Grandmother's House might be Haunted

My son think there's a room at his great-grandmother's house that's haunted.

It's one of the guest rooms.

He feels a presence.

(This is where their Legos are being kept for now, remember my Lego sneaking story?)

So, I went into the room to take some photos.

Hoping I would catch this "presence" on "film."

It's looks like a nice room to me.

Although the rabbits seem to be staring at me...

Do you get that feelings too?

Seriously, I love my grandmother's house.
I love that she's moved to town.
And I don't mind if she has a haunted room...

as long as I don't have to sleep in it.

But I may use it as a threat for punishment with my boys.
hehe

Honestly, I think the only thing haunting that house is my grandmother's cat,
Honey Bun.

That cat is SCARY.

The Cow Mattress

Did you know that there is a product out there called a "cow matress?"

It's a padded mattress for cattle, specifically dairy cows, to rest on.

It puts less stress on their joints when they get up and down.

Apparently, happy cows make happy milk.

So, I'm torn...do I want organic, grass-fed cow milk?

Or comfy, happy cow milk?

And what's next?

Hamocks for our chickens so they're more relaxed and we have better eggs?

Or maybe pedicures for our pigs, so they produce better pepperoni?

I actually think this was an awesome invention, and I wish I'd thought of it first!!

The Mushroom Massacre

I can't speak of it...it's traumatic and distressing.


These beautiful mushrooms I photographed earlier this week?


Here they are now...

Someone terminated all the mushrooms!!

Uprooted, smashed,
kicked and thrashed...

every mushroom in the backyard!

However, it's been raining all week...
and more are growing as we speak!

A House without Walls

We pass this house on our way to Stonebriar Mall in Frisco
(which is the nearest town with a mall).

This house baffles me.

It has no walls.

I can't decide if someone just had to stop in the middle of building it.

Or if it burned and that's all that's left.

Or if it was made to look that way...for some specific unknown reason.

It'd be a great place for a concert.

My kids think aliens did it.
of course.


Sometimes I feel like a house without walls.
Exposed.
Gutted.
But unique.

hehe


Actually, I found the real story behind the house.
