Seen around here

Going through my pictures of the last couple weeks, I've found an interesting assortment that I'd like to share. I don't necessarily have a long story to share about each one - sometimes I only have a short caption - but every picture below, for one reason or another, makes me smile, laugh out loud, or cringe a little bit. Who wouldn't want to look at pictures that have the potential to do all that?!

Let's begin:

This....is disgusting. And it happens all the time around here:

If everyone around you is getting sick and you, yourself, are starting to to feel more than a little paranoid about catching something, I can tell you that it totally helps to make up a pretend health drink that you firmly believe has the super powers to fight off all the hyper-potent (I made that word up) germs trying to nab you. This is mine. I drink it every day:

I love to get packages in the mail. Penny from Back to Basic Living sent me four starts from her horseradish plant. I love the thought of planting things from friends' gardens:

Did I mention that when I got the llamas, they came with medication and shots that I had to give them for 5 days? Yup. And I did it, by myself. Haltered 'em, dosed 'em with the drench gun, and injected Toni with vitamin K (FYI: a llama's skin is very tough):

Moving on to chickens...I understand occasionally needing to deal with a nest-box sleeper, but three of them at once? Sheesh:

(giggle, giggle) Marcee and Roxy, goin' for a ride. They love the wind in their faces (and their hair):

Chopstick lessons. Everyone knows how to use them now:

An assortment of textures, as seen in the donkey pasture:

Roloff Farm isn't far from us. I did a drive-by for my out-of-towner (anyone familiar with "Little People, Big World"?):

Must be 4:00pm. Can you see them? Everyone's waiting up at the barn:

In this picture, they're trying to tell you that I never feed them:

Dolly, here, is politely urging Chester to mind his manners:

Here is Marcee's husband pushing a wheelbarrow full of llama poop. You have to love a man who does this with a smile on his face :-):

These are the random things (cordless screwdriver, electric fence tester, 2 wrenches and a packaged mouse trap) that my husband will leave on the dining room table. This sort of thing drives me NUTS:

There is so much going on in this picture, I don't know where to look first. I love a multi-purpose building, don't you?:

And then, finally, I wonder, why does Marcee always smile so nicely while I always make the goofiest faces that I later regret? If you have any insight on this, please let me know:
