Spring Pictures

I can't t beleive today is the last day of April! I mean what?!?! 😲
This coming Saturday is the last day of the Fort School 1st yr class! Ahh!

This weekend we got more drywall texturing done, some more up, and my bedroom floor in! Yay!!
I got to put my bed back together and sleep in it for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks! It was nice. 😊
Now all I need is the trim and to put a "cuff" over the exposed beam on my ceiling, add another to make it look more even then my room is done!

Anyways, I have some pictures of my two newest baby goats that I promised to post and some flower pictures I took some pictures of. 😄

Denny!

Liberty

Hope your April went well!

Spring Has Sprung!

More baby goat pix! :)

Joshie!

Aren't they cute?!? 😊
One of my other goats just had a boy and a girl yesterday as well!
So I will have to get pictures and post them soon as well.

Been super busy this past week!
I doggie/house sitted for my Pastors family, so spending the night, up bright and early to take care of the doggie before heading home to help with morning chores. Then back in the afternoon to take care of the doggie and let them out and hang out with them for a few hours before heading home for dinner, chores then back again for the night.
Last night was the last night as they got back home today. 😊

Been busy in the house as well, got my room painted a very nice shade of blue.
Now to get the new flooring in and a door nob foe my cloest!

Worked on moving and putting up fences the last three days. Thursday and Friday was movable fence panels, so we can move them later if we want to.
Today our friend James came over and helped us put in perminant field fencing along the hillside between our and our neighbors property. Got all 330 feet of it up! Yay!!!
Getting closer to have our property all fenced in so the dogs can't get out!😄

Looks like this weeks weather is going to be in the 70's! I can't wait!
I've got more fence panels to move and put up, so I'm going to be super busy. 😊

Hope you all are enjoying the nice weather and the springtime!!

Baby Goats Are Here!!

Yes, I know. I haven't' posted in a while... But I have been very busy.
No! Honest! last week was so busy I didn't even get time to practice my Banjo! :/
But it's been a good busy...  My bedroom is bigger!! The sheetrock gets put in tomorrow!
So excited!! :D

So on Monday, my goat had 3 baby girls! So precious!
I got some pictures of them today, they are so cute!

Today one of my moms goat a single girl and Kai's goat had 3 boys!
No pictures yet, but I will get some and post those soon. :)



So last time I mentioned that at the next 1st year class I'd be helping the Fur Store Teacher teach surveying on our own without the usual survey teacher.
Well, it went very well I think. :)
We told them a little about surveying history, they learned what their pace was for a 66 ft Gunther chain, and we paced the width and length of the fort and came out with 52.8 and then doing the math that equals 5.28 acres. We got the numbers all right!
We also added compasses to the class, the kids really liked that.
So all in all I think it was our best Fur store class day. :)
 Camp Day next month! They get to learn canvas tent setting up and flint and steel fire starting!

Trixie

On Wednesday, March 20th, our "head of ranch security", best dog ever, Trixie left us.😢
 She was 14 yrs. old in Feb. And we've had her since she was about 8 weeks old.
She practically trained herself, protected our critters, roled coyotes (literally!) and chased them off.
But these last few weeks leading up to her departure we could tell her time to leave us was at hand.
Her legs weren't working properly anymore, she was uncomfortable...
But now she is no longer in pain, and that gives us comfort in her departure even though we still miss her.

Here are some pictures of Trixie over the years. 😊

Trixie the day we went and got her! She chose us. :)

Trixie checking out my snow boots. :)

Trixie and Mini out with Megs

Trixie!

Trixie loved climbing on the rocks in our backyard in Spokane. :)

Tixieenjoying a "bone"

Happy girl!

Just sittin' in a chair with her dog biscuit. :)

Out on the lawn

Trixie and her "Jolly Ball", she loved that thing!

Sweet girl!! My friend Sarah Donaldson (then Silliman) took this one of Trixie. :)

Well, I think that's enough pictures. 😉

Trixie may be gone, but she won't be forgotten. 💖

Window Light

So...yeah... I missed last weeks photo challange...it was children. And well... I didn't see any to photograph that week so therefore no photo. :P

But! I did get a picture for this weeks challange which is Window Light.
So I got one, not sure if it's what the challange ment by window light but thats what I got. ;)

Peanut in the window watching the ducks out in the rain :)

The girls and I went up to the Grist Mill yesterday and took some pictures. It was SO sunny and Beautiful this weekend! And warm!! T-shirt weather! :D

Moss on a rock along the creek

Doesn't the moss look like small ropes?!

Pretty flower down by the creek pathway :)

Spring is almost here!!!
Hope your March is going alright, ours is going well so far.

The fort schools are going well, I'm really enjoying them. :)
For 1st year I'm the assistent in the Fur Store Engage part of the program, so get to help teach about the Fur trade, what the guys did and help teach the basics of surveying!
And I found out this last week that next month the teacher for the surveying is unable to attend so the Fur store teacher and I get to teach that part of the class!
Glad I like that class and was paying enough attention I think we can do it no problem! ;)

Snow!!!!

Yesterday we got 4-5" of snow!!! SOOOOO Excited!!!! :D
Tooks lots of pictures! (of course) So thought I'd share them. :)

And this weeks photo challange theme was red & pink.... well I've decided this is my weekly photo challange photo. :)

 And of course other randomness. 

Frozen Bubbles! They are SO COOL!!!

Ever wonder what happens to a popped frozen bubble? Well here ya go. ;)

Spider web!

LOVIN the snow here! And it started snowing again tonight! :D
Can ya tell I love the snow just a little bit. ;)

Stay warm and safe everyone!

Sweets!

So.... this week's theme for pictures is sweets. Well, I think I got some. :)

Here is my "Sweets" theme of the week picture.

And I had some fun with a cup of Hot Chocolate with whipping cream as well. :)

Thanks Megs for letting me use your cup! :)

We woke up to SNOW on Valentines day!! :D
So of course had to go out and take some snow/ice pictures. :)

For my birthday, which was on Monday, mom and dad gave me some lens adapters for my camera!
My favorite of the adapters is the 10x Macro lens attachment.

Here is what it can do!

And here are some I took on my birthday in the nice sunny chilly weather. :)

Blackberry leaves have "hair"!

Next week's photo theme is "Pink & Red"....so I'll have to think up some fun ideas for that. :)

Weekly Favorite

So.... I kinda didn't do the Joy theme photo challenge.....due to lack of imagination. :/
But! This weeks theme was easy as it is my weekly favorite which means my favorite photo for the week. :)

So here is my favorite photo I took this week:

Dash! Also known as Dash-Man, and Mini-Mac as he looks just like his daddy :)

 And I also took a walk with Kai today and took several fun pictures. :)
We have green things growing now people!!! :D

 Awww. Green things. :)

So this week my "baby" sister turned 17!! She got a camera for her birthday from mom and dad!
Which means..... she won't need to borrow mine anymore!! Yes, I know... it sounds selfish of me... :/
But I'm so happy for her, she can take pictures when I'm out taking pictures and not have to wait to use mine. :)

We have our 2nd day of 2nd-year school at the Fort tomorrow!
Last month was great fun and tomorrow I'm teaching scrimshaw. :)
1st year is going well and so far it looks like we have a bunch of good kids.


Next weeks photo theme is..... sweets! Yes! Easy! Kai! I need you to bake something for me to shoot! ;)
Ok... that sounds bad. ;P
