Newest Shed ~

Bought this used shed back on the 18th of Oct... and we finally 

was able to have it delivered yesterday.

Is a small Board and Batten Amish shed.. just 10 by 12'.

Will be for the sheep and the geese once they get here. DH is leveling it this morning.
Removing the patch work floor.
Needs some patching up, but should have it ready to go for the animals some time this week.
Hopefully I will be able to get it stained and tied down,

 before the weather gets too cold.

Rose the Kitten has her own Blog ~

At many friends requests, Rose now has her own BLOG and FaceBook page.

Come see her tiny adventures! LOL

More photos of Rose ~

She is such a cute kitten.

Raarrawaa... I am a feisty kitten... LOL

She is settling in well. Have a large play pen for her to play in, when Mia is out and about. We are slowly getting Mia used to her new buddy.

A new kitten ~~

Well, I wasn't planning on getting a kitten, and we did not get the kitten I originally was going to see....

There are sooo many kittens that need homes, is scary.  She was one of 6, if I remember correctly.

She snuggled right into DS, and me... right now she is on DH's chest, they are both sound asleep.

I want to call her Rose... DS wants to call her Ashley.....   LOL
Will figure it out sooner or later.

She is only 1 month old, so I bought her special kitten food and got some kitten milk for her.

The Moon and the night sky...

Tried to get photos of the Moon early this morning... I forgot to set the camera up... or get the tri pod out.  

Canon did this, on just a normal setting....   then the clouds rolled in and there was no way to see the full eclipse. 

The night stars were very pretty. 

 On the photo that looks black.. there is a bright star that was off in the North East... and very faint tiny colored stars can be seen if you look closely.  

So I "think", if I get this camera set up right.... I could do some sky photos.

Re painting the Hen House~

Decided a long time ago, I wanted a yellow Hen house with white trim.
Took a few years, but it is finally happening.
Above you see the first coat of Primer going on.
Took two coats of Primer to make the red go away.

DH still working on the shed at 5 pm.  Two very full days of working on the Hen House to get to this point.
There will be some more trim and touch up I will need to do later.
Still need to put the shutters up and I think next spring... I will put little flower boxes under the windows.

Still need to stain both the Hay shed and Run in shed.  But that will have to be for another weekend.

The yellow color is a bit more bright and cheerful in the sunshine.  Is the same color as the front door and shutters on the House.

Working on the Front door~

Hail damage to the side panels.

 So DH sanded down the side panels and front door.

I decided to go with a more cheerful color that would handle the heat we have in this State.

Lots of prep work. Also put on two coats of white primer.

First coat of color.

I did the last coat of color.  

Still need to take a fine brush to the areas around the glass panels...but it is pretty much done.

One set of shutters up, 3 layers of primer and 2 coats of Color.Just have 3 more sets of shutters to do.
But it will give you an idea what the house will look like.


Really want to change all the outside lights,,, but that will happen in time.
