Gofer Blog

Gofer Turtles when Muture are approx. one foot long and one foot wide. Older ones have a black shell and the younger ones shells are brown and yellow. Not sure how much they weight. But I would say close to 10 pounds. They dig a big hole in the ground and this is where they stay all there life.
I have found six different ones sence we have moved out here in July. Today was a really big one. I write the name in middle square on shell, with a black permant maker. Named this one Mindy. I still am not sure how to tell if they are male or female. This one has a hole down the trail on the left just behind our garden. Thinking she is female and maybe the mama. Found a small one last week in this same area. I named the little one Baby. approx. big around as a grapefruit. We planted new grass from seed in July. They love to come eat this tender grass. Usually show up about the same time everyday. Around 11:30am and 6:00pm .
So this is my little summery of Gofer Turtle Life here on the farm. I will list the names of the ones I've found so far and continue to keep a record of the ones we find later.

2- Alston..... July 19, 2009.... Backyard
3- Libby..... July 27, 2009.... Backyard

Remembering Rambo

Yesterday Saturday morning we woke up to find poor little Rambo very sick. He would not get up or move, except open his eyes. Called the vet, they said bring him to office. So they started him on shock IV. Last Thursday he had thowed up on front and back steps. Looked like he had ate some kind wood. He chewed on everything he found. They did tests and said his liver showed a high count of forgin objects. But thought he would be ok.
The Doctor called us back this morning. He didn't make it though the night.
So very sad to lose a puppie. He was only 12 weeks old.
Rest in Peace Little Rambo. We Love You!

Small Stuff Moved

Got all small stuff moved out of all rooms in old house. Except for back bedroom and office. Still two outside buildings to pack up.

25th Wedding Anniversary

Wow married 25 years. Still in love and enjoying time we share together.
Doesn't seem like it has been 25 years. Time sure flys. Moving in our new house has been a Great Anniversary Present. We also got a new microwave. Sweetie got us a sunflower candle and made the most beautiful Anniversary Card. I will keep forever.

Rambo New Puppie

We got a new puppie today.
He's 8 weeks old.
Blonde golden retriver.
Named him Rambo.
Follows sweetie everywhere.

Moved in New House

We had been staying only on weekends in May.
Moved into New House .... Friday June 5th, 2009.
Planted Grass front and back yard, Saturday June 6th.
Much better with our own beds here now. Got Clothes and all the big furniture in. It's great to have more space to put everything.
Puppies are doing good out here. They stay on the front porch most the time. Lots room for them to run and play
Sweetie loves her new pink bedroom. Our bedroom is much bigger
too. Didn't relize how small our other one was till we moved everything in this one. I'm doing the kitchen in Sunflower Theme.
Wonderful to sit on open front porch and watch it rain. We have ate breakfast on back screened in porch a few times. It seems like an outside room.

New Springhill House

Plans are to start moving in the new house June 1st, 2009. Start of summer vacation. Inside is finished. Yard just needs alot of landscaping, some grass would be nice. 87 degrees here today. Looks like it's going to be a hot move. City girls gone country. Here we come.

Hope you all are doing well. I miss keeping up with these blogs. I've got to do better with that. Hugggs ~ Hope everyone is well and having a good day.

Springhill House

We have a new house! Yes it's really built. Sitting out there in the middle of the forest.
Still alot to do on finishing it. Major things left are carpet, paint, hook up water lines, connect power, landscapeing, moving our out door building from here to there.
Thinking hopefully we won't actually move out there until this summer after school's out.
Would save me 40 mile round trip school drive if we could wait till June.
Have to wait and see how things go on that.
Trying real hard to accept change. Going to be alot of that this year!

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope to catch back up with all soon! hugs

Summer Vacation

Just popped in. Seeing I haven't wrote anything here since June 1, wow where did June go. Well on to July...This was fun month for us. Had a nice 4th party with family and friends. Next week we had 4 day beach vacation. Sun, fun, good eats, and relaxing. Did some biking, putt putting, shopping and lots of swimming. The next week we went to north ga mountains. Hiking, water falls and spent a lot of time on the mountain lake. Then back home for a week. Next week we went back to the same mountain area, since hubby is working there. Did same stuff and enjoyed it just the same. Crisp air and great views. Found a friend from back home that has just built a log house 8 miles up one of the mountains. I could go on and on about that. It was just beautiful with a wild adventure ride on a 4 wheel drive Polaris.
Sweetie is back in school now (Kindergarten) and doing great. Lots better start than pre-k was.
House plans still moving along. Exact layout should be finished next week.
So maybe they will get started on foundation in a couple weeks. I am just stuck in a rut trying to pick the color on the tops for kitchen counters at the moment.

Oh I just remembered what happened in June. We got this:

Sunday is the new puppie, sister to CJ


Hope you all are doing well. Once again, sorry I haven't been reading all. Going now and next week to try to catch up with everyone. Huggggs~
