Let's go for a walk! I want to show off my flower gardens.

 Notice the mud?  Yep, I just finished up with the horses.  These are my favorite pair of boots.  Come on! Let me show you around the house.

I'm totally addicted to my flower gardens.

A closer look. See the son in the background there playing ball?

I have secret treasures all around my flower beds.

 

My barrel of flowers. I love how the flowers spill out of this keg!

More treasures. I love this little planter.

I love this milk can I use for a planter.

 

Another view of the milk can. Am I boring everyone?

Another wagon wheel with flowers.

Into the back yard, leading to the pool

My campfire spot. The poor neighbors sometimes listen to us sing BADLY! lol

A closer look of our campfire spot. I am so ready for SURVIVER!

Where I stick Grandma and Grandpa when they visit!

Back to the landscaping. Oh, how I love these flowers!

 

I hope you enjoyed the pictorial!

Welcome!  Let me show you around this place.

From our mailbox

 

Standing in our driveway, looking down at the barn's front entrance.

 Notice the hay mower decorating my lawn! There is also a mystery lump/mound of landscaping in this yard.  I have no idea what all grows in this mound!

The view of the barn from the road.

The front view of the barn from the road... continued.

The barn.. continued. It is a big barn! At the end of the barn there is our hay elevator. From the hay wagons, into the hay mow!

 There are box stalls inside the downstairs of my barn.  Each stall has a window.

 This farm used to be a dairy farm.  We converted the downstairs of the barn into a great place for horses. 

The main entrance to my barn is on the right of the flower bed. To the left, is where I store my sawdust.

 We use sawdust or wood shavings to bed the horses in their stalls.  I go through loads of sawdust! The beauty of my barn does not compare to the practicality of my barn.  Once I go inside of my barn, I need never come out while doing chores.  I can get the sawdust from inside and I have a pit for dumping the horse manure at the end of my alleyway inside the barn.  This is AWESOME in the wintertime!

My view of the barn from my bench.

Tomorrow…. I’ll show you around the house!

“You can do WHATEVER YOU WANT… but your not going to cook!”

“I’m not going to wear a stupid hat!”

“Fine!  But your not going to cook then!”

“Mom doesn’t wear a hat when she cooks!”

Inserts me: “But I always pull my hair back.”

“But that is because you WANT to pull your hair back!”

“Ummm.. no. I pull it back because nobody would want a LONG hair coming out of a brownie they were eating!”

Girl stares at me.  No comment coming from her.

“Okay, sissy… I’ll wear a hat.  Let’s go upstairs and find a different one though.”

What is going on?  Well, my youngest daughter got a MAGIC OVEN or something like that…

Easy Bake Oven in my kitchen

It cooks with electricity and a 100 watt light bulb.  My youngest is in charge of the cooking going on in my kitchen today.  Heh!  Her older sister… hates to have her hair messed with.  Sissy is insisting that she put her hair UP and wear a HAT!

Like a real chef!  Except the one hat didn’t last longer than a muscle twitch!

One is not like the other.

I am secretly falling down with laughter here at my older daughter.  Both daughters are so strong-willed.  I think the entire situation hilarious.

I wonder if my kitchen will look so funny in a few hours….

;-)  I shall try to sneak some pictures and update here.

All last week, I had planned that my son and I would be going to a barrel race this coming weekend.  Oh my!  The race is a different weekend - not this coming weekend.  So I have a free weekend!

Oh, what to do! What to do!  I’ve been reading the Sunday paper trying to decide which cultural or theater event my hubby and I would attend this weekend. Wahoo. 

My choices…

Well Weird Al Yankovic is in town.  But, I don’t think so…

The RAT PACK is BACK is opening this week at Heinz Hall.   That is a big band kind of thing.  Probably not my kind of thing though.

What I think I’m dragging my hubby to attend is Annie Get Your Gun. 

Now THAT looks like it will be enjoyable.

I’ve got a date to make! Tickets to get! Phone calls to make!

Wahooo… no children… no in-laws… no horses!

I get to dress UP and get off of the farm!

P.S.  I got a new email address.  It is in the sidebar.  The Yahoo one never sent me my mail.
