, so that means I'll be stuck in the house and thats when I'll do my house chores. 

My Kinda Morning!

 Found a nice shady spot to crochet, watch goats and sip my lemon/strawberry water

 My girl Daisy was sat with me.  I was also writing down notes for the upcoming wedding... Daughter is gettin married here on Our Little Farm June 8, 2013

Garden's lookin gool

 My view of the goats...

 Spirit... my bottle baby wether

 Why does the grass alaways taste better while eating it through the fence?

Tulip and her March 21, 2013 Quads

 They will be 2 months old on the 21 and leaving to go to their new homes very soon!

I love just watching them go about their day...

Itty Bitty & a rooster

 Sweet lil video for you to enjoy

  I finished the baby blanket this morning...

... while the sun made my green lemon tea ;)

Barnyard Peacefulness...

Theres just some kind of special peacefulness that comes from hangin out in the barnyard, I truly love it.  I love sittin in this old broken down chair that got recycled in the barnyard watching the animals go about their day... I love the sounds the animals make... I love hearin Flicka and the goats munching on their hay, chickens peaking at the ground, ducks dabbling in any water they can find... no water container down in the barnyard is safe from a duck, lol.  I love that 1 of my 5 farm kitties will find me and come sit in my lap, then purr up a storm from all the loving and one on one attention they are getting. I'm even starting to love all the barnyard poo smells........... NOT, lol   No, really theres just something special down there, a simpleness that I love to enjoy, a magical place to go and just be still... let it soothe your soul. 

A person that possesses true peace is not one without problems and turmoil, 

but is rather a person who has peace in spite of it.

See my Life is not always perfect, lol

Dear World... I dont complain a lot and I have a really great life that I love but at times it gets really stressful and I dont talk about that much mostly I'm a go with the flow, think happy thoughts kinda girl.... Butterflies and Rainbows.  Not today........ well not right at this moment.  I was out doin barnyard chores when my honey walks out and says... our 15 yr old son is kicked off the bus for 5 days..... for smoking.  What The?!?!?  We dont allow our 15 yr. old son to smoke and he knows this.  He played with fire and just got burned... we try to teach out kids ‎ ALL decisions made in life have consequences...it's up to you to decide what consequences are worth living with. So since he decided to smoke on the bus and got busted... he not only hurt himself he hurt me........ I'm the one who has to drive him to school and pick him up for the next 5 days and this really ticks me off because there is no reason I should have to drive him to school when a perfectly good bus rides by our house... the school is about 15 minutes away.  My son does not realize yet that he just made my life sooooo much harder I already have to drive my brother (who lives with us) back and forth to his appointment/school and my daughter back and forth to work and she does not have set hours... they are all over the place so now I have to juggle all 3 of their driving needs, barnyard chores, house chores, my life...... ooo this is gonna be fun.   

Ps.  Hes grounded from his phone, computer, house phone, goin places or having friends over.

Was it worth it?  I think not.

Pss... If your a praying person... please say a short prayer for me and my family this morning we have to deal with a problem I'm not even gonna go there & talk about... it will be involving a court date, God knows what it is and its all in his hands.  

Psss... I love my son with all my heart (his older sister and younger brother too) and of course only want the best life for him.  Hes a good boy that just does stupid things... Hes learning life...... the hard way.

Thank ya.

Versatile Blogger Award...

I'd like to say Thank You too Mountain Valley Farms for pickin Our Little Farm and 14 others for the "VERSATILE BLOGGER" Award. I have to tell seven random things about myself

So here they are...

1. I dont take my life for granted... God blessed with a wonderful one, its not perfect, but I love it & thank him everyday for it.

2. Never in my wildest dream did I think I would be a country girl growin up, I was a real city girl... but the country girl was deep down in my soul just waitin to come out. Couldnt imagine my life any other way... I have all these wonderful barnyard animals I take care of everyday, I learned how to can, freeze the foods from our garden, learned how make alot of the food I feed my family from scratch.

3. Taught myself how to crochet about 4.5 years ago with the help of Youtube, one of my husbands Aunts & crochet friends that live in my computer, lol... Heres a cute lil doll I made over the weekend.

4. I hate to clean house... So when my wonderful husband starts cleanin, I think to myself "You Go Boy", lol ;) I'd rather be out doin barnyard chores instead.

5. I really dont want my teenagers to grow up... even though they drive me nuts from time to time I so wish I could freeze time & have our family stay like this forever.

6. I come to realize its the simple things that really make me happy... Simple Is Good.

7. I have alot of great friends that live in my computer, that I love to share with, talk to, learn from everyday... I dont have that many real life friends, I've learn to except that & go about my life.

* I usually dont pass awards along... but if you would like to tell me 7 random things about you feel free.
