Just another day...on the farm!

Not a very clever post name...but oh well! Last night my yard was the epicenter of wildlife! We have a pesky racoon, who sneaks out and eats the leftover duck and cat food! I usually let him, seems to keep him away from my animals (I hear they will eat them!) But boy is he getting fat! I did my nightly check and there he was! As well as this newer visitor eating my small fish and frogs!



I know...Not very good pictures! Hey, it was early evening and well, I have a crappy camera! Plus, I had to be super secretive! That Heron has the eyes of an Eagle. You can watch him from inside the house and if you make a sudden move...he is gone, like the wind! Ok, so not like the wind, because, boy, does it take a lot of effort to push off and out. But can he manuever around trees! i live in the woods and the geese cannot make it in to our pond!
This afternoon, I found 2 deer feeding in the field beside my drive! Makes me remember why I live so far away from my job!

Here is my house:

And part of my backyard:


Since I am on a roll...I present yet another picture of my foot! I have more on Flickr. Just such a normal picture for me!


Ok, seriously! I am a parent of a junior high kid for 3 more days! The Life Skills project was finished just in the nick of time:

At least someone could teach her to sew! I can't seem to be able to teach her anything! Thank Goodness for those other teachers!
And one last pic. My latest purchase! And no, it is not yarn! It is silverware! For my ears, my arm, and my finger:

There was the Spring Art Fest in a nearby city and I took the kid and her friend and came home with silverware! too funnY!
Happy Tuesday! Friday is looming near, I can see it, I can feel it! Yippee!
