May Snow

I got up this morning and looked at my magnolia tree.  It’s just barely opening.  Finally.  With the rain already coming down, I opened the window to take a picture before the rain and wind destroyed its flowers.

I also found a poor wet little blue jay.

Bob, of course had to test out the open (screenless) window.

He wasn’t happy with the rain coming down.  It wasn’t long before he came back inside.

Then he got to watch the birds and SNOW through the window.

Get that snow, Bob.   Chase it away!  We’re not supposed to have snow in May.

But snow we have.

That poor robin outside the yard fence was not happy!

And it keeps coming down.

It’s just wrong.

I have lots of unhappy birds looking for food, but I didn’t know we were going to get this much.

Snowy skies and snowy fences.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This week Ashley gave us the following scavenger hunt items:  water, empty, fresh, weathered, and ordinary.

The pet taxi was empty.  Really.  I took one of Coffee’s kids to the vet for an eye clip. When I got home, I took him out and left it sitting there with nothing in it.  Bob seems to find it comfortable.

I am also trying to leave my pasture empty as long as I can.  I want it to get a good start growing before I put the animals out there.  This pair, however, seems to be enjoying it.

Probably because there is actually some water back there right now.

It’s an ordinary thing around here to see kids playing and lounging around and having mini-photo shoots.  Really, there are lots of unusual things that are ordinary here.

To those who celebrate,

I had some lovely fresh flowers for our freshly born kids to sniff.

They were largely unimpressed.  Victoria and Coral liked them a bit better.

Just a Few Pictures of the Animals

I remember a few days ago when the weather was warm and the sun was shining.  The animals were enjoying it!

The antibiotics helped Djali’s tooth.  He’s back to his normal cranky self.  Just the way we love him!

Djali

Today we have winter weather: snow, wind, and miserable!  I did take pity on the birds and feed them again.  There are still a lot of cardinals hanging around.

I almost caught that one before he flew away.

I also realized last night that we are really close to kidding!

Bambi

Bambi is our first one due!
