Blogger Problems

Well I've tried all day to upload some new pictures and there is a problem with the blog site.

We are having 'coon problems again and so last night Clay and I had been asleep for awhile and I turned over toward the door and realized a light Drew and Frances use on their side of the house was on, it was almost midnight. Then I heard one of the outside doors close. Clay got up to check on things to find that Frances had seen 2 'coons on top of the hen house and she woke up Drew and he told her to just scare them off (I can't imagine why he didn't want to get out of his warm bed to go chase down wild animals:)
So Frances goes out to scare them off and she turns around and there is Drew, they don't see the 'coons anymore but here something moving around in the woods (crunchy fallen leaves gives them away) so they go off into the woods chasing, whatever, and Drew sees something and shoots, it's just an armadillo. By then Clay is outside so Drew comes in and Clay and Frances look around and check on the chickens. Finally they come in, Clay goes to bed and then finally gets up again to tell Frances to go to bed and stop worrying about the chickens.

Frances is incredible around here. She is thriving on the farm life. Her and Alex both call the chickens, "babies" plus she feeds and waters Yaco (our African Grey Parrot) every day also Erin's 2 cats that are living here for awhile. In the spring we will be getting 2 baby feeder pigs, then have them slaughtered in the fall and we are going to also get 2 pygmy goats. There is a guy at the Sheriff's Office that has a friend who raises them so we are set to buy them in the spring. The goats are going to be for weeding our acreage but mostly just pets. Frances used to spend so much time in Hawaii watching tv. It was too hot to do anything else. Here though she is always outside and always finding something that needs to be done. Our family is so blessed that Drew married such a wonderful person. We love her so much.

Well I will try and post new pics tomorrow but that was our adventure last night.

love you all
