This doesn't count. So since I'm explaining a blog I didn't post and pictures I'm not showing, this is our garage/house thing--it's going to double as a house for a while. I'm so excited.

 And this is my family. I'm so proud of them. We went ziplining in Gatlinburg and mum went wild with the camera.

 These are my turkeys. I raised them from tiny little fiends to large fiends. The male has never liked to be touched--he puffs up and drags his feathers to show his disapproval. But the Ladybird loves being petted, and she makes this little purling noise deep in her chest. I thought the male was going to attack me here.

 These are mah 'wee duckies! They're neurotic but finally have gotten over their fear of water.

 And this is Coco. She's the sweetest, smartest, best dog in the universe. She's getting old and arthritic, but she still jumps up on the golf cart seat whenever it's time to go anywhere. She sits up very straight and looks over and laughs at whoever is driving, and she lays down in every puddle and jumps in every pond she sees. And she closes her teeth over your arm very gently when she wants you to stay and sit beside her. And she never drools or is nasty. I want her to live through another winter.

I'm kind of  homesick. And I wanted to share what I miss so much. And I figure pictures isn't cheating on my no-blogging policy, which I'm starting to think was stupid. Because I shouldn't be holding myself to other people's standards. And besides, I'm too opinionated to be quiet. See?

But this still doesn't count.
