Minter Gardens..

Nel and I had planned to take our parents to

the VERY beautiful Minter Gardens before

it closed for the season; the weather was SUPERB!!

Art's parents pulled in right before we were

leaving, so we thought maybe they'd enjoy

the Alberta company as well:)

Some serious 'STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES' action:)

Around here..

The pups are getting SO cuddly

and cute and plump and adorable!

Mom was relishing the rays

on the front step yesterday..

the bricks hold and kick some

serious heat up front!

(Her torn muscles are healing slowly

but she does little with that arm..)

Greaser got kicked out..

After repeated sleep loss for hours every night

since the day we got Greaser, I've had enough..

Running around with a water bottle to shut

the MEOW at 2 a.m. isn't my idea of fun..

Staying awake for the next 2.5 hours thinking

of EVERYTHING makes it even worse!

So, I introduced her to the back porch;

Aneira and her were united-the feelings were

mutual-hair straight up and leave each other alone..

See where it goes from here!!

To market! To market!

Chuckles & Chortles are on the journey

from our back yard to our plates as we speak..

We brought them in last night (THANKS

to Wendy for letting us borrow the trailer!!)

and they are to be butchered today..

All went relatively smooth compared to the

horror stories we conjured in our minds when

thinking of the possibilities and probabilities:)

Curious as all get out with the trailer:)

Chortles hopped right up into the trailer; Chuckles not:)

Chuckles a tad hesitant and more vocal:)

Corn stalks in the trailer helped entice them in..

Frank helped us load them..

Getting acquainted with their cell mates for the night:)

End of the story!!

Our sunsets are glorious lately!

New Shop site!

Pretty pumped to see things

moving around and some action on the

new shop site!

Quick update:)

Krista - BUSTED:)

As if (when you're parked on our driveway)

you make Tyler pee by the slough! LOL

Cat update:

Darling feline who is terrified of leaving

the laundry room..

Purrs like CRAZY for us, but

will not venture out.. favourite place

to lounge is up on top of the cabinets!

Puppy update:

VERY SAD to have a puppy die overnight.

We think Aneira laid on him or somehow

pinned and suffocated him:-/

Nathan went out this aft and made a BIGGER

and BETTER pen for them all:)

Hopefully nothing like that happens again!!

All 3 colours cuddling one another:)
