Life on a farm...in the middle of the suburbs.

Ever since I was a kid I dreamt of living on a farm or ranch. I've always wanted some land where I could have a big garden, horses, goats, chickens and maybe a couple of cows. Here I am, almost 33 years old, living in the suburbs with a yard that I've transformed into a mini farm and ranch. I guess I should have made my dreams a little more specific!

Chicks are coming...

Now if I were a different sort of man, "Chicks are coming" might have a different meaning. But as you all know by now, when I say that...it means baby chickens! Now that we've cleared that up, can I just take a minute to jump up and down because I'm going to have three little fluff balls to take care of again?!?!

A picture is worth...Part 2

So my first attempt at an interactive post only drew one response. Hopefully that doesn't mean that only one person read the post! But no matter what the posts must go on! Thanks to Jen for her response, she gets the "RHOSC Blog Reader of the Year" award! :)

A picture is worth...

I don't even know where to begin with this post. Yesterday I remembered that while at the zoo a few weekends ago with my nephews I snapped a picture of a female gorilla. And if my memory serves me right, I took a similar picture of this same gorilla a few years back. I want to know what you think about this picture and what it brings up for you. And in my next post I will tell you what the picture brings up in me. Please, leave me some comments...I'd love to know if you get the same thing I do.

The Big Syrup Fiasco & Blogging on a Budget

Okay, I know you won't believe me because you all think I always make fabulous meals that go off without a hitch. But I'm here to tell you that last night I had a bit of an issue while cooking dinner. And it's not the first time that I've had things go awry during meal prep! This is one time that I am happy I didn't decide to film a how to video! :)

Oh I love a sunny day!

Much to my surprise the sun decided to make an appearance today, and it's amazing how everything from the chickens to the plants in our garden seem to respond to this amazing gift! I think back to being a kid in Montana and while the winters were freezing cold, the sun was normally out and shining most days. Which is extremely deceptive because even though the sun was out...it was NOT warm!
