Not doing Christmas next year. Think I finally learned my lesson.

Everyone in my family has had the stomach crud over the past week. NOT FUN.

Here's a better picture of my "Bug".

I got a new puppy! I don't have pictures downloaded yet...BUT I WILL! She is so cute. She is a Boston Bull. Itty BITTY HAS BEEN STOCKING HER That is what I really want to show. It is sooo funny! He bounces at her and she runs and cries. Then she'll turn and bark at him. Keeps me entertained. Even my 2 year old puppy is starting to play with her. I think she is going to fit right in!

Itty Bitty and Christmas Cactus




The only thing they have in common is they both have "BLOSSOMED"!" Itty Bitty only weighs 25-30 pounds.When he sneaks in on the bed in the middle of the night...it's okay til he steps on you! Or wraps around your head and purrs! He's just a big o' fat marshmallow!

Bummer

What really bummed me out after talking about the awesome buck I saw...the very next day in just about the same spot...a big white Dodge pickup truck and a State Patrol were parked. I watched as the patrolman got out of the car and walk across the road...and look in the barpit kind of disgusted, then walk back to his car. I have not seen the deer since...Bummer!

Better Late than never...











Trick or Treat!

Yesterday,on my way to Ordway to do the "Randy" chores I saw a pair of coyotes. I was headed west and they were cutting across the pasture headed north. Then I turned north and a young coyote ran across the road in front of me! That's too many coyotes for me in one area! Glad they are not closer to my house! Although we have our share. Every once in awhile I throw a firecracker out the door to scare them away because they are making too much racket, too close to my yard!

Today, as I was headed to Ordway, I saw the most beautiful Buck run up to the road! He was awesome but, what I didn't realize at first is he wasn't stopping! He kept on coming and I had to hit the breaks to keep from hitting him! Then as I cross the bridge I glanced to the west and there were 4 or 5 more crossing the river! What a sight. It was just neat. Guess this is wild animal week!
Larry got to see a momma Bobcat and kitten on his way to Rachel's house. I am so jealous!
I will be able to post wild Halloween pics on Friday! Eeeeew! Hope they're not too scarey!

Round one ...done!


Well, according to a neighbor this horses nose would turn black and rot where the bite was. He looks pretty darn good to me! Took this picture this morning. No swelling,no black, no nothing. And I am thankful! Dispite the flies trying to gobble up his face he is fine.

Not all fun and games




Today started out pretty interesting. My poor horse was bit on the nose by a snake! I am sure he don't appreciate it a lot. His mouth is swelled open so the flies are having their way with him. I put him in tall weeds so he can maybe wipe them away.(Probably good place for more snakes) There is not a whole lot I can do for him. Antibiotics and fly spray. Poor baby. He is a site for sure. Never a dull moment. If it is not a kid it is a critter.

Hot Tub Treat


Tonight my son said,"I'm going to take you somewhere." I said ok?

What a sweetie. He took me to the kids' other grandparents house and we got to get in their new hot tub! Pretty awesome. Never expected anything like that! AND we were invited back so we could have a barbeque or something. I think that is a nice invite since the price of propane is out of this world! No pictures...but it was nice!

Coyotes!

I think I may need a BIG dog that is good with kids and cats and furocious with coyotes! They were very close to my house tonight. I yelled at them and threw a fire cracker but I think all I scared is our old dog who is now on tthe porch with the cats! They give me chills when I hear them especially that close! My son came in the room and told me not to let my little dog out. I thought that was kind of nice since he doesn't like her. But for him to come and tell me they were here, it wasn't just cos they just "sounded" close, they were close!

Rachels' Birthday










































My Mail Box!


Ya know how the little things can bug you? Well, in this case it was my mail box. A yellow mail box is always included in the directions to my house. So... I have to have to a yellow mail box! Mine was so faded and beat up. So, yesterday I took it down and took the layers apon layers of paint off and repainted it Floresent Yellow! Oh, my! It is so loud that you could not talk in a normal voice next to it! LOL But that is what happens when you have a few minutes of your own. Get a little creative and fix that things that bother you!

Calebs' Skate Comp

Today was my youngest sons skateboarding competition. We were there most of the day waiting for hin to take a turn. Most of the time he was a judge. Could not judge himself but did so until his turn! Anyway I doubt that I will go to many more because I can't take the falling down part...
Until then I was good. Caleb biffed it big time and landed on his cheekbone. I so wanted to go to him but I would've embarressed him. SO I turned away and when he was done he walked up where I was sitting and I tried to put a ice pack on it and he got all "macho" and went and sat elsewhere so he wouldn't have to put up with me. He is working tonight at ~Pizza Hut~ and says he is fine. So I guess he is! I have a pic of just before he went down I'm posting in retaliation!

I also got a couple of tree huggers!
Damon and Aiden

And of course their father was shocked by it all!

I'm Confused

Today the forcast for weather in our area was rain. It was hazy and it sort of misted but not really a"rain". This evening it finally gave us about a 2 minute shower. Then a few minutes after that...I saw a snowplow! I had to double take on that one! A snowplow? This was about 10p.m. I don't know what to think about that. Maybe it is not me who is confused!

Hibiscus



I love to take pics with my 35mm. Especially when they come out the way I want them to!

The airplane is my 9 year old
grandson,Damons' kite!
Today is the first day Larry has gone on "Corn Harvest." He will be in Texas for the duration. Today was also the first day I have done our chores by myself in a while. All I know is a couple of the calves need weaned!
I nurse the baby calves on goats. They do awesome that way! And the goats aren't so big I can't shove 'em around. I think if I had a cow it might be a little more difficult. I don't know. These days I think the goats are more economical. But for today..."All is well."

September 9,2008


Today started out interesting. Damon spent the night with the Mom and Aiden stayed home. This morning had to go switch kids so the Mom could take Aiden to school and I brought Damon back home with the flu. She new he was sick but insisted that he come so she could spend time with him. Quality time? I doubt it. She had Travis take him over about 9p.m.(bedtime) Aiden wouldn't go cos he don't like to spend the night at his other Grandmas' house.( I always liked my Grandmas' house!) Then this morning I took Aiden to Mom and traded one healthy child for one with the flu? So, Mom, could take him to school. Didn't make sense to me either!

Damon has been fighting the flu about a week. He finally thought maybe he could take a day off and rest. Usually, he goes to school and about 1:00 I pick him up in the office cos he's throwing up and has a fever.

I told him if he's stay home a day and rest he might get over it a little quicker. We shall see. At 9 years old he usually knows everything and Grandma is dumb. He's just lucky Grandpa is still here to do all the chores!

Grandpa is supposed to leave and go work for Chris in Texas for awhile. Larry was teasing and said I'll be back around Christmas. Ya, right! I don't think so. He might but I know a secret...it is only 4 hours away! AND he has a cell phone, so I call and bug him till he does come home. Or I can go there, cos I know the way!

Only thing is, when I leave I have to find someone to do all my chores, and the chores Larry has been doing for a friend. Of course there is Family History on Weds. and Thurs. that I am at the Church. So I have to plan around that! Oh well. It could be I had a job too!

Auction Time!

Today I pretty much wasted? Guess it's all in how ya look at it. Of course I do not think it was... I went to an auction almost all day with my friend Peggy. She is a bad influence on me. Like it takes much...
Love those auctions. Have pretty much decided in the spring instead of a yard sale, I'm having a "yard auction". That way everything sells. You don't have anything left! Even the clothes. Takes a couple hours and you're done! Instead of packing(again) til the next good day or taking it to the box or the dump or whatever. You're done! At this point I am ready to give it all away. I don't have that much but maybe by Spring I'll be cleaning out big time.If you own something you have to find a place for it, dust it, take care of it, and I'm pretty much ready to sell out. Just think, no dusting, no cleaning, no washing. I don't want to get rid of my house altho living in a tent has its good points. Like when the floor gets dirty...just move it over a couple feet! ha ha ha ha ha

Bogners'


The Chris,Rachel and Hunter family left today. I'm sure it is a relief to go home after a week. I miss 'em already. But they have a lot of work ahead of them. Harvet starts next week and Larry will be down there to help soon. Hunter will love it cos he does love his Grandpa! Even when they dress funny!

Start the day off right!


This is how Larry started the day off! He went to do the chores and found this little snake waiting...

We have not had a rattle snake in the yard, that we know of, in years. Since we have had so much rain in the last few weeks it must've been confused. But it isn't anymore.

And So It Begins!


My daughter is a blogger, and so I decided to try to be a blogger. I thought this would be a good way for the family to stay in touch with everything that is happening in my neck of the woods, and maybe I will be able to keep up with them as well... that is if I am able to keep up with this blogging!
I probably won't get to everyday...maybe every other
day...
