Rooster update........Duck egg update..... Do you remember the Rooster I posted about last week?  Maybe it was week before last? Well....he has become the Town Rooster.   He has been "everywhere man." Cemetery, McDonalds, The Bank, Taco Bell, and he even crossed a four lane highway, to get to our local grocery store.   I did find out that his name is "Ronnie" and he belongs to no one!  He is a roaming Rooster. Mother duck is no where to be found.  No evidence of something getting her, however, the eggs have been abandoned.  Now, it is too late to put them ..read more

 Did you go on a "Babymoon" before your first child was born?  Second child, or Third child??

The spillway is running over.... This is the water running on the other side of the spillway. Sam was making sure that the boats were not filling up with rain water.  While he was on the dock, this ↓↓↓↓ is what he fou ..read more

If you are able to blow all of the seeds of a dandelion off at once, the person you love will love you back.

I remember as a child, my sister and I would go out looking for dandelions. It was a competition for us, in seeing who could coll ..read more
