Lots of Random Stuff



New life is always beautiful. 


First calf on the ground in the longhorn/Hereford herd down the road. 

It does not belong to the Hereford cow, who threatened that calf with a swing of her head just after I took this picture.  It's mama is one of the longhorn cows. 


The creeks are running full after the inch and a half rain we had this weekend. 


This is a sight that makes me SO HAPPY. 

This is Blooey the rooster and his two hens who have been 
living in the old henhouse for three weeks.  I could not get them out!

As of today, they are out and loving it.  Of course, you know I'll have to net them 
tonight. 


They were having a BLAST. 

If you look in the previous picture, you see that I have the little henyard with the little red henhouse partitioned off.  Once I see how these guys do, I'll open it up.  

I did find a gap in the fencing... I found it when I looked at the pictures I took, so I sure 
hope all three are there when I go back out this evening.  It wasn't much of a gap, but not safe for nights for sure. 


I saw these three dead horses on the way, too. 


And their one living companion.... 

Jester's ear got in the way.  

(The horses were all sleeping together, and I burst out laughing). 


The first morels are up.  People love morels. 

Keith and I like to have ONE meal with them and that's it.  So...
I'll pick a few tonight when I go out to do chores, and that's that. 


Here is a picture of a hawk taking off around the corner from us .... on a cloudy day, this is 
about as good as you get. 


Same hawk in the sunlight on Friday. 


A scene from the feeder at the old house.  Keith is 
going to make me a similar feeder here, as soon as he is feeling a 
little better.  The cardinal waited for a few minutes patiently, then 
dove into the fray and had his treat.

  3. I recently tried to get a photo of three equally "dead" horses, but they got suspicious as to why the truck slowed down and raised their heads! lol

  4. Spring does bring a lot of new life and all of it is so precious. I love to ride out in the country and see the animals on the farms but haven't done it for awhile so I do appreciate your pictures. I had quite a chuckle over the dead horses. You had me going there for a moment. I've never had morels but have heard how delicious they are. Hope you enjoy yours.
