Our 4th Anniversary

The laundry room.
Kitchen and dinning room with a roof to shelter us from rain one night.
Our bedroom nicely decorated with gnome flannel sheets and a few quilts.

A close up of the kitchen.

We went to Brevard, North Carolina and camped at Ash Grove. We love, love and love this place. It is so nice and the owners are awesome. The county has over 250 waterfalls and we were lucky and visited 8 of them (I think). If it was warmer and we had our swimsuits on we could of gone swimming at the bottom of most of them.

50 All-Time New Uses for Old Things

Do you ever wonder what else you can recycle besides plastic, glass, cans and newspaper. Well, check out this neat article that MSN had to see what you can do with everyday items.

Weather Pixie

I wanted everyone to see my cute new weather girl on my sidebar below the blogs I visit. She is free at Weather Pixie. So hop on over their and get you a cute little girl or boy.

Various Things

Here is a recycling station the I made three weekends ago. It is a lot easier to sort it out than putting it all in one container. We got the 30 gallon drums from a local cleaners for free. If you make one or have one similar I would love to see it.

Aubie waiting on me the other night to come to bed. It was only 7:30 but I decide to crawl into bed early and read some.

Some cute baby booties that I ordered off of Etsy from MoJo. My best friend from childhood, April is expecting and I could not resist getting these for her. We used to eat ramen noodle everyday after school.
My new washer and dryer that will be delivered Friday. Keith replaced the belt in the dryer in February and then Monday he came and got me out of my sewing room and said the washer was on fire. It was the belt burning but when he replaced that and it didn't work he agreed that I actually we could get a whole new set. It was like being in a candy store looking at all the great new options. Keith had his from his bachelor days and there wasn't even a delicate cycle. I am so excited!!!

The block that I made for Tara for the Bee Balm quilting bee I am apart of. I hope she likes it...

Chickens Locked Out

Saturday we went to Auburn, Alabama to tailgate with close friends and watch Auburn play West Virginia. We left at 5:30 am Saturday and didn't get home until 2:45 am Sunday morning. With that said we didn't check the chickens when we got home. This morning or should I say very late morning (11:00 am) when I got up I went to check on them and they were locked out in the run. Come to find out the power was off for a good amount of time Saturday night and the timers for the coop door to open and close automatically was way off. So when I manually opened the door this was the scene in the nest bucket area within about 10 minutes of them being let back in. I heard 3 eggs hit the nest buckets and saw one.
Yes that is 2, I said 2 chickens in 1 five gallon bucket.

My sweet little Sasa, I love that little chicken.

Bonnie or Blondie (golden hen), we can't tell the two apart and a Rhode Island Red in another box. The RIR was done just trying to get out.

Some call it grouse I call it neat, a true fresh egg. It is still shiny because of the protective coating on it is wet.

Sunday's Breakfast

We had French Toast with fresh eggs from my ladies and fresh Cantaloupe picked off the vine about 5 minutes before I cut it open. Sorry to brag but it was so neat going outside and coming back in and whipping up a meal.

I am not sure why this photo will not turn around. Sorry I uploaded it twice :(

Keith's Birthday

For Keith's birthday we went to Providence Canyon also called Little Grand Canyon. They have 9 canyons and you can walk the floor of them. Keith and I checked out 3 and then walked around the top of the canyons. It is nice but sadly it seems that it is getting overgrown by kudzu. Enjoy the pictures as we enjoyed the hike.

What A Look!

This is the look I got from the hubbie when he opened his birthday present from me last night. His glasses kinda give a glare so you can't see his eye but it was a "You Sneaky Woman" kinda look. He had no idea or so I think and every week since I started (May 2009) he has been asking when am I going to make him one. So he got one for his 29th birthday.

Thank you Daniel and Kevin for the help!!!!
