Cowith Lilith

Our neighbors raise meat and dairy cattle. This morning they greeted me with happy cow moos.

It is spring and my other Amaryllis are blooming. I do not mark/tag them and some are cross variations and it is always a nice surprise to see what blooms. It is always nice to have flowers growing in the house. After they bloom I put them outside to let the bulbs regenerate. When winter comes they are ready to show off again indoors. So easy to grow.

 

Horses and Emu

 

A friend spotted me at a farmers market and asked if I could restore her plastic garden pony. It was from a yard sale, decked out in fringe and rhinestones and put outside in yard for years. Under the blue paint is a Wonder Horse saddle. The saddle had been plastered over and the hot glue had succumbed to UV degradation. I will be chipping off the bondo and restoring this pony with flexible resin scrolling painted in gold. Just need the rains to stop long enough to work on it outside.

 I went to an animal auction and spotted a single emu chick for sale. I wanted one but it turns out you need 2+ to keep these birds happy. The price for this chick run up to $200+. I asked my husband and he was interested but wanted an Alpaca more. We will wait on both. For now our animals numbers are fine and manageable on our farm.
