- Baaaaa, Baa Brown Lamb...why's Your Wool So Wet?
A day of showers ushered in a cold front yesterday.Almost 3 inches of rain fell on the farm...giving me a day to catch up on errands. Luckily, the clouds held the bulk of their moisture during the hours that choresneeded to be done.Sometimes Mother Nature...

What's Growing On
Leo update....
I am so worried again about Leo.
After looking better for a few days,
he has taken a turn for the worse.
He is coughing, and sneezing and has stopped eating again...
is rapidly losing weight and has a hard nodule on his neck.
I am taking him to the animal hospital this morning...
more later.
Just a few pictures from around the garden...
everything is ripening...
tomatoes...
hot peppers...
sweet peppers...
turnips...
corn...
What a good place for a house....
with fruit right outside your front door!
Do bluebirds like grapes?
This year's zinnias are a wonderful variety...
adding a little whimsy tucked in amongst the vegetables.
And speaking of growing....
do you remember that little nest of three eggs in the blueberry bush?
And then 2 of the hatched and I showed you the picture of their tiny naked bodies...
Well, here they are this past weekend...
And here they are today!
Amazing how fast they grow and develop into mature looking birds!
And still a single un-hatched egg remains.
It won't be long until these two leave the nest and join the ranks of birds at our feeders.
And last, but never least...
a quick hello from....
guess who????
Yep, you are right....that bald beauty... MaryAnn!
And look what is growing in all over her back!
She has about an eighth of an inch of new growth all over her!
Yay!!!
She won't be bald for winter!
