Will they survive the ordeal?

Wish me luck. In a couple days I will be moved into my new home. It has this lovely orange kitchen. OK, so the kitchen color is a bit extreme, but you got to admit it has character.

I moved most of my stuff there today. The ants love it. They immediately came out to greet me in a large friendly group. They said hello from the side of my bottle of vegetable oil and crawled all over my arms crying out for attention. The mildew couldn't wait for me to say hello. It crawled out of every corner to welcome me to my new home. I think the fact that I live 25 feet from a swamp on one side and 150 feet from a turtle pond on the other encourages such neighbors to visit often.

What this house needs is AIR, and lots of it, along with a little chemical reminder to the neighbors, (ants, spiders, and other such little friendly creatures) that I live here now and they can go home to the other trailer that is inhabited by nothing other than inches of thick black mildew. I cleaned with lots of bleach and opened the doors and windows. I scrubbed out the shower and will be doing a LOT more of it.

I am going to have to be diligent about cleaning and dehumidifying my little abode. My lungs will be happier that way.

But on the other hand, the place is sunny and bright. (Just look at that bright kitchen.)

My chickens will move over in a couple of days and I am scrounging t-posts this week as soon as I have more than gas fumes in my gas tank. Then the fence will go up for the goats. And we will be HOME. MY home.

The landlord is very kind and generous. I like his wife. It feels right.

I will keep you posted on how it goes.

My hallway is orange. Not quite that bright, but still orange. Ok, well, its "burnt amber", but hey, who's counting?

The kitchen I had before I lived here, had BRIGHT red countertops and black trim. I couldnt replace them, sooooo I decorated with Coca-Cola. lol.

Now my kitchen is a rusty yellow (not sure how to describe it) and trimming in chocolate brown. It's a little weird, in a decorating sense, but hey I like it.

So, with orange........hit the yardsales, find some turquoise jewelry and some wire coat hangers (and a hot glue gun). Make yourself some bright butterflies with the stones from the jewelry as accents on the wings. It's a bright happy color......go with it!

I love the idea of turquoise butterflies! PERFECT! I NEVER would have thought of that. Hmmm. I shall keep my eyes peeled.

I love that bright orange color!! Especially in the kitchen. When we went to Mexico and stayed a month, the inside of the house was painted in bright beautiful colors!!! I loved it.

I came home to my beige, taupe, (some blue) house and it was soooo drab. I wish I had the nerve and energy to add some orange!!!

Good luck with your new place!!

You guys are really making me start to LIKE that orange kitchen. I am thinking turquoise butterflies, and bright red and black parrots and jade green frogs. Hmmm. Starting to like it indeed.

lol, I have A giant metal gecko, a metal dragon fly, two butterflies, and a metal tree on my walls.

We have a store called "Burke's Outlet" here, they sell alot of home decor items, SUPER cheap. I dont know if there is one out there or not, but if you see one, definately go in.

Oh dear! Kittens in the feed barn. Six of them. I discovered her when I heard kitten noises coming from the corner. Mama cat wasn't happy to have pictures taken.

Then I went out to the does paddock and the kids were playing. Eeyore, just under a month old, challenged Emma, the youngest to a headbutting contest. He challenges everyone. He thinks big.

"I challenge you..."

"...to a duel!"

"Game ON!"

Hyeon Seo came over to watch. He likes to take on the winner. (He is only 5 days older than Eeyore.)

"Nah, I would just BEAT YOU UP! Don't want to hurt ya. Besides my mom needs me. "

"OK, maybe next time. I'll take a nap with I Hyeon."

I Hyeon and Hyeon Seo went to sleep.

"Best spot in the paddock. Comfy and tasty at the same time."
