OK So I Don't Have The Human Kids Here (January)

Kids. The goat kind. That's what lives here so that's what I take pictures of sometimes. They are growing on me and I am rather fond of them now. I think they like me too. They gave me a heart.

The chickens use the goats for a chair or vehicle. Either way it's a hoot to watch. Look closely and you'll see a chicken on Francis's back.

The chickens have their own antics that are fun to watch.

Cockle the Rooster thinks he's all that and then some. He's looking out over his flock. He's standing on the fence Larry put up around our satellite dishes.

The goats try and hog all the attention.

A hen checks out the view from up top too.

Believe it or not I let the chickens out of their coop one morning and a rooster came out and I thought "OH NO! What happened to my rooster?" Then I realized that someone had the nerve to stick a rooster in our chicken coop. Ugh!

It's the motley looking one in the front. 

The chickens would not allow the rooster to go into their chicken house and eat so he started sleeping in the goat shed. After about a week I called the Humane Society to see if they would take the rooster that was dumped off at our house and they would! When it started sleeping and pooping in the goat food it had to go.

Double Yolked Egg Makes One Great Sandwich (January)

Our chickens do good work. They lay us some good eggs! Occasionally they lay a huge one. As a woman who has given birth to over 9 pound babies I feel for the hen.

Cracking a double yolked brings good luck. Yea for me! We had some good breakfast that morning.

This is an egg muffin sandwich that you won't find at any fast food restaurant. Egg, bacon, toasted English muffin with Colby jack cheese melted on one half and pepper jack cheese melted on the other half. 

Snow, Snowman and Spring. What?! (January)

I woke up and saw snow! It was January and snow is expected but we hadn't had very much yet this year. The best part is that it was wet sticky snow. The perfect kind to make a snowman. So I did. Doesn't he look mighty fine.

At first the goats investigated him and wasn't too sure about him but that didn't last long.

They decided to eat my snowman! That's what I get for making him in the goat pen.

The snow stuck around for a little while and then it warmed up and started melting nice and slow. I love this picture at night of the snow looking like glass with the reflection of the light.

Played around with my iPhone camera app and tweaked the picture a bit.

I took the picture of my snowball tree just a few days after all the snow melted. Crazy!
