Three Things Thursday

 1. Rocky Ballerina One-Dot is growing.  She is almost six weeks old and litter box trained but still can't figure out how to eat food.  I am mixing her kitten food with water and putting it in the bottle, but life would be a lot easier if she would just figure it out already!
What?  You don't want to bottle feed me forever?
2. I canned and froze 40 pounds of peaches over labor day weekend and made four pints of peach honey from the skins.  YUM!

 3.  We took the kids on a Labor Day hike around the ranch.  They found some sticks to make bull horns with.

 We went back to the pickup to have a picnic lunch and re-hydrate.
 Found some shell fossils in the rocks

 The horses were very curious about us hiking through their territory, but were not impressed with Cola.  Our  horses are used to him, but my Dad's horses are not.

  2. Does it usually take a long time for kittens to learn to eat? So strange.

    That is a freaking lot of peaches!

  3. I wonder why Rocky won't just eat by herself? Have you tried mixing the food with the milk? I did that for my puppies and they liked it.

    Those peaches sure look good but I am sure it is a lot of work. The kids look like they had a blast!

  6. When my sister and I were younger, my mom got on a canning and preserving kick. We were the unwilling fruit-pickers, peelers, choppers..etc. Left me with an unpleasant shudder every time I see jarred fruit. lol.
    Peach honey sounds amazing, though. I'd love to be able to do that!
