365 Pictures 7 - 13 April

Another week has flown by.  The house is still the same.  We couldn't have any digging done this week because of all the rain we got.  But, it looks like we have found someone who thinks he can find the problem & solve it.  Hopefully he can come tomorrow & by the end of the week we hopefully will know if our problem is fixable or not.  Not sure what I have for this week, so lets take a peek

Sunday 7 April

No pics today but you ever have a day when you take tons of pics, & then have to narrow it down to one or two.  That was Monday, so here is the beautiful sunrise in the fog I was able to watch Monday morning

Monday 8 April

We had a rain storm come through between the sunrise & when I needed to leave the house.  I started to leave & saw this cute little bunny

He was drying off under my jeep

He let me get within 6 feet of him

Then he ran to my yard

Oh, you are still taking my picture, stalker.

Tuesday 9 April

No pic so one from the deer cam

 What are you looking at???  This is one ugly looking bird

Wednesday 10 April

No pic so one from the deer cam

 Getting ready to take off or this is my feeder, all mine, not sharing

Thursday 11 April

No pic so one from the deer cam

 

This was actually taken today.  This is a buck, if you look close you can see the "button" (bump) of his antler starting to grow.  We should soon see some rack starting to show up.

 

Friday 12 April

No pic, not even one from the deer cam, oh well

Saturday 13 April

Today my husband who does not really like muscials went with me to see the Broadway production of Mary Poppins.

 

Of course you are not allowed to take any pictures during the show, so this is us waiting for the show to begin, and we waited because the show started 55min. late.  There was a problem with an alarm system going off behind stage.  Once they got that fix, it was a wonderful afternoon.  My husband enjoyed the production & said for me to pick out another one for next year & he would go with me.  If you get a chance to see this I highly recommend it.

Well that is my week.  Hope all of you had a great week.  God Bless

 

365 Pictures 24 March - 6 April

Wow, another two weeks went by fast.  It has been a stressful two weeks & this last week I didn't take any pictures.  But, the deer cam got some great shots. 
Life lesson- I prayed for about 10 years to move from where we live to the next town over.  I had a lot of reasons, but God never seemed to open the door.  So a couple years back I finally prayed God make me be content where I am.  Well, I'm content, still hoping to move in the future when the boys are done with college & we have the loans paid off.  Now that I'm content & have lived in the same house 22 years, it looks like God is telling us it is time to move.  We are having some problems with our house & they may be unfix-able forcing us to move to a new home. Of course I'm like but wait Lord, our house is paid off; I don't want to go into debt on a new house; we can't afford to move until the boys are done with college; surely I need more time on the lesson of being content.  So please pray for us as we make some major decision this week & follow God's will no matter what.

Okay here are my two weeks

Sunday 24 March 2013

We didn't make it to church this morning because of a wonderful snow/ice storm that came in last night.  The birds were going crazy at the feeders.  This poor little house finch was hanging on for dear life waiting his turn to eat.

Monday 25 March 2013

We are iced in at least I'm, hubby made it to work.  Birds were on day 2 of going crazy at the feeder.  I took several pictures.  I love the house finch in this one, getting ready to take a dive into the snow (ha, ha)

Tuesday 26 March 2013

Deer cam - our ballerina turkey enjoy the free corn & snow

Wednesday 27 March 2013

Deer cam - we caught a bobcat running past.  I'm so glad we don't have any calves on the farm.  This is the third picture of a bobcat in three weeks.  We hope it is the same one & not a pack of them. 

Thursday 28 March 2013

Deer Cam - okay this is becoming predator cam!  Here is a coyote with a nice coat of fur.  Another rare pic to get.

Friday 29 March 2013

We are celebrating Easter tomorrow.  It is my turn to host the Marshall Family Easter but because of our house problems, we rented the community center.  We are also celebrating my niece Ali's 9th birthday two weeks early since the whole family will be together.  Guess what? She asked for a Mini Mouse cake, so here it is Mini Mouse #2

Saturday 30 March, 2013

We went driving this evening to check on the eagle's nest we found last week.  No eagles yet, but it may be a couple of years since they build two or three nest & rotate between them.  While waiting a storm started to come in.  I love cloud pictures. 

 

Sunday 31 March, 2013

Happy Easter everyone!!!  He has risen, just as He said!!!!

This week except for one day is going to be all from the deer cam.

 My son Josh & his grandpa, checking out animal tracks as the refill the feeder.  Time like these will become a treasure.

Monday 1 April 2013

Can you believe the year is 1/4 done?!?!

The turkeys are starting to strut & in front of the camera.  I pick this one because of the turkey strutting & the beams of light shining on his stage of dancing

Tuesday 2 April 2013

A little deer is either doing a little dance or being naughty & kicking another deer away from the feeder

 

Oh, did you catch that on the camera, I'm busted.

Wednesday 3 April 2013

Strutting for the camera.

Thursday 4 April 2013

I love this little doe - she is thinking

Dude, what is wrong with you, you're all swell up, did you eat something bad???

 

Friday 5 April 2013

I'm outta here, there is going to be a fight

 

Saturday 6 April 2013

I spent the day dusting & recording all of my precious moments I have in my dining room hutch.  By recording I mean I took a picture of each one.  I would love to share each one with you & their special meaning to me but we would be here for awhile, so here is one of my favorite

The title -   My Soldier, My Hero. 

 I have 7 precious moments figurines that represent the 7 tours my husband completed during the Iraq war and the Lord bringing him home safely.  This one was for number 7.

 

Well, that is two weeks caught back up.  I hope to do better this up coming week.

Have a great week, & God Bless

365 Pictures 10-23 March

Hello,
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!!!!  Hope you have a blessed Palm Sunday.  We woke up to ice & 3 inches of snow with more coming down.  Won't be able to make it to church this morning, roads are TOO slippery.

Well I miss last week, sorry.  I don't know where that week went, but have pictures for it.  The first week my oldest son was home for spring break.  This past week my youngest son was home for spring break & then all 4 of us were together for Friday & Saturday.  So here are my two weeks.....

Sunday 10 March, 2013

Well, we finally filled up our bird feeders & of course the squirrels have found it too

Monday 11 March, 2013

 

The turtle doves are back.

Tuesday 12 March, 2013

Okay, subbed all day today, so I stole a picture from the deer cam.  Really should be called the turkey cam, we had more of those than deer.  They are starting to fight each other for male dominance. This one is strutting to so he is the boss.

Wednesday 13 March, 2013

 

This one is in full strut but with his back to us.  I hoping this coming week we will get one with the turkey facing the camera

 

 

Thursday 14 March, 2013

 

I put out a suet block for the woodpeckers today & Mr. Squirrel found it instead.

 Friday 15 March, 2013

Mr. Squirrel decided to bring a friend today.  Love both of them hanging upside down to get the food

 Saturday 16 March, 2013

 Motor made a great escape outside.  Our cats are indoor cats, less flea problem.  He immediately ran to the back & parked himself outside my picture window to wait for the birds to come to the feeder.  The birds were too smart for him & never came.

 Sunday 17 March, 2013

 

 I gave my presentation of my trip to Cameroon, Africa at church tonight for evening service.  My hubby took the picture for me.  I wearing a hand made shirt I bought in Cameroon.

Monday 18 March, 2013

 

I think the cats are glad Josh is home for the week.

 Tuesday 19 March, 2013

 Fuzzy & Josh taking a nap together.  She is starting to have some health problems like here sister, so we may have to put her to sleep next.

Wednesday 20 March, 2013

 I subbed all day.  Josh borrowed my camera to take some pictures for one of his conservation classes.  He was trying to get some pictures of different birds.  He also decided to get some pictures of other things.  This old wagon is on a farm near ours.  He calls this picture "Time Marches On"

  Thursday 21 March, 2013

 We had a bobcat come through at 11:56pm.  Wish he would walk a little slower so we could get a better picture.  We had two pictures of bobcats this week.

Friday 22 March, 2013

 We have had a problem all week with a sewer smell coming into the house.  Our sewer line is fine, so the guy who check it said to start looking under the house for some sort of leak where the city line connects in.  Our house is at least 116 years old or older.  This is an old air vent that is under our washing machine.  We opened the vent to look under this part of the house since the smell is strongest here.

My son Josh hung upside down to look under & everything is dry.  We did find this old well that they built the house over with a pipe attached to it.  The pipe does go into our basement, but is shut off because they ran the well dry before we bought the house in 1991.  Why would you build a house over a well???  This is the second well this house was built over.

Saturday 23 March, 2013

Wood came home Friday night to spend some time with his brother & us.  Saturday we went to the firing range & shot some pistols.  This is me firing a revolver.

 On the way home, Josh spotted this American Bald Eagle Nest near our home.  He took the picture with his camera because it has a better zoom than my camera.  Now we will have to watch & see when the eagles come back to use it.

 

Well, there are my two weeks.  Have a great week coming up.

Hi all,
Well it has been a busy week.  I have been gone from home almost everyday & I didn't get to many pictures taken but here is what I have to offer for this week.

Sunday 3 March 2013

This evening we celebrated my grand niece, Carrigan's 1st birthday.

I was looking out the window of the building we were in celebrating Carrigan's birthday.  I saw this old house in the snow & had to take a picture

 

Monday 4 March 2013

I had our Women on Mission meeting this morning at church.  We are down to one car this week, so I dropped my husband off at work & got to church a little early but just in time to see the sun starting to come up over the town of Bethany.

Tuesday 5 March 2013 

We refilled our bird feeders this evening & within  an hour they birds were coming to eat.  Here is my first bird picture for 2013. I love cardinals

Wednesday 6 March 2013

 My first sunrise home, taken out of my back picture window

Monday 25 Feb 2013

I had bought some Red Velvet pancake mix to use for Valentine's day.  Since I was gone, we had them tonight for supper.  They cooked a little fast but still were very good.

Tuesday 26 Feb 2013

The big snow storm is here.  This was taken around 6:30am.  We have about two inches of snow on the ground & ended up with 6 inches by the end of the day.

Wednesday 27 Feb 2013

Didn't get pics taken the next two days, so here are some from the deer cam.

The snow has driven the birds to eat out of the deer feeder.  I love the cardinals & blue jays in this pic.

Thursday 28 Feb 2013

Another new animal on the farm.  The animal to the right is a mink.  Yep, we have minks on our farm, along with the deer, turkeys, foxes & bobcats.  It is turning in to a zoo out there.

Friday 1 March 2013

Pamper day - while I was gone my hubby was so nice & got me a gift certificate for a pedicure for Valentine's day.  I decided to use it today because my feet need some extra pampering after my trip.

Saturday 2 March 2013

I spent the morning make a birthday cake for my grand niece Carrigan's 1st birthday.  Here is Minnie!!!

Okay there are my weeks!!!  Yeah, I'm caught up again.  Can't wait to see your post & what I have missed.  It is good to be back. Have a great week.
