Early Morning Visitors...

We had some early morning visitors...
 
 ~
 
 
 Love watching them...
 
 
When the bucks came in this morning the does moved off...The boys were feeling frisky and the girls wanted nothing to do with them!
 
 
 
 


Tuesday was a busy day...

I received a phone call Monday that the septic tank man would be there to put our system in early Tuesday morning at the property...WooHoo!!
 
 The sun was just coming up when I arrived and they had already started to dig...
 
 
 Here comes the tank...
 
 
 It's ready for the tank...
 
 
 Hooking everything up and finishing the drain field...
 
 
All buried and ready to go...I am so excited we are one more step closer to getting our house built. It's been a slow process but we've been doing it as funds become available. Eventually we will have our own house, yes we will!!

Photos from the past few days/week...

I've been taking photos, I can prove it by my full memory card, I just haven't re-sized them to post. So here you go, these are from the past week!
 

 
 I spotted these on the side of the road one morning when I had to return to school and take Michael the homework he forgot...So pretty it is called Dotted Blazing Star a member of the Aster Family and also known as Gayfeather.
 
 
 That morning we had fog roll in and the spider webs were covered in dew...
 
 
 Cow Pen Daisy's surrounding the yard fence...I love pulling up to the house and seeing all the bright yellow flowers!
 
 
 This is my brother and sister in laws bull, he's mean, really mean!! I don't like him and I certainly don't trust him!!
 
 
 One of their cows, she reminds me of Jar Jar Binks, a Starwars Character!! Meesa really thinks so!!
 
 
 The Passion Plant I put in at the property is loving this hot humid weather, we love the blooms!
 
 
 The flowers are blooming, in the past week we've had 1 and 3/4 inches of rain!
 
 
 The Harvester Ants are busy getting ready for winter.
 
 
 Yes Fred it is a weed but it's a pretty little weed!
 
 
 Beetle enjoying itself!
 
 
 Itsy Bitsy Spider...

 I could take photos of the passion plants blooms all day long...so unique.
 
 
 American Bird Grasshopper, they are huge!! The chickens love them!
 
 
 Silver Sage bloom
 
 
 Not in my books but I assume a type of Rhino Beetle, I love their colors and their horns are pretty cool too.

With this rain the flowers are blooming and the bugs are making an appearance. I've been keeping my camera handy!
