our back yard right now




So much to sit back and watch in our back yard





We have our own petting zoo. Our Kitty Mister has gone missing, I think there is a strong possibility someone grabbed him. He is extra fluffy, with extra monkey toes, and extra friendly no matter who you are. If he went rubbing up on some person passing buy, they could easily have taken him. He has no collar, but is micro chipped, so we will see if we get a call some day. That is also a nicer thought then the alternative.




His buddy still hangs out in our back yard though. Our neighbor kitty that spends all day, every day watching the show that is our back yard. Kids, animals, shady trees, and unruly grass, he loves our back yard. See him up there? Looking at... yes our goats. We are growing fruits and veggies, hens for eggs, why not just dive in? I may have lost my mind, but goats make milk, we can have goats here. Hey why not.




They are totally like dogs, only they eat our trees. They greet you when you get home by waging their tails and climbing in your lap. They are super sweet, even just standing there while Kaitlyn tells me "eye! eye!" poke!

THIS came from a tiny little seed we put in the ground. That is so crazy. And is growing so fast. Hopefully we will get a flower soon. Little chickens in the shadeThat is my hand, HUGE leafs.
