Tear the woodpile down 'n stack it up

Not bad for and hour's work



They was a stackin' while I was totin' it in.
My good little helpers.
Wheww..glad that's done!


Link Union

Good mornin' 
I just have to share a new little bluegrass band with you! Anybody that knows me knows I'm a big bluegrass fan. I am also a big Marty Stewart fan and just have to watch him every Saturday on the RFDTV channel. After the Marty Stewart Show there is also the Midwest Country Show; this is sometime a bit simple and it is very local artists most the time. Sometimes I don't prefer it but I was so excited to hear the band Link Union this past weekend. 
I just love 'em!
I wish the whole show would have been just them!
There young, cute, and absolutely talented!
I've liked them on the facebook in hopes that I'll know if they every get anywhere close to Stuart, Virginia.
So I can't help myself but share them...


This video is from 2011, they are older and there music has gained so much more depth.
This is also on of my all time favorite songs.




And one of my Marty Stewart ~Superlative favorites...

One More Hat

Yes, one more hat.
A little different flower
and I'm already thinking about another

Gettin Down on the Mountain

          

Thanks, 

Loretta, Loretta...Where have you gone?


What a hectic couple of weeks? I have been blessed to begin a new job. But with a new job, comes new routines. The Old Man and the kids have been a bit tousled, along with our animals and me too. I got home after dark Tuesday and after putting my bag away and checking in with the family I went out to check on Judd our goat and our hens.
Judd is a big cry baby and he was hollering at me from the time my car hit the drive as only a crazed eyed billy goat will do. After he settled down I walked on down to shut the girls up for the night. I found we were missing one. 
The loss of a animal is typical if you have animals for any length of time but I have to say it has hurt my feelings a bit. I might have known Loretta would be the one to come up missing. She's like the outcast. She's the one whose always by herself while the others stay closely together. She's a bit of a loner and I'm sure Bertha has hen pecked her quite a bit. 
Has she decides to roost out somewhere other than the hen house?
Did some varmint  get her? 
Is something ready to prey on the other girls?
or
Did she just keep walking and not realize she had to walk back?

All I have is questions.
It's quite funny the way things will change on a person. My first thought of having chickens was for eggs and I was going to put some in the pot. Instead they have taken their place just as a family member and here I am typing up a whole post on my missing Loretta.

I wish you a very blessed day 
and thank you for stopping by for a visit.
