Winter wonderland

This is the tree is snow and it is still snowing here, i just had to look around at the beauty! We got about 4 inches give or take.

This is looking in on my quackers pen. They have a building to get in to, but I guess they just love the snow. These are cayuga ducks. Sally is in the front , I think she is a blue swedish, but not for sure.
The muscoveys didn`t get out from under the garage and they don`t like the snow when it is this deep.

Another look of the snow lined trees

Our dog ( Crazy) Bandit eating the snow. He was, I swear running around just biting the snow and of course panting alot. He just loves the snow...it`s his first year with snow. Cricket loves the snow as well....she so has a hard time going thru that much snow... sorry I didn`t get a picture of that.

This is such a perfect snow angel that my youngest made today.....they got to have a snow day....and probably will be tomorrow as well...not for sure. The youngest has cheerleader practice tomorrow...I so hope they have school.

We are expecting another round according to the weather man sunday into monday

Dreaming of Spring......

Morning Glories in all the glory for spring.

These are just a sampling of whats to come in my yard.....I didn`t plant morning glories last year, but I am this year.......

Thoughts from cricket....

Hi! My name is Cricket and I am a little puppy of the Dashund ( not sure of spelling as I am a puppy) variety. Sometimes 2 of my humans , in which their are a total of four of them ( how lucky am I) get on this big yellow thing....or would I say they disappear into this big yellow thing....then beep,beep,beep sound goes off and the big yellow thing goes down the road to somewhere. I missed those two girl humans terrible when they get on the big yellow thing and go away. But later I do get to see them, sometimes I have to wait for hours , in which seems like a lifetime to little me. I am told by one of my humans that the big yellow thing is a bus, but not for sure what a bus is.

One day one of my humans took me to loud place ,at least I thought it was loud at the time...alot of screeming going on....I just looked around and snuggled in the sleeve of the humans coat and soon their was my favorite two human girls coming to hold me......hahahahahaha. I was so happy to see them.... This place was a school that I was tooken to. I kinda of now enjoy going there as I know I will soon see the two girls who I adore.

I so love my humans. They play with me and my favorite part is snuggling with them and going to sleep.

I thought this might make some of you that follow me a laugh.... Enjoy and a have a happy day!!!!!!

Tinker is back...

Yes, that`s right Tinker is back. Both me and my hubby was thinking she was dead somewhere. Three days gone and she appears out of the blue. I just wonder what she has been doing the past three days. I am so glad she is back. We have missed her terribly. That just goes to show don`t give up hope on animals that disappear.
She seems like she really don`t know what the fuss is all about. Almost like do I know you from somewhere. She didn`t seem at all hungry....I just wonder where she has been the past three days. We have looked all around the fields around us and down the road and called all the neighbors to see if they had seen her.

I am glaaaaad she is home finally.

Wanting to rush things....

I went to town today and lo and behold they had seeds at the local Wally world.....Flowers and some vegetables....you know the seed packets that cost only 20 cents....ooohhh how i thought about getting a few....Pumpkin, yellow squash, Zucchini...plus a few flowers seeds. Needless to say I looked on the back and seen I couldn`t plant them until March/April.....darn-it.....they shouldn`t temp me like that..... I am waiting patiently I swear. I didn`t get any of them..not to say I didn`t want to. Ooh I do need to do some gardening...Maybe I could start cleaning out the beds and cleaning out the Chicken Coops and adding that to the beds. It will be warmer tomorrow ....that is what needs to be done. Maybe that will get my need for playing in the dirt for now .....until the spring planting time begins.......ahhhh I can`t wait

disappearing dog....Tinker

I got up this morning and went and made sure all the animals had water. My hubsand had had his coffee while he walked outside earlier and turned the heeler loose. Needless to say the old dog....Tinker was missing ...not in her dog house....she is deaf and blind to some extent....She is 14 years old. At this writing she is still missing ,...the heeler has come back ( Bandit), but still no Tinker. I think possibly she went off and died , but not for sure. Our Chihuahua Jake did this about 3-4 years ago and we have not seen any bones from him....just up and disappeared.

Tinker has been a good dog. She is a chow/lab/heeler and what ever else mixed in there. She has killed amany possoms that were after my chickens as well as coons, even a skunk after it sprayed her in the face. She did everything we asked her to do. She loved to play hide and seek with my husband in her younger years. she has drunk out possoms under the porch.....possoms from holes........skunks out from hole in the ground and protected us from harm. She is/ was a good dog and she will be missed if she doen`t come back to us. I am sure if she is gone to her heavenly reward she is up there running rabbits...squirrels and possoms amuck.

Spring.....oh where r u?

Oh where can you be ? Yes , to some point I do like winter, but I have had enough of it for now until maybe December 2011 or January 2012. I know here in Missouri, we have at least the rest of January and then February and then March which sometimes winter weather peaks it`s little head up for. Ohhh, I want spring with the warm weather, the flowers of different colors, the fuzzy baby chicks and baby ducks, the farmers markets, the swap meets, the trees with leaves, the dogwood flowering out.........Ohhh you are just a few months away.

We got about inch of snow here and wind blowing the snow off the trees, which were so pretty last night. I was gonna get a picture of the snow covered branches......mother nature had other plans......like the wind blowing it off before I woke up. I am sure I will get my chance to take pictures of the snow covered branches as snow is expected again this weekend.
