Odds And Ends

Shann..the Chicken Whisperer

They are such a help...NOT.  Every time I bend over to weed I end up with a chicken under me.  I know she is waiting for the bugs.  She wants to be the first in line.

the girls have been practicing....

Ella shares her water bowl.  Mind you, the chickens have three waterers and the ghetto pool.

That chicken on America's Got Talent has nothing on my girls...the play and sing!

Our Little Helpers

We are ever so slowly trying to clean up all the weeds and junk in the yard.  WE have the front finished all but one bed down by the street.  It only took us three days to get the front looking nice.  The backyard may take a few years.  And with all these wonderful helpers...

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs, And More Eggs

We have plenty!  Who needs them!

Guess Who Came Today!!!

My goats from Moey!!

They got here lots faster than I ever dreamed they would!  Faster than the chickens did.

Boot

Scoot

Boogie

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them a million time a million times.  The are perfect.  Now to find the perfect frame and the perfect wall!  That could be the challenge.

Oh Those Silly Ladies At Wyngate

Bonnie left this newspaper and a few egg cartons in my dad's room while we were at the hospital...

I think she is trying to get me in trouble!

They Are In The Mail!!

Love them!  And the fox!

Scoot, the shy, laid-back one.

Boot...the stinker of the group!

And sweet Boogie!

I can not wait until they get here.  Guess I will camp out by the mailbox!

Someone Is Trying To Hide Something

Well, maybe a few somethings!

And Now There Are Three

I love them!  All of them show their personalities.  I LOVE them!  Now to figure out where to put them! I LOVE THEM! It will take awhile because they are coming from Australia. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!  Moey you are the best. I REALLY LOVE THEM!  Thank you!!

And Then There Were Two

All The Way In Australia....

My boys are being painted!

My friend Moey is such a good sport.  We have been FB friends for as long as I can remember.  We have never met but I feel like I know her and she knows me so well.  A few years back when I got the chickens I asked her if she could work me up a pic of all the chickens.  And did she ever!  I love it more than words can say.  She would keep me updated with little looks at what she as doing along the way.  It seemed like the painting took the slow boat from Austrailia to get her.  The pic finally came.  Mark and I went right out that evening and had it framed.  Now it hangs in the hallway for everyone to see.  And I love it..did I say that?

I asked Moey awhile back if she would have the time to doing something small with the goats.  She has a house full of kids, a husband and she is in school.  I think she might be busier than me.  She agreed and asked me to send some shots of the boys that I liked.  I did...I sent a ton I think.  Moey is always good to read the NottaLotta Farm blog so she knows the personalities of each of the boys...just like she did with all the chickens.  I figured that Scoot would be the most challenging to paint.  I know that I have a hard time getting a good shot of him.  He is most always shy and the last to join in.  Ever since his surgery, he is a little leery of me.  And I think she captured that so well.  And she even has hi collar and bell around hi neck.  I love it!  I am so looking forward to seeing how she paints the rest.

Funny thing about it is that while I am sleeping she is working.  Like right now it is 1 in the afternoon here while in Perth it is 1 am.  I woke up this morning just knowing that she was going to post something today.  I dreamed about it all night last night.  Bright and early I was up checking FB and sure enough I saw this cute little face smiling at me.

Thanks, Moey!
