our cows



We have a dirt road in front of our house and then there's the cows. We call them "our" cows but, really their the neighbors. We love them like their ours though!We'll be in the house and one of the children will yell "the cows are out" and everyone runs to look, especially this time of the year when there are new babies, which right now there are three.



These are not your regular everyday cows, these are Scottish Highlanders. Long shaggy hair they look almost like yaks! Our neighbors have raised them for years and these dear cows barn is bigger than my house! They rotate them on different fields on different days thats why were excited when their in "our" field.




We were happy when a few years ago they put up a windmill. "Our" very own windmill. How nice. The fields across from us can never be built on because the Everett water main runs through the middle of it. So, we've been told anyway.



Well, I'm going to go vacumn my room, it's not perfect(my manly man's stuff)
but, it's lovely to me.
I guess I didn't picture myself still doing so much cleaning and picking up when I was this age. Since Jim has more time now, he also has more time to create more messes and it's kinda like having children.(not quite that bad)I find it very frustrating but I can't just give up or I'd go crazy. So....I try to deal with it the best I can and remember what a great man and husband he is. Am I the only one?

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
