To Vacation and Back

Here is a little wave for you from up at Iron Creek Falls

Sister Chelle wants to make sure you don't miss the beautiful falls.




She wants you to know it is scary up where we are sitting, she thinks grabbing the log will keep her safe.

Okay, now we are all normal, sort of.

Here is Martin, his favorite place is on the floor when we are in the truck.

Heading up to the huckleberry fields


maybe he has another reason he hides on the floor.

The view is worth as much as the huckleberries.

Except it doesn't make a very good pie.

The top of Burley mountain as seen from where we park the truck and pick berries.

Never fear Huckleberries, we will be back next year.

These are the dogs that we took with us
Janie, Rose and Pitiful Martin.

Home Again!

"I am so happy to be home," Janie says. She smells the

barn when she gets home.

Some of those who stayed home pretend to be unfazed by our return.

But others were interested in our return.

Others just wanted food.

Aren't they just the cutest little smudgy faces? They are learning to eat kitten food and they get it all over themselves. They needed to go in a cage for their own protection. Rat Terriers see these kittens as just really fuzzy rats.

So sad but these little guys did not greet us when we returned, they had the unhappiness of disappearing while we were gone. Who knew horses eat goldfish. Just kidding. The blue heron must have gotten a free lunch in the horse trough. How many fishies do you see in this picture?

How many kittens of Pippi's do you see in this picture?

No question here, all four horses were glad to have us home, and took us, Bet, me and mom, for a three hour ride the next day after we got back.

New Farm Kittties

One week old, just little kitty rats right now.

Waiting for their eyes to open and personalities to develop.

Some Kitty Music for Monday

I found this video.

I thought it was pretty funny.

Very true of most kitties, tabbies especially.

Hope you enjoy it.

Holly's Stay in Orting

Mr. Weeks took Holly for a week to breed her to his Stallion, Rancher Gold.

I missed her very much but I knew that he was going to take good care of her.

We went in to the barn to see if she was really in heat.

She was going in, so we left her there.


Here are some pics of the stallion.

He is a really nice horses, he even let me pet him.

He sure does like the camera.


He looked sad to see her go,
he is probably saying, "they come, then they go."

If all went and continues to go well, Holly will foal in July 2010.

It's hard to wait a year.

This is the horse that Holly shared a paddock with during her stay.

Mr.Weeks said when he took his gelding out, Holly would freak out so much it sounded like she was going to die. So I think that she had a good time.

I am sorry, I posted too soon.

Winter is back! He did take a little trip, I am so glad to see him. We think that he said he went to Alaska, but it was way too far for him.

Thank you for your prayers.

I Hope Winter isn't Gone!

My kitty, Winter, has been missing for a couple of days.

I really miss him, he was the best cat, ever. He loved to have the Terriers chew on him, it was like a massage.

Purr Bobb and Winter loved to sleep and play together.

He rolled over a lot, I think it was his favorite thing to do. I hope that he just took a little trip

and he'll be back soon. If not, I will miss his loviness, I will never have another cat like him.

Cougar Rock in Mt. Rainier National Park

Last Monday Bet and I went hiking with Mike and Michelle.

Whoa, that is a big hill!

This is video of the river


Michelle is testing the river with her hands.

I tested the river with my face and it was cold.

Bet stuck her face in too. Yep, all agreed, it is cold.

We wanted to go to the big rock and sit on it so we crossed over the little stream

We saw some cool things like this tree growing around the rock

and then up.


These are the steps up to the waterfall.

And this is the waterfall

We had a great time, thanks Mike and Michelle for taking us.

Cougar Rock is a Tabby!
