Should I have stopped them?

OK I am officially a grown-up, yesterday the girls where pulling the heads off the dandelions that are in the "puff" ball state and blowing them. I panicked, I wanted to scream, "oh my gosh stop doing that, don't you know if you blow those things they will create more of those ugly little flowers?" I know that I did this as a kid even now I would love to pluck them and blow the little feathers off but the "grown-up" in me knows that if I do this then what little grass that is still in my yard will turn into dandelions.
Just so you know I didn't yell at my girls I turned and went back into the house, kids should be kids they should be allowed to blow the stupid flowers apart, I did. Did my parents and grandparents go back into the house when I did that?

Thanks Grandma!!

I believe there are miracles every where you just have to be open to them. I believe the flowers below have been helped out by my grandma who passed this year...let me explain. I have lived in this house for four years and I have done everything she taught me about Iris's to get them to bloom, remove some to make room, weed, fertilize everything..... and yet one or two and nothing more. This year almost everyone bloomed.....


so thanks Grandma!!!

What is going on

25 days left until school is out for the summer. Ask me and I might be able to tell you hours, minutes and seconds until we are released. The last couple weeks have not been great as school, we get to the end of the year and the teachers are out of energy but the kids are not out of problems. I don't know if this is why the issues seem worse of if they really are worse this time of year. Soooo to say that I am ready for school to be out is an understatement.....I AM ready.

We are almost done with all the baby lambs at our house, most have been sold except for a few little ones and the sold ones are almost all delivered, soon all the ewes will be out to grass, that in itself is a nice break, fewer chores. We add a couple show goats and 3 pigs to the mix but all in all not much to do.

We are gearing up for prom in our house, dress, tux, flowers, hair, where to eat, what time they are going all that stuff. Allissa and Jacob are both going to prom this year and it is really fun to listen to them talk with Jake telling Allissa what to expect.
