Finally Tassels has given up on being broody:

But she may still be drawn to the nest in the middle of the night.

Thank you!

Gosh I miss my snakes. We have wild ones out here, I hope to see some soon.

Do you notice the mosquitoes are particularly bad this year?

I noticed.

 

[LhickenChicken]

Do not blame the kids for the name Juice. My mother named Dirt. Rosie and my dad were thinking along the lines of Dusty. Nope, everyone and their parents had a horse named Dusty. Have you ever heard of a horse named Dirt? No, well now you have. I was not a fan at first, but it grew on me.

I can't imagine naming my horse Dirt (if I'd ever get one). But it is a funny name.

 

[LhickenChicken]

I noticed.

Not here apparently. I only got a few mosquito bites earlier in the season. But the dragonflies have been doing their job it seems, at least here.

We need more. I had five mosquitoes on me at once.

They also wanted to ruin the Rio Bosque park here with a freeway. Instead of having a nice big wildlife center with (I think) a river or something like that why not put a freeway? Good thing the backlash was big enough to get the idea scrapped.

Dragonflies have an appetite for mosquitoes ? I never thought of that.

Ohhh, @RoyalChick you should enter your female visitor

That's the competition for captions not to submit photos - but I may submit her elsewhere.
I haven't seen her since coming home which makes me a bit sad.
