New Address

Hi all,

Where to start..........

B and I are getting a new address. Are we moving? Nope. It seems the people in our county in charge of issuing addresses have discovered they have issued several that are not correct. So, once they determine what our address really is, I get to start notifying everyone of our address change. Fun, fun, fun. At least we're not in this boat by ourselves - we have around 100 others with us so far.

Here's a pic of Desa & Piper. Piper has the most awesome 'cuddle' personality. Her and Desa are finally starting to play and get along but her and Jerry are still at the hiss/growl stage. Overall, I'm very thankful that Bryanne thought to give us Piper.

Speaking of Bryanne. She wanted a mermaid for her birthday. I had a idea of what I wanted to make her and it involved transfering some pics onto Polymer Clay. All the tutorials I found on the internet said how easy it was. NOT!!!!!! I have tried th process more than a dozen times and ways and still have not accomplished it. See the pic of the pictures and clay. The pictures are supposed to STICK to the clay. I'm gonna give this technique up for a while and do something else.

How many people can say they hay their yard? Well, for those of you that don't know, our house is surrounded on three sides by prairie hay. Once a year the neighbor comes over and hays it. It still seems a little weird to look out the back door and see big round bales of hay. Most of the time the neighbor keeps the hay or sells it but this year we donated 6 big bales to a horse rescue farm starting up in our area.

B and I had recently went to the rescue ranch and some of the horses I saw just broke my heart. I will never understand how people can be so cruel or neglectful of any animal. If those owners had to suffer the same fate as those animals I'm sure things would be a lot different.

One of the pics today is Holly (our dog) in the bucket of B's tractor. I couldn't resist taking the photo when I saw her resting there. Pretty cute - don't ya think?

B and I are getting ready for our Colorado trip. We are taking the Trike and a trailer. We'll go to my friend, Nettie's house, to see my nephew, Mitch and to B's nephews wedding and then to Durango and Mesa Verde. We haven't been to Mesa Verde before and I've wanted to see it for the longest time so I'm pretty excited about the trip. We're taking two pieces of Stained Glass (photo's here) with us. One for the wedding and the other for a friend. Hopefully neither will see their gift on this before we get there with them.

I've been trying to do some Polymer stuff but haven't got much accomplished this summer. Too busy with the flower beds and the vegetable garden. Also, I've been working on a new strawberry bed. Next to the propane tank - which needs re-painted. Another chore!

I have downloaded about 200 pictures on my Flickr site. I'll put a link from my blog to it as soon as I figure out how to do it.

For now, I'll just download the new pictures I want to post and sign off. Till next time................... Donna
