Gonna Ride that Donkey, Donkey

Have you ever seen this type of "Donkey" before?
I hadn't!
 
When I pulled up behind it last week, I had to snap a photo.
 
 
The new "Donkey" song by Jerrod Niemann popped into my head.
It's a silly song with a catchy tune and seeing this "Donkey" gave it whole new meaning.

Ring Bling

The new "girls" seem to have a thing for Bling!
 
 
They were fascinated with my ring and moved ever closer for an inspection of it.
 

Then they had a discussion about how pretty it was and tried to grab it off my hand and run.
 


I guess even chickens think "Diamonds are a girls best friend!"

Early Summer Catch Up

Yesterday was the first day of summer, but summer around here begins with the first cutting of hay which started earlier this month.
First cutting is officially done and in the stack.
The days for the most part, have been mild and warm, which has been nice.
 
 
Days in the 80's make for pretty, cloud filled, blue summer skies.
 
 This month is going by fast!
My office at work is finally put back together after the flood and repairs.
Being displaced for several weeks was no fun at all!
Things at work have now resumed their usually hectic pace!
 
I try to find time to enjoy a little reading and wine when I can!
 
The neighbor girls worked hard on this pallet flag and gave it to me last week!
I LOVE it!
 
It was the perfect decoration for Flag Day on June 14th.
It sits proudly on my patio along with some pretty flowers that I purchased a few weeks back.

Strawberry Pie

It's June 1st already!
How did that happen!
Today was the perfect day to make a pie.
I contributed for a case of strawberries from Bountiful Baskets this past weekend.
I picked them up on Saturday and they were gorgeous!
 
I cleaned them all up today.
Froze some for later and then decided to make a pie.
 
One of my favorite pies growing up was the strawberry pie from Marie Calendar's.
So I did a little pinterest search and found a recipe that sounded similar.
I used this recipe and made this pie!
 
 
There is an added benefit to this pie...
Everyone is gone, hubby on a fishing trip and daughter on a  house sitting job.
So that means...this entire pie is mine!
 
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
