Waiting for Fall.

I am really over this whole Summer thing. It's been way too hot here in MD and the humidity is making it worse. Not a whole lot getting done around here as far as the yard since it's so blistering hot. I did, however, get 4 more chicks and right now they are in their brooder growing like weeds!Not sure how my bigger hens will respond to them when they go outside soon - so I'm crossing my fingers that all will be well.
I haven't even had much time for crafting either. I've been working crazy hours and start working full time in a few weeks. Hubby is unemployed right now so I need to get out there and make that money!
Anyway, just wanted to stop in a let everyone know that I was still here and missing all my crafting buddies!Take care and Happy Crafting!

Summer in the burbs

Wow - it's been one crazy summer here. Between work, family, and the animals..I've been busy. It's been way too hot for Maryland this year and I'm seriously considering moving to a higher elevation in the mountains...lol
I've missed being on here posting and I need to get back in the swing of things. The kids have one month of summer vacation left and the heat is making it hard to enjoy. I can not wait until Fall.
I did go out and get 4 more chickens and they are soooo cute. I got 2 Welsummers, a Buff Orpington, and a Cute little Silkie! They are in my room in their brooder now, peeping and playing. I just love baby chicks :)
This summer my hubby and I decided it was time to expand our backyard, so it's been a slow, hot process. We're making headway though and by the Spring of next year - we should have a HUGE yard for the kids and animals! I am definitely getting a hammock to relax in. That will be my gift to myself for all the hard work :)
Anyway, I'm off to make dinner, but I'll try to keep up with my blog. No promises since summer is always hectic for me, but I'll do my best!

Back again......

I was sitting here thinking about my blog today and what to say. It's been months since I've been on here and I feel everyone deserves to know why.
In late September, my cat Salem became very ill. For over 3 months, my husband and I took care of him, gave him meds, ran to the vet numerous times, and cried a lot. Salem finally left us on January 3rd 2010. He had bone marrow cancer and we just could not let him suffer anymore. He was the best cat I ever had and he will be missed terribly.
I have also been working day and night shifts at my catering job. The holidays took up alot of my time too. My van has been giving me a fit lately and as of today, it is getting repaired again :(
So, I've had my share of heartache and frustration these past 3 or 4 months. I apologize for not being on here.
Now, some good news. I adopted another kitty at the local shelter and she is so beautiful. She could never replace Salem, but Pika is a joy to be with and so lovable.
I have also been getting back to my crocheting and tote bag making. It keeps my mind off of things and relaxes me :)

So, I am going to post a few pics here and I hope to be back on here soon to give you more amazing thoughts from your suburban farmgirl...lol

This is Pika..my new kitty :)


Casey (my puggle) and Gunner (my german shorthaired pointer) :)


Salem (RIP my baby, you are loved and missed)
