Why Oh Why....

is it that Im always counting days backwards, by the week! Good thing Ive got a text note to keep track of my P365 pics and thoughts each day :-) Ive gotta get a move on here, Kimb has been up to it again with an awesome new camping/outdoor kit and I hear that her partner in crime, digi/hybrid scrapping extraordinaire Loucee has updated her blog with a few new projects! Well worth checking out!!! Ive got a couple LO's started for the March Challenges in the forum at DSO to work on too.

Anywho, here we go...for today (friday the 13th, eek) we have our resident blanket Houdini...Tyson! Let me tell ya, this boy can shimmy outta just about anything...we've had just one blanket that he couldnt get off and its now just a rag of fabric from his trying to eat it since he couldnt get it off. After a couple years (and a couple useless tries) we finally found one that he hasnt been able to get off, yet!

Yesterday (march 12) was DD Brandi's 26th Birthday...at our house the birthday person gets to pick dinner, the what and where. Jimmy's Char House is her fav and we had a great family meal together, Thanx for a wonderful evening :-)

March 11...Dylan Sings! Well in keeping with all his "1st" lately, here he is at the school Spring Concert...do you recognize him there in the front with his tie on? Yep, thats the same tie he wore to the birthday dinner, turns out he likes dressing up, hehehe.

March 10...its the first thing I see every morning, Gunner. Yep, thats it...those eyes and that nose, how could I NOT wake up in a good mood, LOL

March 9...Gracie's Peace Lily. The fact that its still living is a miracle all in itself as I have all black thumbs (really, I do!), with Brandi's birthday this week I found myself looking into it pondering some of lifes mysteries. It was given to us during a sad time in our family so its very melancholy and I thought this photo really picked up on those feelings, dont you?

March 8...Session 1 Bootie Bag. Yeah, session 1 done on one of the bags anyway. We are already into session 2 so I better get crackin on these. Its supposed to be no pressure but I really dont wanna get too far behind...especially since I signed up for 2, hehehe

March 7...Blog Award, Thanx Jazzy! Jazzy is wonderful person and its a great honor for me to receive an award from her. She has a great blog, I luv her wordart and LO's and you can look her up on her blog here or at DSO! Since this has turned into the never ending post Ill just post up the pics/awards and come back to nominate other deserving folks in the blogging community tomorrow :-)

IF THE SHOE FITS is for people with enthusiasm.

The MARIE ANTOINETTE AWARD this award is given to bloggers who are perceived to be "real in who they are"


Ok, you are officially off the hook and Im outta here, hehehe...see ya soon!

If I Hurry...

Ill be caught up with P365, for now, hehehe! I starting with today as it was a beautiful spring day and perfect for a drive...which we did :-) Off to pick up Sammy for the last time, Thanks for the wonderful day Sammy. We love the drive up to Madison, all the little farmettes and old barns across the rural countryside...over the years it had become one of our getaway weekend spots, even though now its been more than a few since we've been that far from home, eeekkk. Anywho, besides really enjoying just riding along on a sunny spring day with the my soulmate, we were able to find this little waaayyy out of the way restraurant that we had discovered way be when. Sorry, the barn shots were taken going 70 down the highway, LOL


March 5...Colby Visits The Farm-Colby is my great-nephew (I think, ggg) and he was excited to see the horses, chickens and tractors on a real farm :-) Buddy, Dylan and Colby...Boys will be boys and they were off, hehehe


March 4...Spring Cleaning At The Farm-Yaa, he looks like he is working hard doesnt he, hahaha! See all that stuff in the back of the wagon, wll, they had about 5 of those and thats just the beginning, eeek. Yeah, its Warm(er) and Sunny!


March 3...Dylans 1st School Pic-I cropped out the rest of the class for this one as somehow the photography company ruined the first round of individual photos, huh? They did do retakes so those should be coming soon...isnt he handsome, ggg


Feb26-only one day left from Febuary to get in here and Thank Goodness for that, for being the shortest month of the year it certainly seemed like the longest!!! I finished off with a good one though...MWAH Casino, Luv Ya (and you too "Kid" back there)!

P365 Update...

and more, ggg. Wellllll, where has this week gone???

Thats actually good news as it means our little 3 day weekend (sun thru tues) is only 2 days away, yeah! Only going 10 minutes up the road "where its always 86 and sunny", thats what they say anyway, Ill let you know, hehehe. If you wanna check it out... http://keylimecove.com/ Looks like a good place to take pictures too, all those bright colors :-)

Today was February Treatment Day...YaaHoo, I was on time AND I remembered the camera! Thanx Jaymi, Debbie and Angelina for taking such good care of me and for playing P365 :-) Good Job Angelina for help working the camera too, I was totally impressed! Warning...no sleeping in for me this morning and florescent lighting, eeekkk!


Feb4, finally a pic of Mac. He is the primadonna of canines here on Willow Farm, you'll never find him bounding around in any snow! Oh no, we're doing good to get him off the porch...he wears his dry southern heritage proudly and has no intentions of ever getting his feet wet unless absolutely necessary, bwahaha! There will be better pics of Mac and Molly as the weather warms up and drys out :-)


and finally for Feb 3rd, the Surprise Photo, hahaha! Its a little somethin' for DH that Im giving him on "our" Valentine Weekend...Ill have to come back afterwards to edit the real pic in, ggg. Hugs to a special friend for helping me out with this, for now I hope she knows who she is :-)
***the big reveal*** Thanx Loucee for helping me, I couldnt have gotten it finished without you, Hugs GF!

ok, thats it from me today...lots to do over the next couple days so I better get some rest!

Ever Wonder...

how a horse takes care of his teeth? Probably not but if you keep reading you'll find out a little, ROFL! The Vet...Oh, Dentist...does housecalls so theres a start...

Give 1 "Martini" for nerves and get the head gear on! Just like human dentists use for root canals...in horse size, ggg. No worries...this is a completely painless precedure for the horse, from start to finish :-)



Horses grind their food (not chew) so Dr Mann uses the drill to flatten wavey surfaces and files any sharp edges that have developed...Thanx Bo for helping Frango to stay steady :-)



Lucky (and Dudley, way back in the corner of the pic) after its all done, Thanx Dr Mann and Bo :-)



more than you ever wanted to know, right, hehehe...Awww, just another day in the life of a *spoiled* horse

The Subject Line

am I the only one who struggles with Titles? Doesnt matter what its for but for some odd reason I have a real problem coming up with a short one word/short line description of just about everything, WHAAA!

Before time gets away from me I wanna Thank the ladies who stopped by and left their "gotta have em" Scrapbooking Supplies Lists for me, you girls RAWK, MWAH!

Once again playing catch up with P365, least it gives me something to chat about...and by "chat" refer to the first paragraph here cause Ive got 3 days to cover, hehehe

For Jan 26, Whats your guilty pleasure? Mine is Winter Warmth, I know its not good BUT I dont abuse it and it makes me an oh so much happier person to be around thru the gray months, LOL.



Next up (Jan 27) is Sammy on his daily walk...he is doing really well and you have to listen to tell anything is off. 5 Weeks to go...Hugs to Alicia for helping him out


Caught this one this afternoon, funny how one pic can define the depth of the season...On Willow Farm Pond



ok, thats it for me for now ..till next time!
*hey, thats a one liner, hahahahaha*

ps...Bunny, hope you and your family are staying warm and dry!

ok...

so this time its 3 days before I got back here, hahaha! I havent gotten a pic for today yet but wanted to get the last 2 days up so I stay on track :-)

Did everyone spend the day glued to the tv on Tuesday, Jan 20, 2009...Inauguration Day? I know I did and there I was, camera in hand shooting away at it knowing that not all of them would turn out. Well wait till you see what actually happened in one of the shots...the picture on the screen was changing and my camera caught both! Pretty Awesome, dont ya think...except for the screen glare, grrrr



Week 3 of my Sew Along Bag...Im luving how this little baby is coming along, only one more week to go! The fabric Im using for this project is by Amy Butler, its from the Lotus Collection. There are so many places online that sell her fabrics, she has a few places listed on her website...I got mine from www.fabric.com



Well, I guess I should get busy round the house here and see what comes up for todays P365 photo...oh, maybe I should get a shot of that laundry piling up, LOL! Have a Great Day!!!
