Oops!! This is what happens when I have too many irons in the fire! I fondly call it the "Month of May". Yes, indeed, I forgot to add the papers to the June Fan Freebie kit in the next post down. You can download them HERE

June 2023 Blog Train and Fan Freebie
I love June. Spring roundup is over. The horses are on pasture grass once again and off hay. All the new perennials are in the ground and growing. And new baby kittens are in the stables somewhere. A few more weeks and their moms will bring them out of their hiding spot to meet me.
I know a lot of you will be traveling this summer, so how about a little "Road Trip". The best vacations I ever had were driving "blue highways". You know, those little blue lines on a map that go places where freeways don't exist. Sure, it takes longer, but there are so many interesting people to meet, places and things to see along the way. Have fun this summer and drive safe out there!

And, for those of you who will be staying close to home, throw a backyard get-together for family and friends. Whatever you do, be sure to take lots of summer pictures. You can pull them out in the middle of winter and have something to smile about :)

The Boo Update --
Boo is a happy cat when I go shopping. There are all sorts of bags and boxes for him to play on and crawl into. There have been occasions where I can't find him anywhere. Sure enough . . . he's sound asleep in a bag or box :)
Meet me back here in July!

In my family, we have at least one birthday in each month of the year except for February and September, so basically, we celebrate "something" every month. Valentine's Day in February and Back to School in September. I no longer have children living at home, BUT it's really less hectic shopping when other people's children are back in school :)

What's a party without a lot of "noise" to go with it? I love graffiti on my scrapbook pages and use it often to add that extra "zing" to the pages. It's like an "After Party" party!

I told you last month how much Boo loves to "help" me with the plants. This cyclamen is his very favorite. At least once a day I'll find him sitting by it smelling the flowers. While he was watching the flowers grow, I rather enjoyed seeing him other than totally black as the sun bounced off the crystals hanging in the window and gave his fur patches of red color.
Until next month . . .

I had to stop by the feed store to pick up grain for the horses a few weeks ago. It should have only taken maybe a half hour, BUT . . . their baby chicks had arrived! All different kinds of them. Soooo cute! A couple hours later when I finally pulled myself away from them and headed back to the ranch, I thought about where I could keep chickens and how to protect them from predators. I used to have chickens and dearly loved them. They're sweet and actually like any other pet if you spend time with them. One time, it was the middle of winter and I went out to take care of all the animals. Well . . . this Pollack chicken had gotten herself caught between two posts. I got her out simply by lifting her up where the posts spread wider, but it didn't seem like she could stand on her feet. I thought they might have gotten frozen. If you knew me well, you'd know exactly what I did next. I took the chicken into the house, put her in the bathroom off from the kitchen and turned on the heat lamps. I made sure she could reach her food and water without having to move much. When my husband came home from work, he took one whiff and asked if we were having chicken!! I told him "no, but check out the "rehab center" in the bathroom". To make the story short, a couple days later, I came downstairs in the morning to make breakfast for the kids and found my chicken pecking on Benny's food on the kitchen floor. Benny was my parrot and that silly bird was clutching food in one foot and tossing it through the bars of his cage onto the floor for the chicken. He'd make a laughing noise and then throw out more. It was the funniest thing I think I have ever seen!

Yes, I've had rabbits, too! If you haven't noticed, my entire life has been devoted to critters and kids, and I've loved pretty much every moment. The colors in this kit match the one above so you'll have interchangeable pieces to build your scrapbook pages. Hop to it!!

I love gardening in the spring and summer here. During the winter, I keep my hands in the dirt with a ton of house plants to care for. The orchid was a gift from my daughter. I ice it once a week all year long and before the snow melts outside, it blooms. Boo has a great interest in the plants as well, especially the flowering ones. I think he must be able to smell the flowers even though people can't. He just can't resist jumping up and giving me a hand. Ummm . . . maybe I should say "paw" :)
Happy Easter everyone!
