Happy Halloween!

Well were you able to guess our costume from my hints?  If not...your wait is over.  Presenting (drum roll please) the 2011 Mark and Tree Halloween costume.

Not sure who we are?  Watch this.

Our video to follow!

Halloween is Monday. So guess what?

No really...guess.  Okay, I'll give you a hint.  I'll actually give you two hints.  Here's your first hint.

Not enough?  Okay.  How about this hint?

Aren't you excited?!  Stay tuned!!!!!

Is it just me?

Or does that fallen tree branch look a little bit like a deer hopping through my yard?  Ok.  That's what I thought.  Thanks for confirming.

Bag o' Billy

What can I say?  Billy loves his bags.

Buzzards

If I didn't think they were so cool and doing such a very needed job (I mean really, they consume dead things), I'd be totally creeped out.

Who needs NASCAR?

As you may know, Cheyenne (Cheech) is part Draft horse.  Belgian to be exact.  Buddy totally understands "drafting".  Get it?  Draft?  hee hee

BTW...this is Mark's funny.  He's so clever.  I have to give him the credit.  Thanks Markie Mark!

Stop the car!

That's what my brain was yelling at me.  So I did what any girl would do.  I stopped the car!  And I took a picture of this amazing sky.  Holy cr@p!  

He's so shy...and easily embarrassed

Diesel...you're so cute!

Oh gosh...did I embarrass you?  Sorry.  Really...I'm sorry.

Welcoming commitee

Leroy is SO good at welcoming me home.  Of course I think it helps that I am the one that feeds him dinner.

A comforting sight

There isn't anything quite as comforting to me as when I look down onto our house and see the smoke from our wood stove bellowing from the smoke stack.  Makes me ache.  (In a good way)

Buddy in his blanket

Ain't he cute?

Awwwww...shucks...he's so modest.

Billy's new box

Me:  Hey Billy.
Billy: Huh?

Me:  You like your new box?
Billy:  YEAH!!!

Planting my Christmas gift

I participated in a Secret Santa exchange this past Christmas.  I love these.  Buying presents for someone knowing they don't know who you are...and waiting for the mailman to deliver your gifts.  The box was packed full.  Candy, hat and BULBS!  Tons and tons of BULBS!  I love flowers...and I really love daffy's.  So my wonderful Secret Santa (Christine from CA) indulged me.

I planted them this weekend.  I can't wait until Spring!

Okay guys...rest up...I'll see you in a few months. (and I'll be sure to get pictures!)

7 years old

A recent event in my life had me searching for this photo.  Boy was I happy when I found it.  It clearly marks a special time in my life.  It was my 7th birthday and my father (my biological father) had rented this pony for me and my cousin.  It had to have been the best gift a 7 year old horse crazy little girl could have ever wanted.  (a special thanks to Deb for retouching this for me)

Pink Skies at Night

So gorgeous.
