All the World is a Stage?
Well, at least our world for five days will be. Bet and I and the Bowerman gals will be down at the Puyallup Fair for its last five days. We exhibit our turkeys and quail in the Animals of the World Barn. We work hard setting up and then we work the crowd for the … Continue reading
Quick Run Down of Our Lives Since September Tenth
My new header picture was taken on the first day of the Fair. With lots to do for Anna’s wedding and only eight days, well seven really, to do it in, the girls and I went off to the Fair for a whole day. The shot is of my oldest daughter, Stephanie Manley’s prize winning honeycomb. … Continue reading
Strings Attached
and Ready for the Envelopes. We didn’t send out invitations. Anna and Justin’s wedding will be so small and intimate that printed invitations were barely necessary. We joyfully asked those very close to us if they could please join us on that day. And instead we are sending out little booklets to those who could join us. And they have … Continue reading
Well Heck
I’m totally humbled. I had no thought of winning this week. I really just had an idea of a picture and a post, and knowing that I’m havin’ a hard time posting except for the header challenge change over, I just put up my favorite picture of Dirt and Anna with our changing foliage behind … Continue reading
Change
Seasons change. One moment we are hanging out in a season enjoying the elements and dynamics, and then quickly we are in the next. We have no control over the changing of the seasons, they come whether we are ready for them or not. Seasons usually go by the calendar, we can expect the change. … Continue reading

Or I should say, Lanny’s subversion of said challenge. So here we are havin’ a Sunday morning post-breakfast reflection on our favorite animal. “Animal reflections”. On my … Continue reading

Well.. Whodda Thunkit!
I won! By being silly, wasting Dirt’s evening time, having fun with the girls, making a memory or two, being all non-conformist like, I won! Fishing Guy sent me the picture of the gold plaque to put on my blog, I can’t wait for the real one to get here and the check to follow. … Continue reading
Cloud Formations On the Farm
So exactly how is a cloud formed? By blowing off steam doncha think Dear Reader? Steam is water vapor and water vapor in the atmosphere is a cloud eh? And we all speak of dust clouds don’t we? I fail to see this as a stretch. Well I bet Imac never guessed I could pull … Continue reading
Hey, I Can Do This, Not a Problem
Well, it is five weeks and five days ’til Dirt loses his Anna and she becomes another man’s girl. So if I seem a wee bit more sporadic than usual or I start babbling endlessly and you’ve gotta slap me, you’ll know I haven’t gone whack-a-do, just, uh.. okay, whack-a-do. The dresses are all secured and … Continue reading
