weekend shots

I really had no idea how much I would love my sacred space on the porch.

I've been seeing a lot of hens around.  This morning I saw two hens and six babies.  I always worry when the hay is cut because they normally nest in the tall grass of the fields.

First batch of hay has been cut, raked and rolled.  

Despite the heat of the weekend and needing another hair cut Katie Bug is still ready to play.

I love how the dichondra finds it's was through the teeniest holes.

My roses have been going crazy blooming!!



My shoes are off as much as possible.

Bulbous Begonias growing and doing well.

Something about the top being off of my truck makes me feel good.

My Christmas cactus is slightly confused on the time of year but I am not complaining about this beautiful bloom.

 

Lazy porch naps.

can I please post now?!?!  I am having computer problems again.  I guess I have some sort of virus somewhere in the machine.  I am a laptop girl.  I don't have a smart phone or a tablet or whatever so I've been working strictly on this here gadget for several years.  I've done real well to not have crashed the thing... well maybe just the one time.  but it seems in the last few months I will have these ads popping up everywhere wasting my giga-watts (as Shaun calls them) and flashing grotesque pictures that I did not ask for.  silly things.  so I have uninstalled chrome once again and am starting over fresh... hopefully.  the last few days it had been affecting everything online for me including blogger.  ugh.  so here's a few shots for last week and the weekend.  have a wonderful rest of your week!


dc tulips

me in a bit of a fog or out of focus.

I have spotted two hummers so far.

Tater Bug got her spring hair cut... talk about sassy!

may apples in the woods.

happy about the only morel I found this year.  a couple of days after I found it.

wild iris blooming in the woods.

also the trout lilies.

not sure how I've not notices this tree and it's trees before.  it obviously grew new trees from it's branches years ago when it fell.

five leaf clover.

the dogwood trees are beautiful this year.

Katie Bug treed a groundhog on our Sunday walk.

the strangest tulips I own.

Weekend shots and a week of Thanksgiving.  

Thanksgiving really is one of my favorite holidays.

I like to cook and share with others.

Not to mention all the other good food to eat.

And being around family.

And making gingerbread houses.

And four wheeling.

I did all the decorating for Christmas on Sunday that I plan to do.

I feel the need and urge to just keep it simple and

decided against putting the big tree up this year.

Instead I have white Christmas lights scattered here and there with

simple glittered pine cones sparkling around.  

I put two alpine trees on top of the fireplace. 

It still really gives a bit of special to the season without 

it being everywhere. 

We also had the turkey shoot at my father-in-law's farm on Saturday.

Which was also Shaun's birthday.

All in all it was a good weekend and I'm ready for the week.

This weekend seemed to be when fall leaves were beginning to peak.

Friday night we were in bed by nine.

Early day Saturday with some much needed yoga.

Followed by an afternoon woods walk with KatieBug.

Bonfire Saturday night with friends and a little mud.

Sunday felt long but needed.  

We hung my birthday hammock.

I am in love.

The Chief.  He says nothing.
