Around the Farm

Funny how NO ONE imagined I would end up on a FARM, especially ME!!!  I think I have adapted rather well though.  I have herded runaway yaks ... put the truck into 4WD *yippeeeeeeeee* ... fed and watered goats and yaks in deep winter ... even managed to stifle a scream when a milksnake ventured into my home. 

Above is a collage of life at the farm.  Cat in the Hat ... right in MY house!  A pile of cat nappers; lone albino weed; FIRST zucchini; robin moth (see my earlier entry); swallow nest with 4 young`uns; FIRST and ONLY guinea hen egg; apples galore; tigerlily and wild daisies.

Empty Nest.

Empty nest.  You think that's just a bored persons variation of "emptiness" with a "T" at the end?  Empty nest would suggest that we are all birds.  That's fine with me, since I am a Redbird.  I'm not so sure how that affects others though.  Oh wait a minute, then there's Rat's Nest, perhaps this is where everyone else fits in?   My children have grown and gone.  Grown up and gone away.  I still have extra beds though.  One for each child if necessary.  You know, if a visit is in order. 
       
 The little Precious One would have her pick of beds if she wants to spend the weekend, or summer with Grammy and Papa.  There is to be a new arrival late this summer.  We're expecting another grandchild.  I suppose this is ONE way to re-fill the NEST!  No complaints from me.
