{this moment} ~ A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

My son, the 'bird' boy, practicing taking photographs of birds...captured a little one in her nest.

Life is amazing.

Summer...Relaxing-Friends-Creativity-Chicken Coops

This week...there has been a lot of reading, drawing, book-making, being creative, swimming in the pool, swimming at the river, 4H meeting, friend get-togethers, duck-egg-watching, shooting in the yard...and relaxing and fun. We also worked yesterday, finally getting the chickens moved to their 'new' semi-permanent, for at least this year-homes...

Chicken Coops

Using old rabbit hutches for these small bantams worked perfectly, they have their little house area with some straw and up on stilts should help protect against any predators.

We also installed a mister system right above hanging from the tree branches to cool them when the weather picks up this summer...

Next project, to get the middle cage a little partial covered for some protection and to get the ducks outdoors- that pen we are in the process of building. The kids also would like to paint and decorate the houses as well! Its coming along getting all these guys situated!

Happy Chickens in their new homes.

Love

Went to go to bed last night and this is what I found......

these two melt my heart...love my kids and my animals.

Love.

Puppy Love - A girl & her Dog

Not a puppy so much anymore but the first dog we got as a pup...he turned 2 this last February...I still can't believe he's already 2. Time goes by so fast! Our sweet daughter, nearly 14, loving on this pup! He has grown quite attached to her...I think they both enjoy each others company, love and bond.

This beautiful girl has only 2 weeks until she is 14! Beautiful inside and out!

Sweet Sunday Park Time

We escaped town for a few hours heading out to grab lunch and play at the park...what a gorgeous day, and even traveling just a little over an hour away, the temperature dropped by ten degree's to give us a slightly cooler breeze and a wonderful time playing chase, laughing, doing gymnastics in the grass, eating lunch and spending time together. Back home and to the reality of some house cleaning and animal cage cleaning before we get to go enjoy some festive fireworks tonight for the holiday weekend. *LOVE* these two silly kids!
