So, I was just telling you about me and my oddball bunch here at The Royal Ranch, and how I need your help with my new catch phrase. Well, they say I picture is worth a thousand words, and if I had had a camera with me this morning, the pictures would have been priceless!!!! I had to get back on and tell you all about it. As usual I had done my posting before everyone was up and out of bed. I got the boys out the door without a mishap, which is something to write home about, I must say. It is a beautiful morning here in Colorado, with a storm expected, so Isabella and I decided to walk the quarter mile to the bus stop.
That is where things went all wrong! See, animals don't like it when you throw a wrench into their plans. Once they see their feed mama head out the door it is feeding time, and that's that. So, for a quarter mile, I hear two battling roosters and two screaming sheep, you know they have been starving for a full twelve hours! Well, we haven't gotten the hang of walking to the bus, so we were a little late and had to run the last little bit, and Rosie (the dog) got really excited, and hopped right on the bus with Bella! Like a good girl, she followed Bell to her seat and sat right down. I had to climb onto the bus and coax her off amidst the joyous laughter of the kids and the crimson face of my poor daughter!
I then hurry home to feed the demanding animals that are bawling so loudly by this time that I figure I have animal control on the way. The chickens are stacked pyramid style against the fence to get out of their coop to see what kind of morsels I have brought them from the kitchen and to find their secret places to lay their eggs, it cracks me up every time! Finally I get a chance to play with my new lambs; Crash is "ramming" the water bucket, impatiently waiting for me to pet him. Princess, on the other hand is still quite shy, so I get down on the ground to try and get her to come near... and BAM, I have a lamb on my back! Will this place never cease to amaze me?
Don't forget to enter the contest!
I'm still laughing, envisioning the dog climbing on the school bus! The kids probably loved it.

ReplyDeleteThe dog's on the school bus,
Bella's face is red,
while two roosters are in a fuss,
and two hungry screaming sheep could wake the dead,
chickens stacked up pyramid style,
Crash "ramming" his head for awhile,
but what makes this Royal Ranch Mom smile?
A precious lamb on my back.
In my crazy, busy life nothing strange do I lack.
