A Horse, A Bird, A Garden, and a Birthday..

Yes, the little bird STILL follows Shunami everywhere she goes, it warms the heart to see. Although Licorice the pony is also out in the big pasture now (the new filly will be turned out tomorrow), the bird is still faithful to Shunami as it flits from tree to weed to just hopping alongside on the ground.

Here are the latest photos!











We had some pretty vicious storms come across the Kansas and Missouri plains yseterday, which devastated many wheat fields and other crops. It came through our little town but wasn't near as strong, still though, our garden took a beating. I had taken this pic of it the other day, before it became a twisted and gnarled mess (it even ripped up some tomatoe cages!)



All is well here other than that, and we are planting a few more things in the garden to replace what was lost, plus some pumpkins! A few years back we planted pumpkins too early and had them by mid July! The vines were dying out before October had even arrived!

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday, but tonight we all went to a bar-b-que place for some good eats and to celebrate! We had a great time and I am stuffed to the brim! Isabelle got to visit with her cousin and uncle whom she doesn't see too often, and Dusty played with cousin Phoenix and found great joy in spitting spitwads through a straw at people! Thanks brother Kevin, for teaching my children how to do such ornery things! Hehe! *smack*
