Fly little birdie, fly!

Every now and then, when I’m out and about, I come across a bird that’s lying on ground, stunned, having hit a window. I quickly snatch it into my hands so a preying cat doesn’t pounce on it. Then I hold it until it’s ready to fly again. Only once, did one of my birds …

    I love your photos of the Pygmy Nuthatch! We have a huge tribe of them living in a large concrete birdhouse in one of our enormous pine trees. They always have a LOT to say, and are very busy and self assured! I’m so glad you rescued this one and gave it a chance at life! Well done!

Intrepid Glampers

This is the last weekend for our Bed & Breakfast. We had four guests. Alyson Oüten and her sis, Kara, shared a tent. They cooked over the campfire, ate our homemade s’mores, drank wine, and took turns soaking in one of our outdoor bathtubs.

I woke up early this morning to feed my animals and noticed that my pregnant Jersey cow, Maizy, was missing. It was just getting light, so I grabbed my binoculars and scanned the nearby fields (covered in wheat stubble from the recent harvest).

    Well even a pregnant cow has a craving for chocolate!

  2. CJ says:

    Poor Maizy! What a funny story!

  3. Teresa says:

    Maybe she heard there was “milk” in chocolate and wanted to see how it tasted. 🙂 Cute story, very pretty cow!

  4. Eileen Widman says:

    Wonderful! just Wonderful. Now my morning is full of humor and an odd desire to build a camp fire and roast marshmallows smack them hot onto a chocolate bar between two graham crackers!!! That is the breakfast of champions!
    I love this story. I can’t say I have ever had to drape a cow in an orange scarf but I can see you running full tilt out to rescue her. Have a wonderful day.
    BTW, I made the Asian pear chicken salad for dinner last night. I think it needs a little sweet hot sauce and a touch of organic Shoyu.
