Random Pix On My Camera!

There are usually a zillion pictures of a horse or two...

Sharif Najem

...yes, he's for sale...

Here is my first attempt at a new kind of bread. It has a secret ingredient...It was wonderful and oh, so chewy!!!

Also, there are a few unusual cat photos...

in various positions...

This is Theodore our latest fur ball!

Last but not least...I'm forever trying to catch the changing light and it's effects on the view from my Kitchen window. Our valley is beautiful this year and the whole panorama can't be truly captured. You'll just have to enjoy this little slice!

So, that sums up my random life!!!

Porch Addition!!!

My hubby finally found a Saturday to get the rail on my porch...

...a multifunctional rail...

So here are the "Befores"...

...and here are the "Afters",

as you can see, it also serves as a cubby to stack our wood...

Now, all I need to do is finish landscaping and plant grass!!!

Thanks, Shawn, great job!!!

What? A Trebuchet?

Shallen and his friend Cedar had free rein in the barn on Saturday...

...with permission, of course!

Needless to say, it was pretty awesome when they got it done.

Later Kelton tweaked it and got it to fire a rock about 90 ft. into the field.

I guess we're now ready for invasion:D

Husbands??? ---Part 2

Okay, so I know my guy is a workaholic...a well known fact...

but he also has a fixation...

HORSES!!!

His love affair with horses began before me...

...but quickly our family was integrated to having these creatures around.

AND...

it was always Arbaians...

Kyri soon fell in love as well...at least for a time:)

...evenings are often spent "messing" with the horses...

I guess one of the best ways to make Shawn smile is to see other kids ride...

...sometimes it's the first time...

...usually just with a lead rope around a field...

...sometimes in the cold...

...But the bottom line is he's happiest when a stallion acts like a nutcase and gives Shawn a ride for his life, that is when his smile is the biggest and the stories begin...

Here's happy trails to you, Babe...

Husband?? What does your's do?

Some men specialize, some are jacks-of-all-trades, and some fixate...

Treeplanter

Electrician

Gardener

Builder

--this is one of many variations of greenhouses--

Tractor Driver

Woodworker

Re-modeler

These are just to name a few...my family says the way we have family time is to get together and watch Dad work. Mostly we help here and there, but he likes to be busy gettin'er done.

Okay, next time I'll let you in on the rest of the story...What he's really into!!!
