Things are going well and I am getting to see more and more of Arizona. It is a drop-dead beautiful state and reminds me a lot of Central Washington but greener and not as hot. The Monsoon season is over sadly, I was loving the thunderstorms. Things are green and the wildflowers are blooming. My chickens are grown and starting to lay eggs and my second batch of chicks are doing really well. I have sold all the extra roosters and hens and kept my favorites. I use them for photography more than anything else. Here are some cose-ups of their feathers. Even chickens can be elegant and beautiful as well as funny and savage.<br />

Happy 4th of July, this is our sky today. I thought it looked like an eagle flying in front of the sun.

I went to the Prescott Rodeo Parade today and took tons of photos. These are some headshots I got of some of the beautiful horses and mules that were there. There was a lot more than just horses there and I will post more photos when I can. It was great. The Prescott Rodeo is the worlds oldest rodeo.

The baldcypress knees do not form on all bald cypress trees, but only on those that grow in standing water. Generally speaking, the knees are thought to develop to help the plant deal with long-term survival in an aquatic or swampy environment.<br />

Common Baldcypress looks like an evergreen, but is actually deciduous so drops its leaves in the fall. The growth habit is narrow while young but becomes broader as the plant ages. Common Bald Cypress is intolerant of shade when young and can be used near water. <br />

He spends his days all still and lazy and waits for night so black and hazy, slips silently right off the levee, moves gracefully for one so heavy, he swims out in the thickening fog, and looks... just like a floating log. He sneaks up on unwary prey, that live and die within the bay. And suddenly you hear the snap, the frightening jaws the great tail slaps. So when you're in the swamp real late, take care that your not gator bait!.........written by me!<br />

Swamp rabbits are a larger member of the cotton tail rabbit family. Their ears are much wider for cooling reasons. As the blood is pumped through the large, wide, but thin ears it is cooled, a very important accessory to have when you live in a hot humid swamp.<br />

Apples, peaches, and pears.. OH MY! Ron finally got a couple of days off and we worked all weekend getting the yard in order. I can hardly wait for the nurseries to open up for business, I have 3 patios begging for some big pots of posies. We are finally totally moved in and the house looks great. Our last house was such a toxic pit we never moved in completely and we lived there almost 4 years UGH!!!! The way I look at it is that having hard, yucky, stressful times only makes the good times seem that much sweeter and life is definitely sweet right now. I am loving Arizona, the people are great, the scenery is awesome, Prescott is amazing, and Chino Valley (where we live)is the laid back little country western town I was praying it would be. I wake up every morning to the symphony of roosters crowing and the sounds of horses snuffling and playing their bucket bongos as they eat thier breakfast, there are chickens and horses in every yard. Yesterday a lady drove her mini and cart by the house, it made me smile, we get as much horse traffic as road traffic here and I am loving it. I have baby chicks in the coop and ordered more from the hatchery. I will have bantams and laying hens. I chose <a href="http://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/wyandottes.html">Wyandottes</a> for my laying hens, they are not only good layers but also beautiful to look at. I ordered 4 colors, golden-laced, silver laced, blue, and blue-laced reds. I have silkies and frizzeled cochins for my bantams. I feel 10 years younger and my energy level has increased ten-fold, I wake up with a smile on my face and go to bed with a smile on my face. We have come out of the darkness and back into the light and I am thankful for every minute of it.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09906263735837142327noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581479608813172878.post-3429718906020680922011-03-29T19:45:00.000-07:002011-03-29T20:02:56.993-07:00How Nice to Meet Blogging Friends<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3vBWWm4C-ZC6k4gnr_qZBWVh5aERtXtKD9E7iF289XL68IycgUHzDVWpjskH2jWbJ_W-9SLl7AWb2L8CrbmCk2TjMSeNe-MZHdli-ScjwlDvnkrDoEWHDEWpDqQm9AyKYdyoOG_3nOo/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3vBWWm4C-ZC6k4gnr_qZBWVh5aERtXtKD9E7iF289XL68IycgUHzDVWpjskH2jWbJ_W-9SLl7AWb2L8CrbmCk2TjMSeNe-MZHdli-ScjwlDvnkrDoEWHDEWpDqQm9AyKYdyoOG_3nOo/s400/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589699182618602754" /></a><br /><br />Today I had a visit from one of my favorite bloggers Richard Dunwiddie and his son Mike. Richard was in Arizona for the Mariners Spring Training and came by for a visit. We had a wonderful day, the sun was shining and we had a great time. Richard knows all the best places to see in my new area and shared them with me. I wish he could have stayed longer but he had prior commitments. His visit was over too quickly but he has inspired me to rev up my blog and get it going again. Please visit Richards blog, it has a lot of history and interesting information about Deadwood South Dakota. http://www.dhsclassmates.com/ <a href="http://www.dhsclassmates.com/"></a>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09906263735837142327noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581479608813172878.post-84779640686881522502011-03-27T19:29:00.000-07:002011-03-27T19:32:18.539-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMtWbUlo25KK_9b6mAYDQHMd8u_8SdHQHTTdkJi_AoSG6FJ14cW6TEUs-k5e4GryInSA4_NwqAi202TXCuwEqgL6s9hSHoz1tKPsTxzgrol5bxN9HiaXxwLwC8qG0dC75C8RC6i1eUb3w/s1600/chick5.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 366px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMtWbUlo25KK_9b6mAYDQHMd8u_8SdHQHTTdkJi_AoSG6FJ14cW6TEUs-k5e4GryInSA4_NwqAi202TXCuwEqgL6s9hSHoz1tKPsTxzgrol5bxN9HiaXxwLwC8qG0dC75C8RC6i1eUb3w/s400/chick5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588935813506628674" /></a><br /><br />We have a real cool chicken coop here at our new home so of course I had to get aome chickens.

One is a total runt who won't grow but seems happy and healthy and eating and doing as well as the rest.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SiOC2mdzkyfEHRzYIXsL2OTLT30n7RgvzGnWIgC34T9bKyvEwtD2waHHNfYAYilQPKOIN22BJaWVysvLNwZsj0Xib7rZjLuHZQorXDWqZCo2WfLCdsrXQFaJyuO4aqaSrn7irV__Z4w/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SiOC2mdzkyfEHRzYIXsL2OTLT30n7RgvzGnWIgC34T9bKyvEwtD2waHHNfYAYilQPKOIN22BJaWVysvLNwZsj0Xib7rZjLuHZQorXDWqZCo2WfLCdsrXQFaJyuO4aqaSrn7irV__Z4w/s400/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588937788515713106" /></a><br /><br />THE RUNT<br />I hope<br />he/she will<br />stay healthy<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN84DboFXW0-g6en6o-IpsQxVqdxeZFf56gShep0viZTBQ4iGRuY0u08k1_tRVN7h3zYHxf239n0qzNIWRYEBJ1e9eZeduMS0jkWaiMve6s7CZ3ywsTsFmsGByjlD_Abimb3e2GUvskRw/s1600/chick4.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN84DboFXW0-g6en6o-IpsQxVqdxeZFf56gShep0viZTBQ4iGRuY0u08k1_tRVN7h3zYHxf239n0qzNIWRYEBJ1e9eZeduMS0jkWaiMve6s7CZ3ywsTsFmsGByjlD_Abimb3e2GUvskRw/s400/chick4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588935808876149234" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Doing the Chicken Dance<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEuO02K6oMgHDTSgVnokVLQmO_igBLdIEsLBGzDSuiSOoCSvmAfhpm2lPU4oNQN9ZgwbKIuL_miBA5iJ-8WUe2fEkVgGA6gbWDI7Ow4cFNkO8QQ61R8yG5TCtUjvYFPfoGOtWvgcehOk/s1600/chicks3.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEuO02K6oMgHDTSgVnokVLQmO_igBLdIEsLBGzDSuiSOoCSvmAfhpm2lPU4oNQN9ZgwbKIuL_miBA5iJ-8WUe2fEkVgGA6gbWDI7Ow4cFNkO8QQ61R8yG5TCtUjvYFPfoGOtWvgcehOk/s400/chicks3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588935802790813346" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Just chillin<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtW9KacdvsYMSXePKTEKOE7yYPnFC6DrbgKyzVoOk7xAUyd4yD0rg3H269UM-S-pPabdQBcXy6KUJJWQikYcPyZDv8D9jaGZWDDVzmuNLAK04qqMuk5z3YksVMdkzKuVNNSg3CG9wF_0/s1600/chicks2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtW9KacdvsYMSXePKTEKOE7yYPnFC6DrbgKyzVoOk7xAUyd4yD0rg3H269UM-S-pPabdQBcXy6KUJJWQikYcPyZDv8D9jaGZWDDVzmuNLAK04qqMuk5z3YksVMdkzKuVNNSg3CG9wF_0/s400/chicks2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588935799197730226" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is the lovely Floofie<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPmlGwe2NHctIC3Clxqt0jxxoMwUVmBQJIa4EEslpBuknGMpGk7izO3GNlUhZ1fkG1F39SuNsCHiquI2gNaqgl6XFxDnAENjwBMEHoPqaO2FQ7xv0ekYQDiIhTUQySPRJpniy9IeeMmo/s1600/chicks.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPmlGwe2NHctIC3Clxqt0jxxoMwUVmBQJIa4EEslpBuknGMpGk7izO3GNlUhZ1fkG1F39SuNsCHiquI2gNaqgl6XFxDnAENjwBMEHoPqaO2FQ7xv0ekYQDiIhTUQySPRJpniy9IeeMmo/s400/chicks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588935794586639234" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hot Chicks.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09906263735837142327noreply@blogger.com3
