Friendly Greetings and Welcome to my latest adventure...a New Blog. Yes the Hiccup Online would be me. :0)

     I am a Blue-Jeaned Photographer, a Professional Scribbler, Wordworker, Doodler, and all around Dabbler. I also write "novels" for e-mails I have been told, and love writing and reading details for the imagination. I love to stargaze and daydream. I am also known to trip over my own feet quite regularily, otherwise known as a clutz extraordinaire.

     I am Lisa Marie Ford, the author of "the Critters That Call the Farm Home" Book Series; poetry and photography books for kids of all ages (seriously, I sell equal amounts of books for kids as I do for bigger kids, aka grownups). There are four, thus far: The Bunny Dance, A Spring Dance, The Deer, and Candy the Colt.

     Pic By Lis, the Down on the Farm Studio, is my photography and design business; featuring bookmarks, postcards, cards, posters, and calendars all 100% original in photography, poetry, and design as well as Made in the USA. My books are also available in the online store at PicsByLis.com known as the Critter Express Online Store as well as some artwork prints.

     I live and work on my family's dairy farm amongst some of nature's silliest curiousities; including my Sheltie Collie, Bagpipes; my American Quarter Horse, Cecil; two Pygmy Goats, Hornipes, and Mussette: a dozen "Peeps" (chickens); a baker's dozen of calves, some of which are named things like Baby Buttons and Bellows; and a "Fleet" of Muscovey Ducks led by Port, Starboard, and Sir Francis the Drake. And if you think all this sounds silly...you ought to live here with all of them. :0)

     Hope you enjoy this blog and all the stories. As somebody once told me, Happy Hiccupping!
