shortyjohnson farms: Photo~op

For not starting out well, today ended up to be a wonderful day! I woke up early, headed down stairs (I live in an older 2 story farm house) only to slide off the second step from the top and continue on my ass all the way to the bottom. Somewhere along the line I managed to scrape my knee on the wall but can't imaging how?! After about 30 minutes and 2 cups of coffee I had forgotten all about it until a couple of hours ago when I bent over. My prediction is tomorrow won't be good. :) I promised by youngest son I would help him with his 1,000 word report on Zachary Taylor (12th president).
About half way through I decided to stop and take advantage of the daylight with some pictures.

Emma still has her bouts with the cats but overall, everyone is adjusting fairly well living under one roof. I still can't wait until spring and I do think I noticed that it was light a little later today~that brought a smile to my face! The countdown is on! I believe it's March 20?

BRING IT ON!

Emma, (pictured above) is my a.d.d. child. One minutes I am pulling my hair out and the next I am rolling with laughter. Actually, I often find myself trying to styfle a laugh while scolding her. I love her to pieces. If you read the GWP breed description you will see the reference to "clown" at least once if not twice. The only time this dog is still is when she is laying in your lap because she is truly the most affectionate dog or staring at the cats (or whatever else she is "hunting")It is all she can do to sit still long enough for you to snap off one picture then she's off. Usually she is dragging others in with her to play.
