Bingo, the Muppet

By Beth -
This morning, i went outside to give my dogs some treats (because i love them), and i found this.

Muppet Bingo!

Poor baby.  Apparently, i didn't seen him earlier when i went to let the chickens out.  I would definitely have noticed this!

Poor Bingo!

If you're unfamiliar with my dog, Bingo.  His face is usually half that size.

I don't know if it's spiders or snakes or what it is, but this happened to Punkin once too (i didn't get good pictures that time).  Neither of them seemed to be in pain or even noticing their giant faces.  Punkin's was close to normal by the next day, if i remember right.  We'll see how Bingo does.  He wasn't exactly back to normal when i fed him this evening.

In other dog news, and a possible explanation of the muppet face effect, i went outside a little earlier than normal to feed the bunnies.  Thank God i went a little earlier than normal (i normally feed the bunnies after dark).  The dogs went with me, of course, and on the way there, they found something that got their attention.  I thought it was a frog.  We have lots of frogs.

Nope.

Snake.

SNAKE!

If they hadn't been in the way, i might have stepped on it.  And no, sorry, i didn't get a picture.  I did, however, hurry back inside while my hero dogs chased the mean ol' snake into the woods.  And while i was inside, i sang their praises.  Hero dogs!

I think the mean ol' snake might have been after my broody hen's chicks.  Not just because he's a chicken snake - but because Mathilde has forsaken her normal hiding place for the better-lit porch where the dogs sleep.

Oh look!  There's my dream team now!
Wait.  Let's try that again.
Everyone look at the camera, please!
Oh dear!  That's not what we're looking for at all!  Oh well. You get the idea, right?  They're still great dogs, even if they can't get organized for a group picture.

Oh!  Here's Bingo!  His face looks better, right?

Who are you?

I (and i assume pretty much anyone who writes about their lives and makes their writing available to the entirety of  the planet, via the internet) really appreciate knowing that people are reading what i write . . . and hopefully not scoffing. Because i am interested in having peeps read, i install things like statcounter on my blog so that i can see how many people are checking me out - and sometimes what they're reading and how many times.  What i can't tell, especially if you don't comment, is who you are and why you're reading. And maybe you don't want me to know.  That's cool. The other night, i got curious about an influx of new followers i see on my profile.  So i went to each followers profile to see what i could see.  But for most of you, there was still very little information. Bear with me, i'm coming to a point here. The point:  A few minutes ago, i learned that today, January 14, 2011, has been designated, by the influential authori...

Let's Break Bread

By Beth -

Let me start by saying that i am NOT an expert in bread-making.  I like to make bread, and my husband likes me to make bread, and i have messed up a lot of bread.  Also i have done a lot of reading and experimenting to learn how to stop messing up the bread. This i will share with you. Today i made basic white bread from a very old Betty Crocker cook book, and i took pictures for you. Every yeast bread recipe made with kneaded dough has certain elements to it, and the following very few tips can be used with any of them......no matter what the recipe says you should do. Tip #1, Take Your Temperature :  The recipe will tell you to take a liquid, usually water or milk, and dissolve the yeast in it.  Usually the recipe says something like "warm water," or "almost hot to the touch," or something else i can't properly decipher with my finger tips.  So i use a wonderful modern invention called a thermometer.   The two types of yeast readily available in th...

Ridiculous Ads for $100 Please

By Beth -
If you use Facebook, you may have noticed a vertical row of advertisements on the right hand column of your profile page that can be very entertaining. If you're not a Facebook user, please keep reading, i'll fill you in. Here's one of those ads: The heading reads "Women Born in 70s Look 25" . First of all, i take issue with that particular phenomenon being very miraculous, but let me know how this works for you. When i click on this link i learn about a middle-aged woman named Cara, who used to have wrinkles. Cara was 43 years old (NOT born in the 70s) when she stumbled upon a miracle cure for aging and wrinkles, blah, blah, blah. The most interesting thing about Cara is that she just happens to live in Coldspring, Texas. Can you believe it? I live in Coldspring, Texas! I have to admit that if i lived in say, Houston, or Spring, or The Woodlands, i would probably not have thought much about some random woman who discovered the fountain of youth coincid...
