Chicken Fried

This is what happens when you give homeschooled children a camera and tell them to make a movie for creative writing class! Hope you enjoy it and find it as funny as we did! And yes, it's our children, our acreage, our barn, our poor chicken.......I am NOT responsible for my son's wardrobe!!!!

Mid September

..and things are getting cranked up! We have a new member of Terra Benedicta. This is not Britney's calf but the heifer that Jeffrey worked for this summer. She is newly weaned and in the barn bawling for her momma. She will be ready to breed in April so by next fall we will have another milk cow.

We have not decided yet what to name this one. I was thinking of something cute like May Belle.

Our deligent horse trainer is doing wonders with Bullseye. He is saddle broke and giving rides to the more experienced riders. The next thing for him is to be gelded. We are waiting for the cooler weather and the flies to disappear.

The girls got matching dresses for church from Mrs. Patti. They are so pretty and warm! The cooler weather will be here soon.

Sorry for the lack up updates. There is not much to report. The cow is not giving milk now since she is due to calf next month. We have been enjoying a vacation so to speak without having to worry about milking and school. One thing we did was go to the zoo which is where the photo above was taken. We have also had a lot of company the last month or two. We had friends from Arkansas come up and we have someone here now from Texas. She is a young lady that is breaking the horse for us. I will post photos soon.

We finally got some much needed rain. The garden slowed down so much due to the lack of rain and heat. We have actually seen some night in the 30s here the last week. Things are slowly getting back to normal so there will be more updates now. I will certainly update when we have a new calf! Exciting days ahead, no doubt.

Here is one of our favorite shots from the zoo. You know why, right???? GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!
