MAY 2 2008
IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG SINCE THE LAST BLOG. THINGS ARE VERY BUSY WITH SPRING HERE.
SOMETIMES YOU SEEM TO GO BACKWARDS. REFERENCE THE ROBINS NEST ON MY STATION WAGON'S REAR TIRE. EVERYONE SAYS I CAN'T MOVE IT UNTIL THE EGGS ARE HATCHED AND THE BABIES FLY. THATS A LONG TIME. PAT IS BACK UP FOR A WEEK...OR MORE WHICH HELPS A LOT.
PAT HAS BEEN BUSY FEEDING HER BABY CALF (I SAY THAT BECAUSE --LOOK AT THE PICTURE-- TELLS THE STORY). SOMETIMES IT'S UP AND RUNNING AND THE NEXT TIME SHE'S DOWN AND DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO WALK. PAT THINKS SHE'S KILLING HER.... NOT.
YESTERDAY, SUNDAY, WAS A GOOD DAY FOR JASMINE. SHE WAS AS NORMAL AS COULD BE.
I SURE WISH I KNEW WHAT HER PROBLEM WAS. SHE IS SO ADORABLE. SHE COMES WHEN
I CALL HER AND REALLY DOES RECOGNIZE THAT BOTTLE.
HOPEFULLY WHEN I GET HER OUT OF HER HORSE TRAILER, SHE WILL BE AS GOOD AGAIN! YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WITH HER.
THE GEESE ARE DOING WELL. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURE, THEY ARE QUITE ATTENTIVE TO THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THEIR LOCATION AND WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THEM.
WELL, GUESS WHAT, I MADE A MISTAKE, AS USUAL AND LOST THE PICTURE OF THE GEESE. MY RESIDENT COMPUTER GENIUS WILL HAVE TO COME IN AND PUT IT BACK IN. HE SURE IS GOOD...WHEN I MAKE MISTAKES. BUT, THAT'S NATURAL!!! IT LOOKS LIKE I LOST THE PICTURE OF THE EGGS, ALSO. BETTER QUIT FOR NOW SO THAT I DON'T LOSE THE PICTURE OF THE CALF. WILL RETURN LATER!!

WELL, GUESS WHAT, I'M BACK AGAIN, (PAT, THAT IS). CARL SAYS THAT WHEN I DO ANYTHING ON THE BLOG THAT I NEED TO DO IT IN ITALICS SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN HIM DOING IT. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THAT BY THE WRITING. THEY ARE QUITE DIFFERENT TO SAY THE LEAST!!
CARL IS STILL SLEEPING, I THINK, SHEP WENT BACK UPSTAIRS FOR A SHORT SNOOZE WITH HIM. JUST LIKE TWO PEAS IN A POD. I ARRIVED ON SATURDAY AROUND 4:00 AND WAS GREATLY SURPRISED...I HAD TO FEED JASMINE THE FIRST THING. SHE SURE IS A CUTE LITTLE GAL. SHE NURSES REAL WELL. I FED HER AGAIN AT 8:00 AT NIGHT. BELIEVE ME WHEN SUNDAY MORNING CAME, SHE WAS READY TO EAT AGAIN. WE LET HER OUT OF THE HORSE TRAILER AFTER SHE HAD HER NOON LUNCH TO RUN AROUND THE YARD. SHE WAS RUNNING, FALLING AROUND AND KICKING UP HER HEELS. SHE WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME. SHE IS A REAL TREAT TO WATCH. CARL DOES NOT LIKE HER NAME AS JASMINE AS HE SAYS THAT HE WILL FEEL SILLY GOING OUT IN THE FIELD AND CALLING HER TO COME TO HIM WITH A NAME LIKE THAT. I THINK IT IS CUTE. TAMMY NAMED HER. HE CAN CALL HER WHAT HE WANTS, I'M GOING TO CALL HER JASMINE. SHE WILL COME TO MORE THAN ONE NAME. HE IS GOING TO KEEP HER AND PUT HER IN THE HERD. AT LEAST WE MAY HAVE ONE COW (WHEN SHE GROWS UP) THAT WILL NOT BE WILD AND RUN WHEN YOU COME UP TO HER. I SURE HOPE SO.
WALKED OUT TO SEE THE DUCKS ON THE POND. I GUESS MAMA DUCK WAS SITTING ON HER EGGS. I DIDN'T GET TOO CLOSE AS I DID NOT WANT TO DISTURB HER. WHEN TRYING TO WALK THROUGH THE COWS WITH THE NEW CALVES, THEY GOT REAL UPSET WHEN THEY SEEN THAT BOOTS WAS THERE. THEY TRIED TO TRAMPLE HIM AND DID A LITTLE BIT. POOR BOOTS WITH HIS LAMP SHADE ON HIS HEAD TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. CARL HAD HIM ON A LEASH. I TURNED AND RAN BACK A LITTLE OUT OF THE WAY. (COWARD) BETTER THAN GETTING TRAMPLED. FINALLY I GOT IN FRONT OF CARL AND SHOOED THEM OUT OF THE WAY. BIG BRAVE ME!!!
WE HAD RAIN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, SNOW ON THE CARS AROUND 12:30 ON MONDAY MORNING WHEN I LET BOOTS OUT TO GO POTTY. HE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING IN THE HOUSE.
IT IS NOW MONDAY MORNING AROUND 6:45 AND OUR RESIDENT SQUIRREL IS SITTING ON THE BIRD FEEDER GETTING HIS BREAKFAST. HE SURE IS A PEST. PRETTY SOON YOU WILL HEAR HIM RUNNING AROUND IN THE ATTIC. WHEN I FIRST CAME UP, I LOOKED IN THE SILVERWARE DRAWER AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND. MR. RESIDENT SQUIRREL HAD GOTTEN INTO THE HOUSE SOMEHOW AND HAD CARRIED CARL'S CHOCOLATE STARS FROM THE COUNTER TOP ON THE STOVE INTO THE BACK OF THE DRAWER. HE HAD QUITE A STASH! HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW HE GETS IN THE HOUSE BUT HE'S A GOOD HOUDINI. WOULD GIVE A MAGICIAN A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY!
LORD, IT'S 7:13 BY THE COMPUTER CLOCK AND BOTH CARL AND SHEP ARE FAST ASLEEP. I NEED TO GO UPSTAIRS AND GET DRESSED SO THAT I CAN GO FEED MY LITTLE CALF, JASMINE, AS SHE WILL BE PRETTY HUNGRY BY NOW.
