sweet saturday

Perhaps this picture is just really, really random. But one of my favorite times of the day is right before a meal, when the table is set, people are milling around the kitchen asking when we can finally eat, and all the busyness stops as we sit down together. Now I've gone and made myself cry.

Domino says hi to all of the people he knows will look at this picture. :)

It would be awesome if we could have fresh flowers in the house all year round. They make me happy.


Speaking of flowers, what do y'all think about the new header? Dislike; like? I can take constructive criticism...really!

Dresses, dresses

I'm not the creative one. My sister has made many pieces of clothing with no patterns, and figured things out that would have completely confused me. Yesterday she whipped out a dress, added a belt, and had a really cute outfit.

Guys, you may want to stop reading now. This is a girly post. :)

Needless to say, yesterday a photo-shoot was in order. The sun was out and there was an awesome breeze. We had a lot of fun - that is, until I fell in walked across the creek and got water in my dress shoes.

This is the one she made yesterday...

And this is one she made a while ago.

 

He ran out and joined us. (FYI, I die daily from his cuteness.)

To see more of her work visit her blog, Simple Stitches and Life on a Farm.

I've been a terrible blogger,

but I'm here to make it up to you!

Ok, so a few weeks ago, we processed chickens. Most people think that it's very gross. And while it is a little on the unclean side, it's not nearly as bad as you would think. Plus, it's FUN! Yes, de-gutting chickens ( I don't do that job) and getting blood and feathers all over you can be enjoyable! When you do it with good friends, and laugh the whole time, it's not bad at all.

*edit* go HERE to find more great pictures of our chicken processing!

Daniel, cleaning up for breakfast.

Before they know their terrible fate...^

And, um, after. ^

The eviscerating table. In the background is the killer. The one who did the dirtiest, cruelest job. *tear.* It was so harsh, so undeserved.

But then again, they do taste amazing...

The packing and weighing table!^
DON AWESOME! Good to see you again. You were missed. Daniel may think otherwise. Not sure, though. ;)


For those who woke up at 5 o'clock to come help, thank you! And for those who sat and watched (and gave us emotional support) thank you, too.

Y'all are the best!!

"HI!!"

Is it just me, or does it look like he's smiling?
