Latest Happenings....

  Hello Everyone!!  Sorry it has been so long since I posted.  
  Here's a little update about whats been happening out here in AZ   :)

 First of all, Monsoon season has finally arrived!!! Yay!!!  Its so wonderful to see big storm clouds rolling in and to smell the rain and hear it on the roof   :)  

Last week when a storm was rolling in we got a really bad dust storm ahead of it, it was so windy it sounded like the house was gonna blow over.

                     
                 Last week our dog tore apart my wreath......this is what it used to look like.

                     
       This is what it looked like after Bandit was finished with it.  The white pieces of wood are whats left of the wooden letter S that I had added to the wreath since the above picture had been taken.....

   
           So, I had to make a new wreath.  I actually like the new one better than the old one :)

                  The little birds nest is from PA, the birds made it out of my horse's hair.

 

                                           ~ My sunflowers are finally starting to bloom~

 The corn is getting really tall.  This field was the last planted so its not as tall as the other fields at the main farm.

       
          Last week I decided that this shelf in the hall bathroom needed a new paint job.....

         This is what it looked like when i was finished.  I drapped a fish net over it and on the wall, to add to the ocean theme :)

                   
     
   July 4th we went to the Sierra Vista fireworks display, before the fireworks the milatary orchestra played a few patriotic songs then the army fired cannons.  We had alot of fun :)

      This past Saturday Jaylon's brother Justin came over and helped Jaylon dig the holes for the fence posts, and concrete in the posts for the chain link fence in the back yard.

              They got all the posts done except for 4.  They worked hard till dark, so of course I made them a yummy supper, chicken enchiladas and blueberry cheesecake dessert  :)

                             
     
    This morning I stepped out the door to slip on my flipflops and got scared by this creepy snake.  It was just a harmless Bull snake.  So I got the shovel and killed a snake for the first time lol.

Well hope you'll enjoyed this little update :) 

 Have a great week :)

Baby Owl

  Hello Everyone!
  This morning Jaylon was spraying the corn field beside our house, and I was riding along with him.  When we drove past the house we saw this baby owl under the trees.  So of course we had to stop the tractor and get out to see him, he was so cute.  But don't be fooled by his cuteness lol he had very long claws, and his mom and dad were keeping a watchful eye on him....

                   
                                He was very clumsy lol, he fell backwards several times

                                                                   
                                                     Bandit got a little too curious.......

 
       This Owl was up in the tree keeping a watchful eye on its baby.  I never knew Owls clicked their beaks together when they were upset.  You can hear the Owl in the tree doing it, and the baby was doing it to.

A little greener...

  Hello Everyone!!
Things have been looking a little greener around here lately....
                                                                       
                                   This is half of my little garden.  I can't wait until the sunflowers bloom :)

                                                My first two sweet peas..they were really yummy!

                                             
  The corn is starting to grow too.  This field was the last field planted so its not very tall.  The corn at the other farm was planted first and is already almost knee high.

I recently bought some flowers and planted them at my porch :)

Jaylon got a "green" fixer up mower that he's been working on :o) 

  He finally got the mower fixed and is now enjoying mowing our nice green front yard with it.  Its alot easier than mowing it with the push mower like we used too :)

       The other week, we went through this yard and pulled out piles of tumbleweeds and a prickly weed called goatheads.

The pecan trees are getting nice and green

                                         
                                               The sunset was really pretty that evening :)

                                             

 Since moving to AZ I have come to really appreciate greenery.  To have anything green out here you have to water it consistently ever day.  But I still Love AZ, even though its dry and brown, its beautiful in its own way :)
