Doesn't this seem like the truth?

And if you haven't called your mother to see if you can iron the wrinkles out of her cape --- shame on you!!

Morning Laugh

okay had to share this one -- we had a livestock truck over turn this morning and PIGS were everywhere. As a child born in the 60's I found it rather ironic that the POLICE got called to help round them up ... and no, I've never called a cop a 'pig' in my life.

well, okay ... just once ... but I was like 6 yrs old and heard it in 1st grade and my folks set me straight right away.

I've never done it since then.

Now that the sun has come up they have switched over to the color feed and you can see the full extent of the mess out there ... the red circle is the corral they have set up to hold the pigs, the bigger trucks are new livestock trucks that have come to help haul the little squealers away.

and yes that is the little bit of snow we have so far this year - sad isn't it? you know if we had our regular snow fall of 8" on the ground by now -- this pig round-up would be one to get video of!! That would just be funny.

Picture Day

The kids helping me prepare for Potions Class (I got the Swift for my Birthday this year - isn't it nice?)

the green bowl was for soaking, the white bowl was for rinsing, computer for instructions, kleenex for allergies ...Lol. And a giant thermos full of iced tea for the long day ahead.

Picture Day: Signs of Spring

Sorry I'm a day late -- hubby caught me blogging yesterday .... where has he been?

Well here are some sure signs of Spring in our area -- even if they did arrive late this year;

Lilacs -- purps, whites, and pinks. No yellows yet.

Tulips are over a month late (usually up by mid April, they just bloomed this week)

Spring planting ... this year we decided to plant peas & beans in the wider corn field to try to save the soil (after nearly 40 yrs of corn). It dried out just in time -- now we need some rain to get things moving along.
For the first time we let the daughter drive the little tractor while hubby used the hand planter to drop the seeds.
Sorry no shots this year of the big tractor.
