Catching Up

Well, since we are still camera-less, and I've pretty much run out of old pictures to post, this post will have to be less visually stimulating. It's actually going to be less stimulating in all respects because life has been kind of boring lately, just the day-to-day living that life is really all about.

We have had a few spots of excitement in our life, though. My good friend, Maria from Ohio, came and visited with us last week. We had a really nice time fellowshipping with a likeminded believer. She got to see our mini-farm -- and right now it is a really mini-farm, since the cows are being pastured elsewhere and we don't have pigs at this time. It was still alot of fun and the garden gave us plenty of work to do.

Well, I thought I didn't have any pictures to post, but then I remembered that I do have a few of the little kids that Maria took with her cell phone. They did an art project with her that included paper, scissors, crayons and glue. They were thrilled that she actually wanted to sit there and do art projects with them --unlike their glue-hating mother! Anyway, here are the few pictures that I do have:

Joey with his bull -- I think it's quite artistic for a five year old!

Sam with his alligator. I'm sure he had a little help. He made a baby and a mama alligator. Everything, and I mean everything, is a daddy, a mama or a baby to Sam.


Rachel with her cut-and-glued R. She finished cutting-and-gluing the rest of her name and it proudly hangs over her bed. She is so totally girly! The only thing that could have made this project better was glitter, or maybe butterflies.

Sam just being...Sam.

We also finished making our portable chicken pens. The broilers are now residing in chicken luxury with new, fresh grass beneath their scratchy little feet every day. Um, a small disclaimer. That we I used at the beginning of the sentence is a collective we. I didn't actually help build the chicken pens, but I sure enjoyed watching our good friend Allen show the boys how to do it!

Maybe I can get a few pictures of the new pens and try to post them. I have a feeling that plenty of pictures will be taken when part of my wonderful family arrives next week, because they LOOOOVE cameras!

So, I hope all (3) of our faithful readers will be waiting with bated breath for a new post chock full of pictures, and I surely don't want to disappoint the masses. Until next time, then, goodbye!
