Almost a year since I blogged. Not sure why I feel off the blog beaten path...but it happened. Now to smarten up and get back to blogging. Life is still a whirlwind here! Between animals and animals and more animals...did I mention animals...we are forever on the run. Whether it be exercising dogs, feeding the cat, or serving our beloved horses. We are seriously animal crazy. That's crazy with a capital C!
But to add to our fetish we now have included 2 pheasant hens and 8 pigeons. Of course the hens won't lay a single egg - they feel the need to only be consumption animals and not producers. They are noisy, smelly, and have the ugliest feet. Scabby looking feet that are in dire need of a pedicure. Alas their names....Casserole and Kebob. They were laying eggs but have gone on strike. Maybe it's a lock out not an actual strike...stay tuned it might be longer than we think.
The pigeons, well they have no names. They are for training the dogs. They are caught, brought home and feed a diet that is worth of being in a Vegas buffet. Then they are taken out to the field and released to teach the dogs to "whoa" for hunting. Quite the life they have. Stolen from their shanty to the life of a king. And then to only be released to return to the shanty. I am surprised they aren't flocking back here!
The garden is planted and growing very well this year. The cooler weather has not set it back to badly. The heat inbetween the cooler days has allowed the plants to get a good start. Raspberries are soon to make an entrance! Nothing better than a freshly picked raspberry on a hot summer day! As soon as they are ready there will be raspberry everything on the menu.
Come back soon...
