60 Days Til Spring!!!!
Howdy Friends,
I hope yall are doing well this Beautiful Sunday Afternoon!
Im doing well- Allergies are getting to me due to the Weather Change here in Oklahoma.
However, I have been tryin to keep busy and prepare for the Spring in the Greenhouse.
I am so looking forward to Spring / Summer!!
60 Days until Spring
Yes, im counting down! :)
Then Feb 2nd is Groundhog Day~ I hope the groundhog does not see its shadow!
I do have a few mums, little trees and some seedlings growing in the greenhouse..
I have also started to try to grow Avocado plants out of Avocado seeds..
All you have to do in get a seed from an Avocado and poke a couple of holes in it- on the sides w/toothpicks and place in a mason jar or clear cup with water...barely touching the water and
once it has a few leaves and some growth you can then move to a pot w/soil...
I hope you have better luck then I have....
Here are some Gardening/Outdoor Décor. Books I have been reading lately to prepare for this year.
1. Better Homes and Gardens - Inside Out - It has tons of ideas for making the outside just as beautiful as the inside of a home.
2. Garden Anywhere by : Fowler - a Wonderful Book I Love! It also tell you how to grow an Avocado plant and how to compost and etc.. I recommend you Read this one for sure!
3. Native American Gardening by: Wilson - Is a Great Read because it tells you how gardening was done back before we came along. Plus I Love History & Gardening .
Happy Gardening & Reading Yall!

I Love Country Life
Hello again,
I have always had a Love for the Country Life!
I believe it came from my Grandpa and Dad! When I was a little girl in Texas my Grandpa had a nice spread of land that I Loved and still remember to this day!
He had a big orchard of fig trees and etc... and a pond , pigs, chickens, goats, turkeys and more...
but it was not in our town or Corpus Christi, Texas but in a another town ...so we did not get to go very often...
My Dad always wanted to move us to Tulsa Oklahoma Country but my Mom is city thru and thru soo that never worked out....
I did however have friends in Tulsa that had a nice piece of land and they would invite me to come out and stay....
We would ride horses , shoot frogs from the pond for frog legs....ate my first frog legs and learned to shear sheep! Rode horses -fell and got back up and on again!
It was AWESOME! Some of the best memories of my Life!
Anyways, that is a little history of why I have grown to have such a Love for the Country Life and Why I fell in Love with my Hubby and his Land! ;)
lol- it was a plus not going to lie....plus the tight wranglers never hurt , right?! ;)
Well here are tons of pics I took last week of a lot of country here at home and around OKLAHOMA!
here is one of our Turkeys all grown-up!
I Love Clouds and Horses!
Love the View from this Local Oklahoma Ranch house!
The Great Will Rogers Home in Oklahoma while he was growing-up!
Very Peaceful location with just me and that Longhorn.
More Horse Love
One more of the house! Love it!
I Love OKLAHOMA!
I know that Oklahoma is "slower" than Texas but I Love it nice and slow !
Now that I am a Small Town girl I have really learned what slow country life is like!
lol- Enjoy the Country life around you and snap a pic or 2!
Life can be beautiful - if you try, you can see it!
BTW- I still Love Texas 2!!! :)
I miss it and cannot wait to travel out there again to visit Family and Good Food! :)
Hope yall have a Great Day and take some time to enjoy the Country View!
lol- I know I watch "THE VIEW" SOMETIMES 2!! :)

Good Morning Coyote!
Good Morning Peeps!
I hope everyone is doing well! I know its been a while since I was on here typing away.....sorry life has been sooo busy.....Today however.....
You Ever wake up with a coyote by your back door trying to break into one of your chicken houses?!
Well today was the day for that! I awoke between 6:30 - 7:00 am to the sound of constant barking!
yip yip yip pause.....yip yip yip........annoying in the early morn for sure!!!!
Now my "ranch dog" barks and etc....but she is still what I consider a puppy compared to a coyote .
Her name is peanut and then our other dog Jack is old and done with barking at coyotes and etc...
Anyways....
So this Coyote just keep circling the chicken house round and round
as I am walking out of the house with the gun.
No I don't walk out side with a Gun all the time....but when its that early and the barking wont stop....
you might as well grab the gun just in case.......
Well I walk out see what is going on and get ready to shoot.....now I am a really not the best shot when I have been rudely woken up ....plus I really did not want to pop one of my chickens instead of the coyote......
One Shot right away, I did not even close the door behind me.......missed......another shot....
Gun was jammed!!! Ugh well atleast I "scared" the coyote of for now.....
Maybe better luck next time.....but I think next time I will be a bit more prepared! ;)
Just a bit of real Oklahoma Country Life for ya there....
Happy Tuesday! Hope Yall have a Great Day!!! :)
