We moved this love seat out of the house. When one of the legs broke, that was the last straw. Until the guys have time to haul it off, Rusty is enjoying the new porch furnishings. The cushions? The kids took those to the trampoline to play with them there.
What’s so special about June 9? Well, in my book, June 9 was an exceptionally fine cloud day. The sunrise and evening clouds were so colorful and spectacular that they deserve a blog post of their very own. What do you think?
While in Tennessee for Alan’s birth, we went to an estate sale. I bought this marvelous metal dry sink.
I found this picture on pinterest (follow me@Shannon Ranch). I loved it and used it as an inspiration.
Cim offered to paint it for me one day last week. I’m so in love with it. I’d like to use it someday in a real sink application somehow.
We also made a few other changes. We painted the coffee table a similar color and then distressed it a bit.
We also recovered a lamp shade. We ripped off the red material and replaced it with our color. Carolina is also sewing us some new curtains. I’ll post on that later when they’re all finished and installed.

We really enjoyed hosting the Rodgers family from Amhearst. They came to pick up some Turkey poults and chicks that Aspen had hatched out for them. We enjoyed homemade pizza (Aspen again) and a fun time down at the river.
The newlyweds joined us, too.
The river is one of the best places for kids ever.
Big sand hills along the river’s edge create a climbing challenge.
Nathan and Joel enjoy discussing the terrain.

Rusty never passed up a chance to swim.

Nathan, Stockton and Carolina went riding this afternoon. It had been a while since they had all gotten to go together. Nathan said his horse especially needed a lot of “schooling”.
These pictures were taken when they returned.
May was a very busy month this year. I’m afraid I wasn’t very regular about posting. However, I did find time to rush outside and take pictures of the beautiful and sometimes threatening clouds. So, for the sake of simplicity, this post contains most of the sky photos from the month of May, 2015…and there’s quite a few. Hope you enjoy! 
Just when you thought somebody’s grand kids couldn’t get any cuter, here come some more phone pics from Tennessee. This little chunk of sweetness weighs 18 lbs. now.
Marian had so much fun playing in Carolina’s playhouse. We would come to the sliding side window and pretend to order something. Then we would pay with a little “credit card”. Carolina’s little plastic cash register makes a little computer sound when you swipe the card through it. She also enjoyed washing the dishes, cooking and driving the car.

Look what Stockton caught.

Marian loves music…especially when she’s creating it.
