the one picture on Inman is an excellent example of the right way to take a picture of your animal. You can see space between the front legs and the back legs and in between the front legs, and in between the back legs. And yo are low with the camera and you are at almost a 45 degree angle off the front shoulder. Really nice photo of him.

I figured you would like that picture. He posed like that several times for me, then moved...I'm glad I snapped that one. He amazes me every time I look at him. He's just soo thick! I can't wait to see his kids!

I finally got the last chick, three turkey poults, and three goslings outside! Thanks GOD! I also moved some of my younger birds around, I had to move three cockrels into a small dog cage as they weren't letting my Lavender Orp babies eat!

I started a project last year that had to be held off till this year. I had our old ugly looking ever green bushes pulled out from in front of the front porch. Those things looked AWFUL! So, I had to wait til this year to get the small bought river rocks taken out and put down around my aunts house. Then I had to find the perfect bushes to put out, ended up getting a pink hydrangea bush, butterfly bush and two holly bush type things. So, today I finished putting a tractor bucket load of field rocks around the house, now to start on another. I swear rocks grow better then the grass does up here!


Here is the front of the house, it's from a few weeks ago so the bushes are in the ground and I changed the porch around a little. It is looking sooo much better though.

Where I live they send out crews every year to pick rocks from the fields. EVERY year....it's a back breaker of job.

I was told they freeze up out of the ground.....I swear they seed off! We should do that hear!

One of 'my' small fields (goat/sheep) has a ton every year, I pick them in the fall then the next year they're back! We've actually started adding dirt in some places its so bad.

Now to ME, that's a perfect front porch. It will be great once you get your plants in and they grow a bit.

We watched "Hatfields and McCoys" on TV the other night and the scenery was terrific. I've not been to the Virginias, but that part of the US may be even more scenic than OKlahoma. LOL>>>>>

You have a touch with the decorating too!!

Nice.

Eleven, you can have them!

They're good for decorating, filling holes in the ground, I've put some around fence posts just to get them out of the field, made rock piles for the goats to play on, and put some beside a goat trail leading out to the barn....just cause. I've thought of selling them, but I don't have the time to pick the darn things! We have a hill right as you are pulling into our driveway we filled it with rock #1 the grass was poor #2 we needed a place to put some rocks and #3 it looks pretty nifty.

DonnaBelle, it is looking awesome, I'm really happy with how its turning out. Though I'm not sure about those large flower pots I would have liked to use some wooden barrels but they don't last very long for the price you have to pay. Then I wanted to use some old wash tubs but they wouldn't last either, perhaps I'll just stick with these cream pots.
That was a great series, I didn't really know much about all that. It looks pretty well as they showed it on tv, buncha hills!
Thank you, I like doing things outside and 'playing' with flowers and such.

It rained all stinkin' day. I didn't do much of anything but update my website. Our internet is slooww so that took most of the day.

On the side of the house, there are supposed to be trumpet vines coming up some ornamental grass, in the pot are some morning glories and some other kind of vine supposed to be coming up in the green pot but I don't think I put them out early enough. I also haven't gotten all the rocks down yet, gotta go pick some more!

Finally got my bush cucumbers and old time tomatoes out. This isn't the garden, just some things I wanted to put out by the house. We actually have two large gardens.
And the little chicken coop where my Lavender Orps are.
