it snowed

                                           trying to catch some snowflakes I believe .....

                                            you got some snow?

                                                 Their is just so many to catch!

                              some of the snow piled on the car....we got about 9 inches.

                                               plant stand in snow, the bottom tier is covered

                                                          our steps of snow...or rather where are the steps?

                                           just another pic of snow covered truck

                                   Yes, my hubby put a sheet on the windshield of the car and truck to prevent icing......it was covered by the snow.

                                          If you look close, three of the ducks are there....they could stay down by the garage but choose not to....

Our Bandit just looking for a squirrel......

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hope everyone has a wonderfull Thanksgiving

Gardening is never really over......

                                 Here is some limbs down to due to the high winds we had over the weekend.
                Prayers go out to those out east where the tornados hit.

                                                          Now on to the garden!
I am planning on extending the garden up.....so I can have more beds and of course more blackberry plants.

                                                        this is the spot before work

                                           This is the spot that some of the blackberries will have to be moved since Hubby and neighbor talked about putting a gate here....so hence the blackberries will be moved come spring.....I told hubby that their pretty much is a gate of sorts here....just remove the one post and take down barbed wire....their is already a panel there....round here the could be a gate....I have counted about 8 plants need to be moved.....the joys of transplanting.....

                                        This is some things I have done around the garden.
                                          I moved the rocks on the side and put up some landscape timbers
                              that were in my chicken house that I am in the process of tearing down, planning on building another one in the future.

                                    more landscape timber put here....I think it looks better to extent

                                              some of the rocks went round the old wheel barrel

                              I just think this mum is still beautiful with the cold/frost hitting it

          work being done one the new place for more beds and of course the blackberries that will be transplanted next spring.
Well enough for now, gonna go and enjoy the day while the wind isn`t blowing

what I have been working on....

I have been tearing down one of my chicken pens and then taking the boards and making something new.....a new pen.....of sorts.

                                using only the boards that are good, is hard to find...a lot of 2 foot boards not that many longer boards....the frame going together....

                         the frame is all put together...tigeress had to check it out....I almost run out of screws to put this together.....just enough to put together....yay

                                           now putting the wire around it, one side is done.

                                             the top is on....who should go in this new pen.....

My cochin/buff cross and her 5 babies...they are loving it outside...

These babies will hopefully be some of my layers next year...as long as they are not all roosters,lol

I have one more hen that has two babies with her as well...late hatches...they insisted that they set instead of laying any eggs, so I gave them eggs to set on and let them hatch out these babies.

 

I have also working on my youngest an afghan similar to the one that I made my oldest, hopefully I will get it done before Christmas and finally finished her animal quilt top...now to get the back fabric and batting so I can tie tack it...

 

Well that is all for now.

Happpy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

fall color.....

Just some fall pictures for you to enjoy. God has outdone himself again here in the Ozarks. The pictures don't do justice to this beautiful scenery

been busy....

Have been busy around here lately, volleyball games ...season is about over, ..one more game....the local fair...games...garden work....among just everyday things....

                                                                Volleyball
The oldest daughter has one more game of Volleyball....I was upset along with her at one game...she didn`t get to play at all , and it was away game...the last game she got to play and their was a c-set and she scored about 5 points for the team on both games...thru her serving the ball...very proud of her...on that game the JV won and the varsity won as well...they almost had the C-set won as well.

                                                                Local Fair
yes, our county does have a fair. It wasn`t gonna happen until a few people got together and made it happen. My oldest won the queen contest...I thought she looked good  up on the stage...I know she was the only contestant in that category...but so happy she won.....so needless to say that was last weekend....We enjoyed the fair to a point....they needed more animals and their was no rides this year, in which I think hurt the fair...Friday night was cold and rainy and the big day was the demo derby in which was cold as well.

A few complaints ....they need something to bring the people in during the day on Saturday so people can enjoy the fair and the local shop....I did not see a whole of people buying anything...not that many vendors.....their was an antique tractors displayed...

                                                  this poor guy never moved....lol

 A petting zoo was there , we didn`t go in at all, just to pet them was 2.00 a person and most of the animals we have....so didn`t see a need to go and pay just to pet these animals...

 I did want to grab the wee little pig and carry it around inside my coat though...the oldest daughter wanted to do this as well...it just looked so cold running around the pen...........

                                a min horse to pet and ride ....rides were 2.00 extra if u want to ride...

Hopping it up is over the youngest daughter...her team won one game over all and almost won the last game....
                                                                    on to the garden...

 I plant all of these bulbs yesterday ...before the freeze we had last night...tulip and Easter Lillie bulbs I had dug up in the garden....the new roses I planted was mulched a few days ago as well...all of the cannas were dug up and put away for the winter...

When I was mulching the roses the other day I had help...the wee little kitten buttercup was helping me ...I would go to the mulch pile and get a bucket full and then take it to the garden and buttercup was in tow along with Trixie the mighty Chihuahua and Bandit the crazy heeler....When I was mulch the grapes for the winter Buttercup tried to jump and settle on the mums in the above picture that is why the they are broke down in the middle...it was nice and round before that....
My youngest also had a birthday, cant believe she is 12 already. We took cupcakes to her school on her Birthday hope fully we will be able to celebrate her birthday this weekend ,since hubby is off the whole weekend , which don't happen very often....

Well just thought I would catch up some since I haven`t post in a couple of weeks...hopefully things will slow down a bit....everyone have a blessed day and weekend!
