Those are what my Dad and his family always called "Cowcumber" but I think it is also called Native Magnolia or Wild Magnolia. I LOVE those and they get hugh! Is that lake visable from your home?

Well, yes and no. We are somewhat hidden because of the leaves on the trees. We call them cowcumbers, too.

someone asked for updated emu pics.. here's Paco posing for a quick pic when I was out feeding the critters this evening



hard to believe he's still a "baby" at just shy of 6 months old

Bunnylady, thanks. I like the photos, especially the one with the ducks

. Speaking of magnolias, we have a type in our yard that only grows near water, or at least that's what I've heard. They have huge leaves and flowers.




Arielle,

I sometimes use a snow photo as my computer wallpaper in the summertime. Here's a spring shot for you:

Lovely, just lovely!

XOXO How big is he??

He looks big, if that hose on ground is any indication. I'll parrot SCG, How big is he?

I would like to see more pics of your emu baby, maybe a full body shot with something close by for reference?

Here is a pic of a tote that Stumpy made. I got it as part of a trade that she and I made a while back. Isn't it great?! I just love it!

That is an awesome bag! I love it. I wish I knew how to sew. That's gotta be soon for me!

Nutrena always has a beautiful pen and ink style drawings on their feed bags; the orange is very cheery!
