A little about Us ~ Revised.

Life happens and things change.

Us...

Is still me and the animals. However, a few of us have passed on and a few new members have joined the herd. I am still in the 5th wheel living on the Bright side of the Barn. Literally. The dirt paddocks have turned to luscious green grasses.

CHANGES.....

We are looking for a new home for the goats. Joey and Phoebe. I have come to realize that I am just not a goat mom. I feel they deserve better, someone who truly enjoys and loves goats.


Miss Star Bright is still the queen of the barn.


Since the adoption out of Odessa and My Angel and the passing of Buddy, she has been alone for almost a year. 

And now has a new little friend. "My lil Shining Star"


The grand kids now have a pony to call their own. 


I have chickens and more chickens. With about 8 eggs a day now, and 18 a day starting here in a few weeks. We have what's called 'Easter eggers', which is a variety of chickens that lay a variety of colored eggs. So it will be fun to see what colors we get everyday ! 


Then there are the ducks. It was supposed to be 3 pairs of 3 different breeds. So far I know that the Swedish are both male, and it looks like the runners are both male. So if we have a female it will be the white crested. Daisy Duck may be changing to D Duck....

Oh well. I love ducks so it really doesn't matter. 


The house has become quiet. With only the 3 cats left. It's quite different. And much to adjust to. 


There is one more new member coming, but I'll leave it for now as it's a surprise for someone......  

So there you have it. The new US. Things have changed. Yet, so much is still the same. The love the peace and the joy are all still here.

Life. .... 
Just breathe and walk on.
You can get through anything.

Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn.

Until next time, Stay healthy and Happy Trails

Mother's Day ~ 2020

I hope your day is as amazing as it could possibly be.

I spent my evening and night with 3 of my grand children. We came to Grama's house last night, and roasted marshmellows by the fire, since camping isn't an option yet this year. Then ice cream and a movie. My house is full of sleeping babies this morning. It feels great.

One of my other little grand daughters, surprized me the other day. She told me how she remembers her first time spending the night with me, and it was on Mother's day! She's only 4 !

It's amazing the impression you make and leave on your grandchildren. I think I've enjoyed being a Grama, more than I was able to enjoy motherhood. It wasn't my children that made it difficult, it was the circumstances around our lives that presented the challenges.

We have a new horse, it's their horse. Last night we all had to go to the barn to say good night to the horses. So cool to watch them interact with the animals.



Not everyone was blessed with the greatest of mother's, but without her, you wouldn't be here. So at least give her the respect she deserves for choosing to give you life. 


Happy Mother's day to all of the beautiful mom's out there. Fur baby mom's included. Without you, they would have no one.

Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn
