Guess What it is????????????







Can anyone guess what is in this?? The other morning Greg said I finally caught one!!!
 When he told me what it was I said "Yeah Sure you did" But he did. It was a hummingbird!!
I'd like so to tell you Greg is as fast as a hummingbird and as sly as a fox but that's not the case:) The little thing was drinking out of the feeder and all of a sudden fell to the deck and Greg grabbed it and brought it in the house. When I came out of the bedroom it had woke up and was flapping around so I took it out to the deck and slid the lid over away he went.



I don't know if this is him. They kind of look like little old men to me. Kindof  needs their hair combed and alittle rough around the edges!! Oh I guess that's my look most days too:)



 The one and only this year. We were sorting them the day the truck was coming to get them and Greg noticed that she was close to calving. she is our only cow now!! She did have her calf about a week later. We have a few yearling left to keep this guy or gal and his mom company.
 They are so cute wish they were tame.

 Her bugged evil eye lets you know to back the heck off of my baby!
 He was posing so nice I had to take a picture of him.

 cool clear water...............
 Almost done fall calving just a couple left.
 Me, Suzie and Farley
 These guys were around yesterday one landed on the screen of the office window. There were four of them.
 The underneath of their wings are yellow.
I better get that water freshened up.......................JMF

Anyone for apple pie?????

 Apple picking time!! My tree is wedged in between lilac bushes,and maple trees so there are more apples on the west side than the other sides of the tree.I guess then I don't have to worry about having so many apples to deal with:)
 First up apple pie bars. My crust was a mess to roll out but it tasted good.
 A little icing and it's done.
 Just enough apples and crust left to make a little pie in the cast iron skillet, crumb topping and alittle frosting never hurt.
 Clean up in isle 3...............please I make such a mess when I bake.
 A call for help and parts. Greg needed some guards and cutter deals (I know that's not what they are called but can't think of the real name:)) Anyhoo away I went with camera in hand. He was cutting some of the calving pasture for hay.
 It looks like the grass I paid for last fall!! The grass I bought is called Indian grass but he thought this was blue gamma.
 Warm in the winter and shady in the summer! That's my shadow I said I'll stand and be your shade LOL he said it helped! He's the warm one in the winter tho my feet are always cold.
 On the way home I made a little detour to take a few pictures.

 Now I am sneaking through the corn to take some pictures of these..................
 The geese were up on the hill eating alfalfa.

 I had taken  afew pictures and my camera battery was getting low so I whistled and that perked them up.
 More coming to see what's up!
 I was getting hot and bothered in the tall corn so out I came and there they went.
See ya later.
2 hummingbirds were flying around  trying to get to the feeder and not wanting to share. I finally got one in mid flight................JMF
