Oh By the Way

It was brought to my attention that our newest members of the farm are not on the blog.

Oh by the way, we have quail.

updated pictures to come later.

Congrats to the Arlington Family

The Arlington family has increased by 8!

Oreo the Momma Hen was eager to become a momma. She was unsuccessful hatching out her own eggs, but never wanted to give up. Eggs from another hen were placed under her and she hatched out 8 beautiful redheads. Mom and babies are doing just fine!

The Ferocity of a Mother's Love

Look at the dog's face.... He has to be thinking: What just happened? Did I just get my a** kicked by a squirrel"

Welcome to the Country you City Girl

Dear Mom & Dad,

I'm doing great out here at Aunt Car and Uncle Mike's. I'm meeting new friends, and playing a lot. At first I was a bit nervous but I'm having fun, it's better than camp! There's so much room to run around and the frisbee goes a long way. I had Aunt Car take pictures for you:

Here's me with real live chickens! I had only seen chickens on TV counting to the number 4! (Coming back from the shore)

Look mom, I'm really far.

They don't have water like at home, their water comes from a well and it's really cold.

This is Nadean, she kept trying to head-butt me, and Aunt Car would yell at her.

After Aunt Car would yell at her, her hair on her back would stick up like a mohawk. It was funny.

Before I went back inside, I went to go say hi to Daisy.

As you can see, I'm having fun. I miss you both and I love you. Tell Devyn and Coral I said hello.

Love,

Roxy Johnson

Memorial Day Weekend 2009

What a busy Memorial Day Weekend we had. We headed up to the kinfolks at http://www.weepingwillowfarm.blogspot.com/ for many different reasons.

1. Someone was getting married

2. My cousin (HEY GIRL) had surgery and Big Carms Farm was taking her

"Get Well Quail" (because Hallmark just doesn't say enough)

3. The kids wanted to play hide-n-seek

4. Had to get involve in some mouse-bopping. (don't ask, injuries were sustained)

Overall Memorial Day Weekend 2009 was a success and as always had a wonderful time at the Weeping Willow Farm. Thanks Cuz, for the many laughs - You Too!

When Pet Owners Officially Lose Their Minds -part 3

For those of you that follow my blog, you know how I tease my fellow pet owners about dressing up their pets. I call this group of pet lovers "the pet owners that have officially lost their minds" and I love you all for this because you add excitement to my blog.

I have reson to believe that the current chart topper of Iowa (you know who you are), has been knocked down a peg. I received a photo last night, which I give kudos to this source for sending to me, of a dog that on a normal day would be black and white. Yesterday wasn't a normal day for this dog - it's now pink and black. YES you read correctly.

Congrats to the new pet owner that has officially lost their mind!!!!!!

**no animals were harmed in this bizarre act

That's a Huge Bunny Rabbit

Bunny has gotten so big that she now has "a little too much fullness on the sides". Watch out Rabbit, this could happen to you. I take it as a sign of happiness!
