at the BUCK 'n RUN RANCH
He’s gonna’ dig! We had five yards of raised bed potting mix delivered for our new garden boxes. We managed to keep Tucker out of it for a couple of days. But he wanted it. He wanted it bad. On the second day ,we let him out on a tie out that was [...]
We aren’t sure if Tucker has been swimming before he came to live with us but he is afraid of the water a bit. He gets a little nervous before a bath but settles in once he’s in the tub and seems to enjoy it. He especially likes getting the shampoo massaged into his back. [...]
Please bear with me as I tweak my website. I love the WordPress theme I am using now but, as always, I want to make it my own. You might notice I replaced the beige background with a chicken wire image. I was missing my chicken wire. I spent most of yesterday trying to figure out [...]
This morning I took advantage of a little break in the heat wave to take a nature walk around the property with my camera. I had to make one stop before my walk, to put fly masks on the donkeys. I had hoped to put the masks on, give them a carrot and be on [...]
It is a bit out of control. I have a yard full of chickens and a house full too. I promised Michael I was done decorating with chickens but a trip to World Market got the better of me. I found this cute reproduction egg sign and I had to have it. How could [...]
I spent a lot of time cooking and photographing food this weekend. I learned that French fries need to be photographed almost immediately as they come out of the fryer. If not, they start to wilt and look unappetizing. I managed to get a couple of shots before my chili-cheese fries took a turn for [...]
Emus love to get wet and muddy. We used to hose them off several times on a hot day. They even like to swim. At the last property we owned they had a pond to cool off in. Honestly, they love a good wallow in a mud puddle even more than a swim. Here they [...]
When Michael takes Tucker for a walk, he lets him off the leash at the bottom of the driveway and he gets to run home. It is his favorite part of the day. You might also enjoy: Dog Day It was a good day to be a dog. Riding Shotgun One Step Closer!
We had a glorious morning here at the Buck ‘n Run. Michael mowed the grass yesterday, the sun was shining, it was 65 degrees. It was a perfect morning. I took my camera with me hoping to get some pictures of the baby chicks that hatched under my broody overnight. The result was blog fodder [...]
I have set this post to go live on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 8:03 a.m., exactly forty years after the horror of the Vietnam war came into my home. On that morning forty years ago, I was a homemaker, wife and mother of Mark, 5 and Andrea, 2. We had saved to buy our [...]
