Ace


Here's one more kitten picture. I took this picture of Ace the second he was born! Isn't he CUTE!

Hobby Farms

I just got an account on HobbyFarms.com, if you are on look for "Still Waters farm".

Finally- Kittens!

 Sorry it took me So terribly long to get these pictures! Our camera has been acting up and I've been super busy...lame excuses for some thing so cute - I know.
 The whiter one is Ace ( The boy) the tiger is Gretta. I think they both have homes but neither home is definite. They are both very cute and VERY playful.  Ace is much more friendly but they are both sweet. I'll try to get more pictures fairly soon.
The Kittens will be five weeks old tomorrow. Ace spits out any thing you give him but Gretta is eating her moms dry food all on her own! Independent little rascal!

Chickens!

 I GOT CHICKENS! I actually got them a while ago but I've been very busy and haven't been on the computer much - there for no blogging.
 The Polish is Zipphorah (Or Zippy) and the Mille Fluer is Hydi (Short for my favorite flower hydrangea but we don't ever call her that.) The itty-bitty chicks don't have names yet cause we are not yet sure of their gender. We will be giving the roosters to Larissa at Tiny Hill Farm where we got all the chicks (All except the Mille. Though she does have Milles.)
We (my dad and I) Got White Leghorns, Black Langshan/Jersey Giant Crosses, and Silver Spangled Hamburgs.

Evening in the Barn

 I was Milking Matilda and I turned my head and  something about the way my new couple bales of hay looked caught my eye...I hollered to Mary who was playing with her chick and asked her if she'd get me the camera. I took the picture using a lot of different settings. I think they came out nicely but they are dark (it was late in the evening as I was milking).

 I did some with flashes because of how dark the others were but I really don't like the look the flash gives to pictures




 The babies were watching me through their stall door (you can see one of them in the middle dark one) and wanted attention so I messed around with my camera some more and took some pictures of them through the wire.
