A Smidge of Country Charm

Oh my goodness. There is just something about these two pictures that warms my heart. I may have been born a hundred years too late to actually live this exact life— but my sweet little house is taking on its own country charm one small step at a time. That’s close enough for me.

Our Little Chicken Chick

Soooo what does one get for the chicken loving girl’s birthday? Well, you get a chicken leash and a fashionable chicken hat…

a chicken purse to carry your chicken in…

of course!!

We love you Hazel!!

Tomato Cucumber Salad

 

Need a simple snack? Peeled and seeded cucumbers with chopped Roma tomatoes.

With or without a little Creamy Italian— it’s positively heaven! I tried to be rational but I’m pretty sure I went back for more.

Can’t wait till that is fresh from my garden. If I grow nothing else…those would be my staples. Yum!

Sleeping With the Enemy

Soooo this is a first.

Normally, Lyla steers way clear of Hobbes because he’s always jumping on her and knocking her over–you know–all the tough guy stuff. He’s too much of a wild boy for her prissy nature and…well, she’s just plain scared of him.

So to look over and see the two of them in the same corner of the universe–never mind the same bed– was beyond belief.  I can’t even tell you.
Will wonders never cease?

Apparently not.

One thing I did notice though–only one of these kitties is actually sleeping. Lyla’s no dummy and she’s not taking her eyes off this dude.
Love at home, indeed…

with one eye open. Ha.

Miss Hazel’s Birthday

Such a lovely thing–a birthday. Honestly, I love coming to anyone’s birthday because we always have fun just the same. We just love being together. There’s always great food, lovely conversation, throwing footballs, opening presents, eating cake and sooo much laughter.

See for yourself.
