Look what I made!

Ok...yes, I am tooting my own horn a bit here, but check out the cake I made last week for an early 4th celebration! Pretty cool, right? Also, the cake was made FROM SCRATCH, so I'm pretty proud of that as well. I think I'll make this a new tradition....

Farm fun activities

Just a few pictures of us around the farm, doin', well, farm stuff! =)
Kayla riding Woody the horse, going to see Gabby the goose, holding one of the baby goats, riding the big swing, picking blueberries, and standing in front of the growing corn crop. The girls sure are building some pretty cool memories while we're here!

Blessings!

Chicken snake, anyone?

Ok, kind of a gross story, but the girl's Pawpaw shot a chicken snake the other day. It had gotten into the chicken/duck/dove pin and unfortunately, had already dined on one of the doves. Pawpaw shot it right between the eyes, cut the belly open to get the dove out, and strung it up so we could all see his kill. =)
Before hanging it up, he measured it, just for record of course.....
5 feet 4 inches! That's one big chicken snake! The girls were amazed and wanted to know why it had so many flies on it. I told them the flies were having "snake buffet." Here they are with the snake in the background. It's the thing next to the green garden hose.

Ahhhh....life on a farm!
