Here birdie, birdie

Mike made these bird houses from wood I collected at Four Cross Ranch, there are a few old homesteads with lots of interesting stuff. The roofs are from a rusted metal piece I pulled out of the wreakage. Spell check on that please. There is an Eprhata Chamber Auction friday night and Windermere has a table that Staci will decorate. Maybe she will show you pictures of the whole shebang.

Big Brown Rock

Lori, since you liked my granite thought I would show you the cooktop piece. It's called Antique leather and I just love it, the edge is a chisled rough look. I got the idea when we were out looking at homes in Denver a couple years ago, remember when we saw the two stones in one kitchen?

Fish Net Stockings

Hello leg lamp. This is the most cornball thing I have for Christmas decorations and is just makes me smile. Yeah for Christmas cheer.

I am not a boob now (Jolene)

This is girls nite in we do every year at Cathy's home on the Wenatchee River. These are the usual horse show girls Mary Jo, Cindy (she bought Peppy Doc from me) and Nancy. Her house is like a lodge, so we just roast a prime rib, drink wine and play games for the night.

Merry Christmas Everyone

OK, What does Christmas have to do with this picture? NOTHING! Again I am having camera/computer issues, they don't communicate very well and I have erased all my recent pictures of Christmas decorations, girls night in at the river house and who knows what else. That's my iron pig on the pasture fence post and Mike is out spraying weeds to keep the pasture nice and healthy for our steers. Everything is covered in snow now but should melt by the weekend and then Christmas will be here and gone and we'll be on our way to Denver (poor Emily, the Washington folk might be kind of embarrassing) you'll get used to us.

Farewell to my Favorite Horse

So sad to have let him go but Stanley is going to a new home. Just the way it is with this very expensive horse sport I love to do. I wish he could just stay in my pasture and grow old with me but Stanley has to pay for Ernie or Terri will be finding herself homeless. My friend Mary Jo filmed us on Sunday so I sent off the video today and we leave for Medford, Oregon at the end of the week for the last horse haul until next spring (is anyone crying yet?) more later.........

Stan the Man

Well, really he is Stan the horse and I have nothing to post so, I think I need to go somewhere and do something. Sometimes I really enjoy just staying home, rearranging furniture, plopping on the couch and reading or thinking about cooking but not acting on that activity.

It's hunting season and I am hoping Mike will bring home a doe eyed deer. No luck so far, they are very skiddish from all the hunters roaming about.

Yesterday I caught Ruby Sue stealing a melon from the garden. She could hardly get her jaws open wide enough to carry it, that dog has a food obsession. If she were a human she would be in a fat camp.

Happy Halloweenie Everyone.

Really, I just wanted to post before Emily did because we're both way old with our news. :)
