Before winding up, we take one more look at Maddie's
monumental roll from last month.

Around The Farm ~
Yesterday, Laurie began mowing her big five-acre pasture. Regular
cutting , she said, keeps the weeds down.




Yesterday afternoon Shadow let loose a bark barrage
at a squirrel in a tree.




(Never did see the squirrel . . .)

Mid-afternoon KC spread out on his windowsill and
took a look around.

Last evening we saw moonrise after sunset.


Following last night's thunderstorms, sunshine returned this morning.

It's been a good day since.
A Female (at left) and Male House Finch perched for a bit.

Turns out, there's a Goldflame Honeysuckle vine growing in the yard.
(according to google images, that is.)

I spied a Killdeer this morning. In its scientific name, Charadrius vociferus,
"vociferus" means "shouting" or "crying out", which it certainly does.

Laurie, late today, finished her big pasture.



While Maddie-Pete grazed on blissfully.

Thank you George. Great as always. Have you ever run over a bees nest with the mower? It really pisses them off. twodogsbarking Saturday #8
Laurie's the mower. I asked, she said no. I'll bet it upsets 'em! You ever run one over? George McGovern Saturday #16
More than once. They got up my pant legs once and were stinging. Took pants off at olympic speed. twodogsbarking Saturday #19
