Her 4th of July scarf.

Two weeks ago on Wednesday when I was leaving for work I pulled out of our driveway and saw something little run down the side of the road. At first I couldn't tell what it was then I realized it was a little dog. When I got to her I stopped and got out of the car, she ran harder down the road. I followed her and she stopped and I got out again and called her. She took off again and turned onto a logging road and went out of sight. I called my husband and he went on the four wheeler and looked for her but didn't see her. It was 105 degrees that day and we knew with no food and especially no water she would die. That night Richard rode down that road again and he called me and said he had found her and for me to bring some food and water. My husband is such a softie, when I got there he was down on his knees talking to her and trying to coax her out of the woods. He put the food back under the bushes and in doing so got tangled up in wild rose briar's and tore his shirt. She just whined for a while but she did eat her food, I figured it would take her a few days before we could catch her but we were worried about something getting her. All of a sudden she came out and came to me and started licking me and jumping around and whining. I guess she knew we were trying to help her. Well, now she has a home and is living quite well. She has a new bed, she is the air conditioning and we are working on potty training and she has a new friend and that is Jake. For the life of me I will never ever understand how some people can be so cruel to dump a little defenseless dog or cat out where they will have no food or water to just die a horrible death. As dry as it is there isn't even any puddles to drink from. I would so like to be a judge and be able to hand out the sentences to these scum of the earth people. They would get the same treatment as they deal out!!!

The Girls told me to tell all you bloggers out there to have a great weekend.

I found the patriotic sheep at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago.

My sister made this for me a couple of years ago.

I am still looking for chairs for this table.

Tomorrow we will be celebrating Independence Day and here is a little of my decorating for the occasion. We will be having homemade ice cream and cake with the family, it's way too hot here to do much. We are praying for rain, our fields are looking pretty sad. We rescued a new little dog last Wednesday, someone uncaring soul dumped her out to die in this heat and dry weather. I will blog later about her but don't worry she has made herself at home here.

It's a boy, wait a minute, and a girl. TWINS!!!

My first sighting of the twins

Just a few hours old

The boy twin

The boy is up, little girl still too tired.

Big O and her babies. This is exciting!!

Baby Girl

Good night.

Richard gave Big O some feed and was checking the babies

Stuck in the mud the next day

Sunset setting on Big O AKA Your Bigness

She keeps losing one of them, the sheep are helping

Beautiful face

Got Milk!!!

Big O, AKA "Your Bigness" gave birth to twins last night. We did not have a clue she was having twins, she always looks like a barrel when she is pregnant. When we checked cows last night we said within the week probably we would have a baby but we were pleasantly surprised this morning. I was getting ready to go to work when Richard called and said we had twins so I called my work and said I would be a little late. I had to take pictures right? It's a bull and a heifer. Last night I took a picture of Big O and Baby O standing together. I wonder if she was telling Baby O she was about to have a new sister and brother? I bet she was. This sure has been an exciting morning!

Adorable New baby

The new baby just born today

We both went to the ground after this picture

The second day he gets an ear tag

Isn't he pretty or maybe I should say handsome

Hiding

A new baby was born last week and he is adorable. His Mom was a very young heifer that should not have come into heat as soon as she did but she did fine. Last Thursday morning she was off by herself which is one of the signs a baby is getting ready to be born so Richard put her in the barn where he could watch her close. A couple of hours later she gave birth and her and the baby were fine. He isn't very big but he is doing great. Saturday I spent an hour looking for him because he wasn't with her. I rode the four wheeler around and around through the cross fenced fields each time getting off and stepping on the wire and sending the four wheeler through by hand and getting back on and guess what? I finally found him in the second field I had rode thru and hadn't seen him. You can almost run over them if your not careful. I got him up and he bawled for his Mom and she looked up there and then went back to eating not too concerned and then of course he went the other way and laid down again. He may not be too big but neither am I and I had already wrestled him around in the barn lot Well, anyway about an hour later she went to him and everything was fine. We probably worry too much and we are too over protective. The next night Richard put him on the four wheeler and took him to her from another field. They lay down and sleep for hours. Being cute makes a baby awfully tired!

I love summer time, all the yard sales and swap meets and I just have to go to them you know. I had an auction last October and got rid of a ton of stuff because our plan is to move to our big farm next year. More about that later. Anyway I am trying not to replace all the stuff I sold but it's just hard when you see all these bargains, right?? Here are a few things I have picked up in the last couple of weeks.
