A Saturday Snippet

I haven’t talked about it.  I wasn’t sure what to say, but the Little dog is very sick.  All we know for sure is that his kidneys are not doing their job.

Lots of tests, lots of pampering, LOTS of extra trips outside to “GO.”

When I know what is going on, then you will too.  In the meantime, Buddy keeps us entertained…

Are you jealous of the Little dog, Buddy?

I think so!

Hm, perhaps we’ll need to get him one of these in his size? 

 

Oh dear. ‘-)

In all the excitement of shopping for a new Farmlet,

having special visitors,

and finding a new Farmlet,

It would seem some things were forgotten about.

Please click 1st photo…

What’s this? Potatoes ordered in winter have been completely forgotten!

Carefully, I clipped the new growth from its prison of red, plastic netting.

As you see, they are pitifully wrinkled, but have not begun to rot.

Should I:

a)  Cut them like I normally would?

b) Simply bury them whole into the soil?

OR

c) Give them a toss and try again next year!

 

Fun while it lasted!

This morning, for an hour, it snowed with abandon…

(Please click the first photo to view in a carousel)

Throwing clumps the size of tennis balls down to earth…

where they plopped and left patches on the ground.

The chickens didn’t appreciate it so much, as they ran for cover. Did I just hear one of the red hens saying, “The sky is falling” ?

And this little bird didn’t seem to care for it either.

However the geese didn’t seem to mind one way or the other! Snow collected on their backs as they continued to graze.

By the way, Frellnick and Polly are now inseparable, and doesn’t Frellnick look  proud?  I guess their little honeymoon in the back yard did the trick… 

He doesn’t take any guff off of Georgie now!
