Goldfinches & Tamaracks
The goldfinches have been eating the cones off the tamarack trees like crazy! They must be yummy? All a matter of personal taste, I guess. I thought they looked so pretty with their bright color contrasting with the dark green spills of the tree & the dark brown, almost red cones.

Bluebird
We have a bluebird that has nested in one of our apple trees! Yesterday evening we watched him chase off a woodpecker who made the mistake of landing on 'his' tree. It was so funny! I'm so thrilled because we've never had one here before...he's a friendly little fellow, but it's been really hard to get a picture of him!

Lily in Training
My Paint mare, Lily, is currently in training with a friend of mine. The other day I drove over to her farm during my lunch break to get some pictures...doesn't she look like she's having fun?

Jimmy's Eye
You can see what a quiet old pony he is...we will miss him. Wednesday evening we took him to his new home. He was very happy to see that he has 2 mares for company! He pranced all around to show them what a pretty boy he is & they were duly impressed. Thanks for all the great rides, Jim!! You'll enjoy your retirement...

Black Giant Chick
This is our very favorite chick! In a lifetime of raising chickens, I have never seen one that is quite so inquisitive. As soon as you go out to the pen, she comes running right up to you and looks up at you, as if to say, "Hey there! What's up?" She loves to listen to us talking to her & seems to enjoy being picked up. It's always interesting to see how they change as they grow up, but I'm really wondering about this one...

Scrappy
Of all the chickens that I have raised over the years, Bantam Sumatras are my very favorite! The roosters' feathers are so magnificent, especially on a sunny day, glistening with iridescence, against a nice grassy lawn...just gorgeous. Scrappy has been a member of my flock for almost 10 years now & he still rules the roost!

It's Rusty!
You would think he was a rock star if you could see how the kids react when they see him! He's definitely their favorite...& he just loves them right back. Unconditionally. That's the best thing about pets!
