What's happening...Down on the Farm!!

We have been busy here on the farm.

I was studying for a test I had on Saturday. Fingers crossed!!


Cowboy was reading up on chickens and gardening.



We have been blogging for 1 year on the 16th!!!

Dinner with the family for Cole's birthday

Check out what's growing at our house

Roses...too bad they are on the side of the house that we rarely frequent. The neighbors see them more than us, : (

A pretty pink flower bush, sorry don't know the name

My herb garden. Many things are going to seed but we still have a lot growing. My Cowboy bought me the birdbath on Sunday. I can't wait to wake up Saturday morning to the birds playing in it.

While I was taking my test, My Cowboy and the neighbor were working on the garden. They had to stop because they ran out of stained wood. Obviously, I am the only painter in the family or he missed me.

Bridal bouquet

Mini roses

Lime tree

CORN!!

Strawberries. We have had them for 2 years now. On the third year, they are ready for picking.

Cabbage. How perfect does that look??!!!

Cucumbers getting ready to grow on the ladder.

Potatoes, onion, squash, beans

Beans. Yes, we have funeral home stakes propped up for the beans to grow on. Hey, they were free, sturdy and will work great.

Asparagus. They grow like a fern at first and then next year we will see changes. We won't be able to eat them until the third year, like the strawberries.

Blueberries

Grapevine

Flowers!!!

Flowers blooming on the chives

Our lil worm friend

Flowers on the cilantros

The growing babies

REMINGTON!!! He turned 14 months old on the 17th.

OK so hopefully we are all caught up. There is still a lot of things going on but that will have to wait for another post. Now I'll have to take some time to check in with all of you.

Happy Birthday Lil Bro!!

Happy 26th Birthday!!!

We hope you have a

great day tomorrow!!

Me, Cole and My Cowboy

Questions answered and Cornbread Salad

Happy Wednesday to you all!!

Y'all are so sweet to ask about my "After church Easter dress" HA!!! I think I got it at Kohl's. I say I think because I really don't remember and the tag does me no good. I got it last summer. Once My Cowboy was laid off last July it's been strange/difficult/weird to get something for myself so I have been shopping in the back of my closet. My church dress was actually a shop in the closet find too. I bought it the weekend before the layoff. It was neat to find a brand new dress in my closet : )


I know some of you asked where I found these too. I bought them on Ebay. They were the cheapest I could find. Some prices were $40 and $50 for only the 4. I got them for $20 for all 4. It has been a real lifesaver if I can't get outside and water the hanging baskets daily.

I made this recipe for Easter lunch. I wanted to share.

Cornbread Salad Recipe

1 package of Jiffy cornbread mix

(because it is sweet)

8 slices of crispy bacon

1 tomato

1 bell pepper

1 onion

2 stalks of celery

1 cup of mayo

Prepare the cornbread mix as directed.

Allow cornbread to cool, then crumble in a bowl.

Add chopped tomato, bell pepper, onion, celery, and bacon.

Mix in mayo and chill until ready to serve.

It is so good!!!

Enjoy!! I loved getting your questions and I'm glad I could answer them. So fun!!!

Easter 2010

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I know we did. I tried very hard to get a picture of My Cowboy and I before church. We looked so cute in our pink/black/white outfits but he wouldn't do it....maybe it was because it was 7AM!!!

Here we are after church at mom and dad's

Shelby and I

We had a fabulous meal of BBQ, potato salad, cole slaw and my Cornbread salad. So yummy, I'll have to share the recipe later this week. After lunch, we decided to have a mini photoshoot, HA!!

I never knew taking pictures with a 16 year old girl could be so entertaining.

It started with Shelby and Jacob. They will have prom next month. I can't wait to see her dress she always looks gorgeous.

If only everyone could be like Cole and I. When we see a camera we automatically, SMILE!!!

Then mom wanted a picture of all of us.

Take 1

Until she felt a "snake" on her shoe.....it was actually a stick.

Take 2. Don't know......

Christ the Lord is risen today,

Sons of men and angels say.

Sing ye heavens and earth reply.

Have a Blessed Easter!!

Happy Easter
