Merry Christmas!!

 Sorry I'm back posting my Christmas post because I've been too busy to get it up.  :D

Flowers on Christmas!

Want to know what my favorite thing was about Christmas??  The temperature!!!


So lovely.  It actually got into the seventies.  It was awesome!!!  We went out of state, further south to my in-law's for Christmas.  It was a fun visit.  While it was cold and rainy back home we were enjoying gorgeous weather down south. :D  There isn't much else to say, so I'll just share some pictures I took.

My brother-in-law's gorgeous Catahoula, Buckshot.

 His old female Granny.  I think she is eleven now.
She doesn't like cameras which is the reason for the look on her face.

 Their garden is still growing strong, even with two frosts (only two before Christmas!!).

 I tried to convince my hubby we need a little dog after he spent quality time with his niece's dog Taz.

Then we went to a huge Christmas lights display.  These pictures don't do it justice.  It was huge!

 The string of blue lights went around the entire lake!

At their house I went for a walk in the woods with hubby, brother-in-law and Buckshot.  I enjoyed seeing what different foliage grows there.

 Very strange mushrooms were found.

We were also looking for and gathering different species of nuts and acorns to bring home to Jack.  I reached down to grab this one....

A snail!! Isn't he cool!

Luckily I realized what it was before I grabbed it lol.  Pretty cool find on Christmas!  :D

Well that's all for my belated Christmas post.  I didn't get very many pictures because I was too busy enjoying the company.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Jackal Puppy Pictures

Does anyone remember how freaking adorable Jackal was as a puppy???  Soaked from playing in his pool.  He loved Frisbee!  OMG soaked Jackal puppy straight out of the bath!!  He LOVED his pool!  He loves going fishing with us.  Adorable just isn't a strong enough word!!  Those ears!  Sleeping on hubby's chest.  Catching toads out of the pool the ducks made nasty lol.  Spoiled rotten!  Sitting by the wood stove to stay warm.  Seriously spoiled!!    If I was on the couch he was piled up on, next to or behind me (like above).    Rotten and he knows it.  Just because I can't get enough below are some of my favorite pictures of Jackal over the years.  I was cleaning my horse tack and he wouldn't move... so cute!  That was a fun walk down memory lane.  I need to get some current pictures of him.  I've been so bad about not taking pictures lately...

Garden Update

 Our first pumpkin from the garden!!! It is 24.6 pounds!  It is a Yellow of Paris pumpkin so it's not supposed to be orange.  Isn't it awesome?? The garden has done so well.  I'm so pleased with it.  I've lost count of everything, but we've gotten at least 38 acorn squash, 12 butternut squash, around 20 spaghetti squash, a bunch of yellow squash, cucumbers and zucchini,  as well as miscellaneous other squash.  We've gotten a tomato, a bunch of okra, two watermelons and four eggplants.  That's only the beginning.  There will be a lot more to come. Check out these pictures. See the acorn squash that was eaten on?  That's from Scuff, our resident box turtle.... Luckily he decided he's not really a fan of them because he hasn't eaten any others, but he LOVES cucumbers.  Did I ever tell you guys the story about Scuff and how he got his name?  I got in my car back in April to head to work.  As I was backing out of my parking spo...

Day 2 With Amethyst

To my surprise Coral didn't get up when we went in. Coral and Amethyst are doing great! I'm still going to do a post to show a video of her labor and birth, but I'm having to figure out how to convert some files, so it will have to wait.  I'll just share pictures and video from today with Amethyst.  Your baby is not a pillow hehe. Coral is still tired, but they are both doing great.  I LOVE watching Amethyst play and explore.  I forgot how much fun goat kids are.  I LOVE her racing stripes on her ears. We gave them the first day alone together to bond, but today it was time to start socializing Amethyst so she doesn't end up feral like her mom.  Coral doesn't like it, humans still stress her out, but she didn't fight us.  She just watched closely and talked under her breath to her baby.  Hubby giving Amethyst a cuddle.   Ammy doesn't like being held, but she quickly gives up struggling.  She will get used to it.  I couldn't tell rig...
