Animal and Plant Update

We grew concerned that the geese were not getting enough food, spending most of their days in the pen where they didn't seem particularly interested in foraging and competing with the ducks for oats in the evening. So they now spend their days in their own pen, which we move every day. They have lots of delicious things to eat and already seem larger and healthier. Success! and happy geese.

Lady says, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."

Mick had given the rabbits some munchies, and they sat together in their shelter enjoying the treat.


Happy rabbits!

Roscoe found the most awkward position I could imagine.

"Come here," said the spider to the ant.

Roscoe (again), this time in the one patch of shade he could find. Thank goodness for utility poles!

Watermelon puree is really pink! It made for delicious and refreshing drinks during a relatively nasty heat wave.

We planted two rose plants this year. Roscoe ate one before it even got started, but the other has grown beautifully!

We wouldn't call it "Almost Black," as advertised, but the flowers are a beautiful color.

I also admired the beautiful curl to the petals as the roses opened.

I hope the driveway will be lined with a significant amount of roses someday!

These clouds rolling in from the north signaled the end of our lovely visit with Steve and Nancy.

To be more specific, the downpour accompanying these clouds signaled the end of our visit.


The sky tonight was beautiful too.




Cheers!
