We the people had fun today!

Here's a day in the life of Karen and her two girlies.  
It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day and though they did no church bell ringing or bubbling renditions of his infamous speech it was a memorable day off of school just doing what we do. 
A little goat feeding is the first chore of the day....


The sun was shining brightly the whole way over this morning above the 49th parallel so the fog here was sure to roll it's way on out.   
First up was the grain....yumm yumm!

Kyleigh peaked from behind the fence....


There's always seems to be a hierarchy with animals...and perhaps large families:)  Some get more, some get less, some get pushed out of the way, it's just the way it is.


I wish this one wasn't blurry, I almost deleted it but it's was simply too cute to throw away:)

Yates get his own little pen to stay away from the ladies:)

If you ever wonder where Yates got his name....I'll let you in on a little secret...
Three Billy Goats Gruff 

                       (Ladybird First Favourite Tales)


Mikenzie was here with me watching from the inside. 

And 'not my daughter' Ali or is it Alley the dog? stayed out altogether.  

Breakfast!

All done!

Sadly, the 'Whatcom Lawns' truck is no more.  
But don't be sad!! It's now the 'What Lawn' truck!  heh heh.  
Who knows maybe soon it'll be just 'What Law?'  
Or just 'What?'  
The possibilities are endless!

Being Canadian and all, eh....I didn't know what was up with all the flags in Everson along the roadsides...but Karen put me in my place quick.  I must have skipped all the American History classes that weren't offered at Credo:)


We packed up and were off to Bellingham on the scenic route.  We made a couple stops but you can be sure one of them was Joann's:)  
We did not buy this flannel.  But wanted to.

Then we hit the road north again to Berthusen Park.  It's a little gem hidden in the forest, a neat farming piece of history.


There's lots of trails there....and bears!  

I thought it was pretty neat to hang out with these chicks today!  It was beautiful out when the fog rolled away!

Until Karen uh, pinched a loaf, I mean took the browns to the superbowl, I mean, she used this historic 'loo' like the farm girl that she is and brought the fog back in.  She's such a peach:)
Thanks for a fun MLKJr. day nonetheless Kare-bear!

thanks so the picture update Jen!
In case the rest of you noticed my awesome expression in Pic #4, this was when Jen asked when the goat in the pen was due... I beleive I had just laughed, and started to say "when is HE due... it's a BOY" when she snapped this pic... a lesson for Jen in gender differation...

Jen said...

Well I'll Be!!!! I could hardly even tell it was a goat!!!! His head was in the bucket and I couldn't see his or her arse end! Cut me some slack lady...back in the olden days I could call out the sex of a newborn calf from the deck of our house! ....ahaha!! :) :) :)

Karen said...

Yeah, anyone could call it from the deck of a house. But that doesn't mean you're right... :P
