New Farm Chicks

Our new chickens are beginning to lay.  Our fancy Frizzles which are smaller are laying and as you can see they are much smaller than our Americanas eggs.  So cute to find in the hen house!!

Apple Pie Filling


Grandma and Papa came this weekend to enjoy a football game with us, then Saturday we  arose to make 60 jars of apple pie filling. Yes, that is five cases of quart jars, we were a little goofy by the end, but it was great fun!!

Off to the Apple Farm



My daughter and I headed off to Gizditch Apple Farm last week and came home with two bushels of Newton Pippin apples. Of course we had to get a piece of warm apple pie and ice cream from their pie shop then we hit the road again after taking a short stroll through the trees.

Foggy Mornings




A few weeks ago I popped up out of bed on a Saturday morning to find our valley all fogged in.  That is a regular occurance, but since everyone was still sleeping after our Friday night football game I dashed out into the field with my camera. This is some of what I saw......

Man About the Barn

I want to introduce you to Switchfoot.  He is our male barn cat, and quite a mouser!!

Mmmmm, what happened here?


Our neighbor saw this at our barn one morning and assured us it is the "ultimate sign of affection!".We want you to know we know who you are and we look forward to showing our "affection" for you!!
