countrypeapie: the man eats raw eggs

http://countrypeapie.blogspot.com/2010/03/man-eats-raw-eggs.html

Living where the sky is wide, the grass is tall, and the chickens cross the road just to exasperate us. Sunday, March 14, 2010. The man eats raw eggs. Me: Tell us about eggs. Lee: What would you like to know about eggs? Me: What prompted you to begin eating raw eggs? Lee: I believe we have established that I am mildly insane. Me: Were there any other contributing factors - health benefits, taste, etc? Me: So it's a darn good thing our chickens starting laying again recently. Lee: Si. Yes. Lee: Yes, yes.

The Chosen Child: September 2009

http://thechosenchild.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 13, 2009. My Head In The Clouds. I am still working on boxes in between my school visits, but have a long way to go. I still have not found the sheets for our bed. We are using the sheets we used before our last redecorating of the room. So we have green and rose sheets in a blue and burgundy room. Not pretty, but it works. I am also having to replace our window treatments since our old windows were wide and squat. Our new home has tall and thin windows so none of our curtains work.

The Chosen Child: Welcome To Our Home

http://thechosenchild.blogspot.com/2010/01/welcome-to-our-home.html

Thursday, January 21, 2010. Welcome To Our Home. We had just gotten settled into our home when it was time to decorate it for Christmas. Now that the decorations are down and put away it is time to begin showing it off to all my visitors. It was so easy and since I already had the ribbon, both windows only cost me the price of the fabric ($15.00). I also purchased small silver frames and printed black and white pictures of us to hang from the rod. Over Christmas this is the room that David slept in. ...

The Country Experience: Murder Most Fowl

http://thecountryexperience.blogspot.com/2009/05/murder-most-fowl.html

Monday, May 18, 2009. I'm not a happy camper. Something managed to get into our chicken coop and killed all 9 of our chickens. We had to bury 8 of them; there wasn't anything left of the ninth but feathers. We have seen where we can make improvements to the coop. I'd also put in a very high roost, as the low one was knocked down but the higher one wasn't high enough to keep them safe. All the time and energy and socializing we put into them- gone. It's hard to believe. So sorry about that.

The Country Experience: Properly Named Wildlife

http://thecountryexperience.blogspot.com/2009/05/properly-named-wildlife.html

Sunday, May 24, 2009. A few weeks ago I saw a woman who had stopped her car and was using a piece of cardboard box to push a turtle to the side of the road. Now I know a reason why that is a good idea. There is nothing to be afraid of. Was I ever startled when the turtle in one quick motion launched its long neck and tried to bite me! Fortunately I had only lifted it about 6 inches off the ground at this point so it didn't have far to fall when I dropped it in shock. WTH? I had no idea that some turtles ...

The Country Experience: January 2009

http://thecountryexperience.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 25, 2009. This is a picture of the branch that has been peeled of its bark by a squirrel. You can also see in the background that a woodpecker has taken a liking to this tree at some point in its lifetime, as well. It's an old tree and is probably on its way out according to the former owners, but it frustrates me that a squirrel may be hastening its demise. Bad squirrel! It's not like there isn't enough food around here. Grrrrr. Links to this post. Thursday, January 22, 2009. They were s...

The Chosen Child: Bathroom Humor

http://thechosenchild.blogspot.com/2010/04/bathroom-humor.html

Wednesday, May 12, 2010. I said I would be showing David’s bedroom and bathroom. However, he has asked that I not show his room for privacy reasons. Translation: I don’t want to keep my room clean enough to get a picture. The joys of teenagers! I have enjoyed having lots of walls and the ability to show a bit of who we are on those walls.

The Chosen Child: January 2010

http://thechosenchild.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 29, 2010. The view from our bed last November. A different angle of view from mid-December 2009. The view from our bedroom window - January 31, 2010 at 7:15 am. How would you like to wake up every morning with a different view out your bedroom window? That is exactly what we have and often the view will show drastic changes before we even make it out of bed. As the sun rises over the mountains the changing colors and shifting fog create a show of the glory of God. The beautiful curtains i...

The Chosen Child: June 2009

http://thechosenchild.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 23, 2009. I have often heard the saying “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.” Well, two weeks ago I told of my plans to get so much done before David got out of school for the summer and God began laughing before the day was out. I could just hear light laughter. Sure, when would they be going through? So for two weeks very little packing has been done. We have also not received our approval and the cottage is still not on the market. I have left messages for the lad...This ...

The Chosen Child: May 2009

http://thechosenchild.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 25, 2009. Since I didn't get any of the birthday boy’s pictures up yesterday I am going to treat you to double the pictures today. It is funny because David doesn’t take a lot of pictures. When we have gone places and spent the entire day, Rich and I will take hundreds of pictures and David will only get about ten. But as you can see—his ten are beautiful. It’s Arlington House that stands proudly behind the Tomb of the Unknowns. These last three are all from Mount Vernon. You ha...This last p...
