So I belive that seeds have one sole reason for being...THEY WANT TO GROW....
Now sure I may belive that,but I'm like a house plant killer.I have never in my life been able to keep anything alive.My son Christopher in school he grow a sunflower...He even named this sunflower..lets just say LOUIE met an untimely death at my hands..oh the look on Christophers face when he saw his Louie,yeah I felt lower then the dirt little Louie was planted in.
Even with the death of Louie still so fresh(RIP...Louie)I decided that our ranch needed a veggie garden.
So before the cowboy left he fenced me off a great peice of land and I have planted an awesome garden.
All with the simple thought THAT SEEDS WANT TO GROW.And guess what???They do..OMG I have like real plants growing in the dirt1Its AWESOME.
I may have some cowgirl in me after all

Peacocks OH Peacocks
So we all know how I'm just ever so ffond of my chickens Well let me tell you chickens can't hold a candle in the fear department next to PEACOCKS..OMG these things are scarey as heck.
I don't have to get in the peacock pen everyday(thank goodness..cuz I don't think I could)But every three days I have to feed and water them(they eat and drink slow)
I have been going to do this before they "wake up"this morning I was running behind and didn't get to them till about 7 30 am..I thought ok they are still on the roost its all good.
I go in and they start screaming at me.Then as soon as I get the door shut behind me the big one...jumps down and lands on my head!!!!!!I freak out it freaks out..I have a ponytail his claws got tangled in it...OMG I have a peacock stuck in my hair(yeah its a bad hair day)So I try to calm down(well as calm as I can get)
This critter is screaming and starts clawing even more.Thankfully we both freaked just enough to get this thing out of my hair.
I did however get some awesome tail feathers today!!!
I guess my inner cowgirl hasn't surfaced yet I guess now the chickens don't seem so scarey anymore

HEY HEY HEY I got the HAY OUT
It was HAY DAY..Hay day is when well the animals get hay(you know hence the name HAY DAY---ok I just invented the name HAY DAY )
Ok anyways we have a HUGE Tractor to get these almost 1500pound rolls of hay out into the field.Now keep in mind we don't have lots of NEW anything..We pay cash for everything so new is hardly ever an option.So our tractor is OLD..I mean older then dirt(ok maybe not that old..but its old enough)
So to start this tractor you have to put a pair of pliers inbetween two bolts in the engine to create a spark(yeah a KEY would be so much simpler right?Oh no not in my life)Does the tractor have a key?why yes it does..only it has been so rusted its froozen in place..only my cowboy would buy such a tractor..lol
After about an hour of trying to get the spark..and lots and lots of curseing the cowboy,,After even thinking forget it I can just roll those bad boys out myself(pssst..its impossible to roll those things out..hahahaha..live and learn)I finally got the tractor to start!!!!!YAY ME!!!!!
So I then manage to get the hay out..woohoo I'm on cloud nine..nothing can stop me..I'm driving a tractor I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!
Well the hay is out in the field and I'm so freaking excited..I did it..Thats when it happened...
Can you belive after all the heck of getting the tractor going I have no clue how to turn it off?I swear total lose at how to get this beast to turn off.I'm now faced with two options I can just leave it running till it runs out of gas,or I could call the cowboy and let him know that really I'm so not a cowgirl
Anyways I bit the bullet called the man...had to listen to him laugh for a good 5 mintues before he explained there was an off button...right near the key that is rusted in place.
BUT HEY HEY HEY..I got the HAY OUT!!!!!
