HUNT~UN TIME ~ONCE MORE

chickens

heard something  the other night in the chicken coop, wait a min.  I'm getting ahead of myself here.

  The other morning, I thow some popcorn to the chicken , (cause they really like it)!  but  went back just a few seconds later   to check on something ,  and the popcorn was gone. 
Didn't  give it much thought , they mustof  been hunger.  any hoo,  the day went by.  We had to go somewhere  and didn't get back until  dark .   When  I got in the house , I  remembered I hadn't shut the chickens up.  
So  as I was going to the coop, that's when I  heard  something  coming from there, and  when I got there,
this is what i saw .

The chickens  were eatting the popcorn and watching a movie!

fall

if something looks  pretty on the outside doesn't all ways means that it is good on the inside, and somtimes if something doesn't look that pretty on the outside, doesn't  mean the inside is! take  incase these persimmons.

which one looks the best to eat?

OLD WAYS

a couple of weekends ago we wnet to a CELTIC FESTIVAL, close to where we live,

and we came apond, a husband and wife team making Lye soap, and we stood watching them make a batch.

It got me to remember , back to when I was a kid, and my grandmaw telling me, when she would make lye soap.

Well we bought some of it. DH uses it to get the stain from work oof his hands ,, that todays

soap wouldn't touch.

more company

Part one

have been going though some pictures .

some pictures of before I was born,and some when I was growning up.

and a lot has change, from then too now, I was brought up on old storys , of hunting and how things were back then, I must be getting old , cause I'm wishing I would have payed more mind to them!

Here is a shot of my dad when he was young, with his hound dogs, and it reminded me of the movie , " Where the Red Fern Grows" that was a very good movie.

old days

not much going on in our part of the country these days, when ya have to work 7day a week in town , ya don't have much time to do things at home but what ya have to do! and them when ya do get some time off all ya want to do is sleep!

He thought he was the star of the barnyard!

gone hunting

going after supper

just like him

Dad loved to be out doors, he was at peace there.

he never talked that much and didn't share his feelings !

I would catch him sitting on a bucket watching his mules ,

I often wonder what he was thinking at times. but never did ask him.

I think I took after him

one of akind

was going though some old pictures , and found this one.

I had forgot about it, this is a shot of dad and my first dog "Burrs"

got him when he was a pup, and looked like a black fuzzball.

named him after one of my history teachers in high school.

I loved that dog
