The most striking bird I've ever seen is a impayan pheasant. The entire bird is iridescent and photos do it no just8ve at all View attachment 1487494 View attachment 1487495

I should have new pictures on Wednesday, when they turn 3 weeks and their run is (hopefully) finished.
Here’s a couple baby pics.

One of many animal pet peeves.
I do like cats but I’m very allergic. We take in strays but they have to live outdoors only.

A future vet who’s allergic to cats.. hmm.

That's exactly what I was going to say...

Here has three million nicknames already! I think his starting to answer to "drop that!". I tend to call him either Sabi or Flatface.

Working in this heat takes really takes it out of you, huh? I’m going into hibernation mode soon.

I'm about to concede defeat and move to the North Pole. This summer is miserable and sticky.

It goes limp when she gets tired or sad... it kills me!

I call my Pom’s tail her happy meter fir just that reason!

Ooohoho boy.
There’s nothing that ticks me off faster than sweating in the heat for hours outside, and then having an unsolicited advisor come out from the air conditioned house to “show you how to do it properly.”
Always conveniently at the END OF THE JOB.

Deep breaths, walk away and count to 10...

Maybe 20....

We must get these things done!!! I've recently enjoyed building things. Currently planning and drawing out my goat barn, beginning construction late this summer in hopes of having goats this coming spring.
The greenhouse project was really fun this year and I learned a lot about proper framing and always carrying a freaking pencil. Shortcuts are bad... He's German - NO SHORTCUTS. Do it right.
This is why I'm good for the manual labor part. I can rip, dig, destroy, pull, cut, tear, level and then he can come in and tell me how I can help with the finer details.
The man just leaves me to my own devices. Brings me water and such. Reminds me that it's been five hours, blah, blah, blah.

Oh I wish I had that...
I don't think I even hold my tongue right when I'm working on something according to some people.
