Thanks for my Award!

I would like to throw out a big "Thank You" to Suzanne at http://windowontheprairie.com .She presented me with this award a few days ago and I really appreciate it. Suzanne has great blog, anything from gardening, animals and her picks on places to eat. Stop in and check her out, I have learned the story behind the story just by visiting her sight.

As I have learned there are a few rules I must follow as a recipient of this award. I must Thank the person who gave it me(done). Share something about myself (coming up) and pass it on and let them know. (that will be at the end)

If you are just tuning in I will give you a little run down to bring you up to date.I am a single mom,raising 2 girls and running a 200 acre farm. I do most of the work here on the farm with the help of my dad who is 83. Currently I have 28 head of Hereford cattle counting the calves, 1 horse, 3 cats, 40 chickens, 1 goat,1 rabbit, 2 sheep and 9 dogs. My days consist of gardening,mowing, weedeating, cleaning barns, feeding animals, fixing fence and working on primitive pieces of furniture that I make from treasures that I find when I am out and about. That's just on a normal day, but there always seems to be something unexpected that shows up. I also help my friends who own a local greenhouse and primitive shop.

I have been a waitress, dog groomer, t-shirt maker, secretary, worked in retail, office manager and I use to get dressed up everyday and pulled a 9-5 job in a local bank managing CD's & IRA's. I consider myself to be a  Jack of all trades, Master of none. I enjoy learning new things and have not let decided what I want to be when I grow up.LOL As I am sitting here typing this I am looking out the window, overlooking the whole farm listening to the birds and watching the cows graze on pasture. Who could ask for any thing more. Now I must get off my butt, and get get back to work.

But before I do I would like to pass this award onto,

http://schoonoverfarm.wordpress.com Donna always has something going on with goats, llamas and rabbits, sheep and a few other critters.

http://wwwaj-oaks.blogspot.com Cindy, my long lost twin has an assortment of cats, donkeys, chickens and a few other critters.

http://newtofarmlife.blogspot.com/ If you need a good laugh visit Aimee, she is always up to something and just tells it like it is.

http://aranchersview.blogspot.com/ and for a man's point of view check out Jim. He's mainly about cows and is  always willing to help out when he can.(When he's not slacking, LOL)

These are just a few of my close buddies that stop in and give me their 2 cents from now and then. I wish I had time to post all of my sights on my blog list. Initially this was given to Suzanne from a "goat" Mille, at http://www.edenhills.blog.com that has her own blog of a goats view and you can find her sight at Eden Hills. 

PS>Did I mention, I am not crazy about computers. Suzanne, sorry it took so long to pass it on. I still live in the land of dial up and posting takes 4 ever.

You really have done a little bit of everything. I'm guessing the farming is your favorite! Mine too.

Jim, Even a "slacker" needs a pat on the back every now and then. LOL

Teresa, I have moved away a couple of times, but always find my way back to the farm. I am pretty well grounded and I always have a back up plan if this route doesn't work. I am pretty determined to give it my best shot as long as the sun shines, the hay grows.
