Friday Finds

First of all as the leaves start changing and the weather gets chilly and Autumn is in full swing I imagine I will be getting a lot more inspiration and take more photos which means that I will be posting more often :) Lately every time I have sat down to write a post I have really enjoyed just writing (and I think it is awesome to see how fast I can type) so maybe some posts of me typing nonsense?

And I could just post a ton of pictures of autumn that I found on Pinterest but that be a little silly... Instead you should just go to my Pinterest page so you can ooh and ahh over all the pretty colors.

I'm stuck between thinking that this is the best prom picture ever and being the worst prom picture ever. Votes?

This rooster. Absolutely perfect and gorgeous. I would bet that he is probably about 9 pounds which is...really big.

I will have you all know that it is an absolute dream for me to live in a very old house like this surrounded by all these gorgeous colorful trees in the middle of nowhere. Just imagine how perfect that would be.

This is my kind of bedroom. I already have lights above my bed and now all I need is some of this pretty gauzy stuff.

This is also an absolute adorable room, of course whenever I got out of bed I will most likely headbutt the slanted ceiling but that is so not the point. I imagine this room in the very top of my old Victorian house.

Sigh...why is Pinterest so amazing? When someone asks me if they should make an account I say yes because it is so amazing but I think you literally have to set a timer for yourself so you don't end up spending your whole day on there.

See you all soon, maybe.

My Chickens

These pictures aren't anything special but I wanted you all to see how much my babies have grown and how they are all totally awesome. You can see them here as tiny little babies and here as awkward teenagers.

34 chickens. 3 of them range from 3-6 years old and the rest are all my amazing batch of babes that hatched (on two different farms)in April. If I do say so myself, this batch of chicks is the best batch of chicks that I have ever had. And the biggest variety. Ameraucana, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red, breeds that I have no idea what they are ect.

I mean just look at them! This picture only has 21 of them in it but it gives you the general idea of the range of colors I have.

The buffs have such fluffy butts. And no, that isn't weird.

In the post where they were all awkward teenagers I said this guy (Petey) would probably never grow out of his awkward stage and would always be weird looking but look at him, he is smokin'.

I am so glad that they are finally almost full grown! I prefer full grown chickens rather then little chicks so this is the best time.

Early Morning Fog

Hello! I have enough pictures for a few posts so I would expect a post every other day, I'm not going to push it and say everyday because that isn't going to happen...

Some chicory flowers. I have yet to actually get pictures of them open maybe later today. I love the detail in this shot.

Queen anne's lace...I know a lot of people really don't like this 'weed' but I love it. I always pick a ton of them, put them in a vase and then they go into my room. Love them!

Isn't this a mysterious picture? The fog was so thick it was unbelievable. I have more pictures on the camera that wouldn't upload (grr) but those will be in another post...

I am glad that I am finally easing back into blogging. Stay tuned for more :)

Fair 2013 Recap

Let me start off by saying that I have really really missed blogging! I have had the time to sit down and write a post everyday but never did and while I wish I had written a few I'm okay with the fact that I took a really long break. And I am back and hopefully I will go out, take a ton of pictures and have lots to share (:

There is so much that I want to do...I really want to finish fixing up the kitchen, the bathroom has been half done for a year and I really want to those two things, I especially can't wait to pick out the paint colors :P But I also really want to clean everything up outside, one of these days! I totally believe that a lot of people have time to do the things that they want but instead they go 'Oh I don't have the time for that!' when really all they have to do is go outside (or wherever) and do it! Which is what I should be doing.

I want Autumn to be here. Which is the first time ever, usually I just want Summer to last forever but no, this this I just want all of the pretty colors here. And while searching Autumn on Pinterest makes me go all starry-eyed then I get sad 'cause it's only on my computer screen, not outside.

Now that I have written this much I realize how good it feels to just be typing and being the only person awake in a (mostly) quiet house. It should be like this every ~~day~~ Saturday!

Now onto my county fair picture recap :)

P.S. This post will only have my 4x6's. The next post will have all my enlargements.
