Happy Halloween!

2,11,9,12,8

These are the numbers that were chosen by our random generator friend. We were so happy to see so many nice comments from old blogging buddies, as well as new face we hope to see often!

Now that means that there are five special bloggers who will have a chance for the our buglet giveaway at 5:55 pm tonight!

Angus has been feeling a little itchy and under the weather the past few days so he may not be able to go trick or treating with our Becky BlueBonnet. He will however be peeking out from under the covers to choose our winner later tonight!

Until then Happy Trick or Treating!!

Before ANOTHER Day Goes By....

...it's time to check in with our fellow bloggers...wherever they are.....

We are more than amiss.........we are awful......complacent, lethargic, and much too embarassed to explain our abscence.....but we are back.....we have a project we are working on...
have been actually for several months............a BIG project, which only a handful of people knew about....didn't want to jinx things any more in our lives......we have however taken some time to R-E-L-A-X and take in all the beauty that surrounds us.......in all shapes and sizes...
in trees....or on the ground...

....they all are something to marvel at...

Now we know that a few wonderful things have happened recently, the most important being the arrival of five little buglets at Rocky Creek Farms!

Which gives us reason to celebrate..and so we will be having another

"G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y"

Now we want to make this a little more interseting so we are going to scramble things up a bit. We are going to draw five names...after we have our five names we will be posting them on Halloween( but not necessarily in the order they were picked.)

After we post the five names on Halloween, we will choose the winner from that five at 5:55 p.m.....right about the time that the candy runs out ;o)Feeling a little dizzy yet..it gets better.......for every comment you post either here or on the Rocky Creek Farms Blog you have an additional chance to win......up to five posts of course.........hmmm..I think I see a theme here...

Now I think that we need to give you FIVE HINTS about the prize we are giving away; it will be:

1)cute
2)soft
3)colorful
4)flat
5)SCOTTIE

OK now comment often here or there......check back often, and don't forget to tell us how you and your peeps are going to celebrate Halloween this weekend!!!!!

After The Storm...the calm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and we now know for certain, there really and truly is NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
Thank you all for your prayers during the storm....and thank you to Burger King for internet service...you really are KING!

Wordless Wednesday

 

Our New Journey

"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord,

 

 

 

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

 

 

 

plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

 

Welcome to our new journey.............

 

Did Somebody Say ICE CREAM?????????

Busy, Busy, Busy............

...that's what we have been for weeks....busy as bees..taking care of those little fledglings paid off.....Momma bird one day came calling and decided it was time for them to hit the road...and away they went! They have been back with Momma full time (who looks a wee bit tired now that she is feeding them without the help of moi.....but they know they are welcome here all the time!)

July is the Birthday month in our clan, and we have several weeks where they come one after the other...so party time it is.
The most special one was for Mom, who at 94 is looking just as bright eyed and bushy tailed as Becky!

We have also been spotting many of our regular Summer visitors, as well as a few new ones..


It has been a record summer harvest for our blackberries! We have already been making blackberry muffins, blackberry frosting, blackberry sauce for BBQing.
One of the best recipes we found combined both lemon thyme and blackberries for a simply scrumptious treat. We are hoping to post some pix of our next creation...that's if we can ever get back into the kitchen again with this heat wave!! When we do we will be tackling this recipe: Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes with Blackberry Frosting.

We are also very happy to report that Angus is responding very well to his thyroid medication...he is however going through his annual allergy bout, and is feeling just a little cranky ( like all allergy sufferers are no doubt!)It never ceases to amaze us though, how much bringing Becky into his ( and our) life has turned him into a puppy again..he really keeps Becky on her toes and vice versa!
Keep cool everyone.....drink a lots of fluids, stay indoors and take it slow!!!
