Some weekends are good . . .

What can I say of this weekend?  Well, it's over!  HA!

It's been one of those fun weekends, the kind you just want to sit back and say "aaaaaaaaah!"

a)  Riding lawn mower was not working, so it was HUFF PUFF and push it till nearly half the lawn (about .75acres) was mowed, THEN the darned rider starts effortlessly!!!  Below is a little organic snack I found in the lawn, "Dandeshroom Salad anyone??"

Okay, Okay ... so mowing the lawn is boring, but it DOESN'T HAVE TO BE!!!  I dressed this pile of mushrooms with dandelions and added hashi and holder ... very appetizing!

b) I started a tow service, no start up fee.  Had to haul my hubby and "effortlessly purring" riding lawn mower out of the ditch TWICE.  He thanked me and said I was the cutest tow driver he's seen!  HA!

c)  I cleaned and made ready the guest room, and ALREADY have guests!!!  Ms Kitty carried all three kittens up the stairs to their NEW play arena, my freshly organized guest room!   

I hope you all are having an Aloha Monday!!!  Why wait for Friday to celebrate Aloha:  carry some around with you every day of the week!

Sneaky slithering snakes!

This farm  life is  proving to  be more  eventful  than I ever  bargained  for.  One evening as we were bringing our dinner to the den to eat, I heard an odd sound in the  darkened  hallway.  I looked down and  only saw the  shadow of  something laying across the heater vent on the floor.  I kept asking ... WHAT IS IT ..WHAT IS IT???  We turned on a light and heard a "rattle"  OMG .. I just KNEW it was a baby rattlesnake in my hallway!!!   Well, after careful research, we discovered it was none other than an eastern milksnake, complete with rattle imposter. 

And then a day or so later, the farmer ran

across a garter snake in the outer pasture.  Of course, we, being city folk, had to research to be SURE.  And, me being a snap baby snap kinda gal, I had to snap baby snap!  These are about as good as it gets for now.  I am sure, as we are in the BOONIES ... REALLY in the BOONIES, that we will encounter countless opportunities to assert my photographic passions!
