I Love Redheads

We have 2 roosters
Bruiser and Cruiser
Cruiser is the boss.
We also have Bourbon RED Turkey's.



Tulip and her daughter, Cassie.
The tongue from the left
is also from one of her daughters, MariGold.


Cali and Ginger are not bred yet,
will wait until February, for the Fall Fairs.
Was trying to breed Rhubi to Merlot
but she hasn't appeared to come in heat.

Not related, I love redheads.



2 of Tulip's dughters, littermate sisters, Holly and Pansy.

Christmas Day

Mike's oldest sister, Sherry, lovin' on BJ.

Sherry lovin' on JackBadger.

Mike's cousin, Brandon Aldridge,
lives in NEW YORK CITY,
is a dress designer for Betsy Johnson.
Although I beg Brandon to be on
Project Runway,
he says it's a career killer.

This aerial shot of property
was taken in the mid 80's.
The inlaws live near the road, and Mike and I
live up at the red barn,

Back in those days, the barn housed horses.
Mike and Tina rode in Shows.

Tina on MyMy

Mike on Big Shadow.

Mike and I used to ride Apache and Comanche
all over the Blue Ridge Parkway.
