Thanksgiving Telephoto-graphy

After arriving back at home from my grandma's cousin's house(where we had Thanksgiving) and doing chores, I took the opportunity to try out my new telephoto lens. :) It has an amazing depth of field!

I love how this one turned out!

This one is probably my favorite. :)

You called?

Sad puppy...

Which one is your favorite?

May According to Instagram

Here is the May installation of According to Instagram. These are not in order(because Blogger messed it up and I am too lazy to fix it), so certain events might not be together. I was going to do a photo per day but, as you can see, that didn't happen. :)

Reading the Two Towers on the way to Ohio for a wedding.

Oh, that's lovely! Snow on my recital! (Piano)

My piano teacher and I

Church History and Chocolate Pudding. :)

Pretending to play piano so Grace can take a picture.

Favorite picture of the night.

My great-grandma's confirmation class.
She is the one on the far right in the front row.

Lots of kitties!

Hehe. For my fellow "grammar nazis"

Aragorn. No explanation needed...

I have pictures from the wedding that I might get on when I get them off of Grace's camera.

A Very Productive Day(And a Very Boring Post Title)

Yesterday we didn't have anywhere we needed to be(a very rare occurrence), so we actually got to spend the whole day at home working on projects that have been waiting a while to be finished(or started).

Since it wasn't raining, unlike today, we could work on thing outside instead of just inside. And I felt productive. :) Yesterday I:
planted herbs and other thing in the garden
fed chickens
dried cilantro in the dehydrator
hung lilacs up to dry(I don't know if it will work, but I'm going to try)
picked up chopped up rhubarb for use at a later date
made homemade bread(Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...)

Okay, I'm done now. Can you tell I live on a farm?

Rhubarb!

Homemade bread

Yes, we had steak for supper. Doesn't it look good?

On an almost completely unrelated note, I finished school the other day! Well, not all of it. I still have one paper to write for English, but I need Dad's help so I will that this summer when I feel like doing school. :)

See you later!

Meet Ding-Dong(the lamb)

We have a baby bottle lamb. He doesn't have an official name(yet), but Grace likes to call him Ram-a-lamb-a-ding-dong(Ding-Dong for short), because, as she says, he is all three. A ram, a lamb, and a ding-dong.

Do YOU have any food?

Let me snuggle with your camera.

You're leaving me!

Food!!!!!!!!!

All tired out

Ding-Dong likes to follow us around while me do chores and likes running through clusters of chickens and making the fly up into the air. If we forget to feed him, he has his ways of letting us know. :)

Within the next week or so, he will have to return to the flock(don't tell him that). Hopeful he will stay there and not follow us back to the farm place.

Spring has Sprung!!

You know, if I say that I'm going to post soon, it might be helpful if I actually remember to publish or schedule to publish the post. Anyway, here is a most that I typed up on May 12 and forgot to post. :)


Yes, I know, the first day of spring was a while, back but evidently Iowa hasn't gotten the memo till now. :) It seems like we mostly skipped over spring and went straight to summer(It got up to 102 here on Tuesday), but we have had some nice spring days.

Here is what spring means to me:

Spring is flowers.

Spring is working on school outside.(With very helpful cats)

Spring is fresh rhubarb

Spring is budding apples trees

Spring is freshly tilled soil

Spring is baby lambs

And baby kittens

In case you're wondering, my hand is the for size comparison.

Here are some things I don't have pictures for but still deserve a place in a blogpost.

Spring is lilacs

Spring is tagging brand-new calves with Dad

Spring is finishing up with the school year

Spring is planting things and watching them grow
