Living in the country has both its advantages and disadvantages. One of the big disadvantages, for me, are the field mice that think they can come in the house to live. Lilly caught one mouse and killed it this last winter. However, she has certainly been slacking here lately. We have had to resort to setting traps.
Here Glen is showing Lilly what she is supposed to be catching. She was genuinely interested…..but she is still only catching, killing and eating bugs.
Glen and I took the hounds for a walk one evening last week. Along the way we encountered many critters and such.
This little guy was so cute. He posed so nicely for me and then ran off.
These ladies were a little further down the road. I love how the middle cow is sticking her tongue out.
Wild roses growing along the barbed wire fence.
We decided to take a detour through last years corn field. Not sure what made the print but whatever it was…it was huge.
Spiders were everywhere. They give me the willies!
Found this egg sitting on the side of the road all by its lonesome. It probably became a midnight snack for some critter.
Saturday I went to the Holden farmers market. While there I ran into someone I hadn’t seen since graduating high school. Paula, it was awesome seeing you! It is still very early in the growing season, so there wasn’t a huge selection yet. What I did get was incredible.
Swish chard that we cooked up in some artery clogging bacon grease…..so yummy!
Tomatoes! Nothing more really needs to be said about them. I love them so!!!
BACON! I didn’t get the bacon at the farmers market, but those tomatoes were hollering to be made into a bacon tomato sandwich. Lordy it was good!
Petey: The smell of that bacon is intoxicating!
I am actually off this weekend. Two whole days off, I can’t wait! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend 🙂
How long do you think it took before they realized this grisly addition to the grill of their vehicle?
We don’t have mulberry bushes….we have huge mulberry trees.
Just waiting on them to get ripe so we can eat them up.
Lilly: Glen, your facebook page is putting me to sleep. I prefer lolcats.
Lila: When I am feeling overly stressed, I find that taking my frustrations out on a helpless chew toy cures everything.
If the dogs get turns for lap time, then by golly Lilly is going to have her turn. She doesn’t care if she has to squeeze in with a laptop. Matter of fact, inconveniencing Glen is a huge bonus.
Like Mother Teresa, only better.

Helping you reach a better state of body and mind
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
