See what happens when your butt’s too skinny?
Charlie made some homemade mac & cheese. Yum! (Think you might have forgotten to add a thing or two, Charlie?)
Nellie snuggling with her puke bucket. Heat exhaustion + tonsillitis = one very moody Nellie. Or maybe she ate some of Charlie’s cooking.
Q: What do you do with kids [...]

Dirty Children R Us.
The pond, filled with snapping turtles, snakes, giant barbed fish, and pathogens a’plenty. Yeah, great place to cool off.

That same rock looked at Duke wrong again. This time when Duke headbutted it, he broke it into three pieces. Steve had to rescue the poor rocks, digging pieces out of Duke’s skin.
Isn’t this how Bruce Banner looked right before he started turning green??
Just to show Duke does things other than headbutt rocks. He also [...]

First, a few of the plums from the other day, after stemming and cleaning. Gorgeous!
Someone did a dog dump & run last night. Jerks. I’ll spare ya the details but we’re keeping him (and getting “SUCKER” tattooed on our foreheads). He’s huge and, oh, the slime & slobber!!! He’s a sweet, gentle thing and listens [...]

Duke headbutted a rock because it looked at him wrong. Don’t ever look at Duke wrong. It makes him very, very cranky.
Bath time at the Speeds!
This evening, we headed over to a friend’s place to pick wild plums. Yum! Got 4-5 gallons, I think? Time to make some jam & jelly!
Nellie picked some yarrow there, [...]

Just for you fellow iPhone users out there (that I’ve not already pestered):
My brother, David, has just released a new iPhone app called YoFrog. Click that baby, read about it, want it, get it, and review it. You know you wanna. Then he’ll get filthy, stinkin’ rich and I can borrow money like there’s no [...]

We’ve been building a new chicken coop this spring, as you may have noticed in the background of certain pics. I decided to wait until it was all/mostly done and post all of the pics together. Here we go!
**Disclaimer: When I use the word “we” in this post, you can be fairly certain that I [...]

First, the obligatory baby pics:
On her last visit, Grandma Kaye brought a car-(non)walker-bouncy contraption. Josie’s getting pretty good at sitting upright these days, so I crammed her into it the other day to see what she thought of it.
Hmmm… Assessing the layout.
Hey! They actually left the keys in it for me!
Wait a minute… I can’t [...]

Two posts in one day?? I amaze even myself some days.
A rose I got from an Arkansas friend a couple of years ago, fully in bloom. The scent as we walk anywhere on that side of the yard is incredible right now!
Elderberries going crazy with the blooming as well. (Beans, lettuces, garlic, and onions in [...]

We all finally decided on a name for the new pooch: Doggy Kong, or Kong for short. He’s doing great, follows us around everywhere and, just this morning, scared away a roaming dog with his psycho barking. He gets along great with the cats and chickens so far.
Rocko, the big baby, in the baby bouncy [...]
