House Update/Country Critter

I found out this guy/gal is going to make a beautiful butterfly called the Pipevine Swallowtail!! I found it next to our A/C unit on the side of our house. 



Micah took a week off from work and I took off a couple of days to work on the house. I couldn't take a week since I just had surgery and didn't want to take off again in such a short time span. We got quite a bit of wok done.We primed and painted all of the walls; that was a big step! We also stained the concrete floor in our pantry. I also started cleaning all of our millions of windows. That was a tedious job, and I still didn't finish it. 

Here are some photos of the progress. 







And lastly, my sweet perfect angel who is called Luna Belle.

progress and halloween

We have made a little progress on our house, even though it rained about two weekends in a row and we couldn't get back to our house because of all the mud. It is starting to look more like a house to me now!

I am still adjusting to life out there. It's difficult at times and I have my moments where I wonder if I will ever fit into rural life.

Yesterday Micah and I drove out there to drop off some shelving units we bought at the container store. I found out that the donkeys that were in the field next to ours were sold to a dog food plant. :(  I cried my eyes out like a baby. I can't even imagine how they kill donkeys, but just thinking about it hurts my heart, my big bleeding heart. It's crazy how attached I got to them, even though they weren't mine. I would go pet them and pick out certain weeds and feed them. I even fed them whole carrots. I would even talk to them. But I must not think about it.

Here are some photos of the sheetrock and also of my Halloween costume. I'm pretty proud of it. I got it all at Goodwill! In case you are wondering how those two go together, they don't. This is just a random blog post and it's MY blog.
