Pretties in our Yard

May 19th, 2012

I don’t flower garden like I used to, but we do have a few pretty things to view right now.  I’m in love with the greenery in this pot and yes, indeedy, the pots are all sitting just a bit crooked…must work on that!

Internet Down and I’m Bummed

May 18th, 2012

But, thank goodness for smartphones!

I was having a good day until I got home and found out there was trouble with the tower.

Think I’ll quit fretting tonight for tomorrow is another day. I’m taking prom photos and I’m happy about that. I like taking pictures of pretty people!

Now keep your fingers crossed I can share the photos online tomorrow night.

They Hatched!

May 17th, 2012

I was afraid we had taken too many limbs below this nest and the mama bird would feel too vulnerable, obviously from this photo evidence, she did not.  All five hatched and are doing well so far, but still, STILL no sign of seeing the mother bird.  She is watching from a distance I have no doubt.  Guess I’ll have to camp on Mom’s porch to spot her.

The little kids’ donkey taken today with my phone using the Camera+ app and then Snapseed to edit.  He’s a handsome devil!

Our Pet and Egg Identification

Our Pet

Our Pet

This heifer was a bottle calf after her mom had to be put down after giving birth to her. She is obviously still a pet. It is difficult to let them go after feeding them twice daily, so she’s got a forever home with us and her herd.

My friend identified the bird eggs from yesterday’s post as Northern Mockingbird’s. I do believe I should have known that since the Mockingbird is my state bird. Thanks, Sheri!
