January 19th♥

Okay. From now on, more regular photos, and not so much with the iTouch. Cause those are boring. 

It's a goal. :-) 

So...today was great! The Sis and I had harp lessons, I played Uno with my little friend, 

got back home and played with the horses some. Sunny and Cappie got a bit of a makeover via the horse brush. But after rolling in dirt, they need way more sprucing up than just a stiff brush. lol 

I love my dog. a lot. 

a lot a lot.

She wanted in...real bad.  It was really cute!

I fully realize that this is 2 more pictures than normal. **Grins** but I loved the sun flare in this one, even if my ISO was way too high. Thus the grainy look. 

Oh, and what's the white fluff I'm holding onto?

Pearl.

We got in our BUTTER today! It came all the way from Ireland. Isn't that too cool? 

So now, once we eat it, "We'll be speakin' in Irish Brogue". 

I love irish-y things. And I like butter. 

Mr. Bingley got himself trapped inside our electric poultry fencing today. Let's just say he didn't like it. 

Or the zapping that followed. Poor baby. So I rescued him, and then gave him a bone. 

From then on he was fine. :-)

Today was school day. Math to be exact. That's where mr. composition notebook comes in. 

*Laughs* the finger at the bottom left corner does look weird there. Oops!

Other than that, it was a simple day! Just the usual chores, etc... 

And catching a bunch of chickens in the dark. 

That wasn't so usual. Oddly enough though, catching chickens is kind of fun! I foresee that becoming a southern sport somewhere down the road! :-)

Today was a strange but good day. 

By the way, Happy Martin Luther King day! 

I got to sleep in this morning, then I did the usual chores, made my dad's breakfast and squeezed some fresh grapefruit juice. Yummsies. 

I also made a weird carrot puree concoction. I think I really should stop playing around with carrots...my last experiment didn't work too well either. Naughty carrots. 

I'm blissfully dreaming about gluten free cupcakes. Make that, "Gluten free, sugar free, grain free, and soy free" cupcakes. 

Not to mention I've been reading too many cupcake books, blogs etc... But hey, its inspiration! 

So I grabbed my little notebook, and sat compiling idea after idea of splendid cupcake recipes. 

Yum again. 

Today it's been kind of gloomy. We set up the electric wire chicken fencing this week, so the chickens are still getting used to that. They didn't want to go in tonight, so a lot of them were roosting on our porch railing. That's a no no. 

And...that's about it. Just one of those dark rainy days that inspire you to stay indoors and be cozy. 

And Daddy took the day off today, so that was really wonderful.

Today was the average Saturday work day.
I  french braided my hair, cleaned out the chicken coop, fed the horses,
pet the horses, took pictures of the greenhouse plants, ate lunch,
made food, cleaned the duck coop, cleaned the
kitchen, ate more food, watched Pioneer Woman,
let Bingley out, accidentally scared Pearl, made dinner,
crashed, soaked in epsom salts, and now I'm zonked and ready
for bed. Thus the dazed expression on my face.

The shepherds pie was really good tonight. I think I shall dream of it tonight.

Today was busy busy busy. I got up early this morning, and it was a frosty 24˚ when I went out to do the morning animal chores! It actually didn't get above freezing all day... So after chores, I finally got to exercise on the Elliptical trainer, and felt oh so much better afterwards. 

Then I made chicken stock, and put some Sirloin Steak in the crockpot for dinner. Yummo.

Then the usual stuff happened, like cleaning up the kitchen, eating, chasing Bingley, and feeding chickens.  

You should see Mr. B in his blue winter coat. I nearly died laughing. 

And then I put up 25 lbs. of blanched Almond flour. I love that stuff, it makes the best

Gluten free pumpkin bread! Which you can't have without chocolate chips of course. :-)

I went outside this afternoon to take some pictures with my "real" camera, and I was only outside for five measly little minutes. When I went back inside, my fingers, toes and nose were frozen solid. ♥

Stay warm!

Today I got up at 5:45 a.m, fed the animals, and drove into town with the Dad and Sis. 

It started out a little rainy in the 45˚ temp, so it wasn't too bad. By the time

we got into town though, the temp had dropped at least 15 degrees, and was super windy. 

And then it snowed! I love snow.

I had another Voice lesson, the Sis and I picked up a dog tag for Mr. Bingley (he kind of lost his) we went to Whole Foods, and then had awesome massages. It was a really great day! With snow!

I drank peppermint tea and ate hot soup for lunch. 

Okay, the white flakes on my coat? "JUMBO" snowflakes! When the Sis and I went outside, it was blowing around like a "Little house on the Prairie" blizzard. You couldn't keep your eyes open for very long. 

When we got back home the ground was all white, so if it lasts I'll take some more "snow" pictures tomorrow. I'm all bundled up right now, with my space heater. ♥
