I was given free access to a two week online food photography class and I just turned in the last assignment. I am not very pleased with my results but I was rushed for time becuase of this being a very busy weekend. Anyway we had to take a low key ...
I took my iPad out with me this morning when I went to feed the animals. They were all very cooperative with my picture taking, with the exception of mini donkey Diana. Imagine that. :-) I am pretty sure I heard her say "Get that thing outta' my ...
He's gonna' dig!
We had five yards of raised bed potting mix delivered for our new garden boxes.
We managed to keep Tucker out of it for a couple of days. But he wanted it.
He wanted it bad.
On the second ...
We aren't sure if Tucker has been swimming before he came to live with us but he is afraid of the water a bit. He gets a little nervous before a bath but settles in once he's in the tub and seems to enjoy it. He especially likes getting the shampoo ...
Please bear with me as I tweak my website. I love the Wordpress theme I am using now but, as always, I want to make it my own. You might notice I replaced the beige background with a chicken wire image. I was missing my chicken wire.
I spent ...
This morning I took advantage of a little break in the heat wave to take a nature walk around the property with my camera. I had to make one stop before my walk, to put fly masks on the donkeys. I had hoped to put the masks on, give them a carrot and ...
It is a bit out of control. I have a yard full of chickens and a house full too. I promised Michael I was done decorating with chickens but a trip to World Market got the better of me. I found this cute reproduction egg sign and I had to have ...
I spent a lot of time cooking and photographing food this weekend. I learned that French fries need to be photographed almost immediately as they come out of the fryer. If not, they start to wilt and look unappetizing. I managed to get a couple of ...
Emus love to get wet and muddy. We used to hose them off several times on a hot day. They even like to swim. At the last property we owned they had a pond to cool off in. Honestly, they love a good wallow in a mud puddle even more than a swim. Here ...
When Michael takes Tucker for a walk, he lets him off the leash at the bottom of the driveway and he gets to run home. It is his favorite part of the day.
...
We had a glorious morning here at the Buck 'n Run. Michael mowed the grass yesterday, the sun was shining, it was 65 degrees. It was a perfect morning. I took my camera with me hoping to get some pictures of the baby chicks that hatched under my ...
I have set this post to go live on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 8:03 a.m., exactly forty years after the horror of the Vietnam war came into my home. On that morning forty years ago, I was a homemaker, wife and mother of Mark, 5 and Andrea, 2.
We ...
Tucker got to ride on the Polaris with Michael this morning. This afternoon he got to go for a car ride and hike down to the Bear River. On the way home, he got to get a burger at the In-N-Out drive thru. Yep. It was a good day to be a little ...
Michael took Tucker for an ATV ride on the gravel driveway behind the house. I was watching them and the Polaris stopped behind the Feed Shed and I couldn't tell why they had stopped. After a minute or so Michael came around the corner to the house. ...
Tucker loves riding in cars, on my scooter and in the Polaris. That boy will ride anything. We have to sneak out of the house if we can't take him with us. I am a softy so if I can't take him with me, I take him for a ride around the block when I get ...
