prairie rain




Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2006 5:02 pm

Looks like we are officially into rainy season, the puddles on the driveway and drips down my neck when I feed the rabbits attesting to it. The oak tree is bowing to it's fate, leaves weighed down with shimmering drops. The hens look quite disreputable, their feathers plastered down- they do have a place to get in out of the rain, but I need to put in fresh straw later today. The goats have no opinion whatsoever about the weather. There is no sight of them but a nose poking out the door of the goatshed, a rather forlorn sight. I stopped at the feed store yesterday to pick up a bale of grass hay and another of straw- sort of a bed-and-breakfast deal for herbivores. There was a lone, lonely Netherland Dwarf huddled in a cage there, it was so hard not to come home with it!!!
I've got to get to work painting, trying to paint up a bunch of Christmas cards and such. A more indoor task is definitely in order now that the garden is busily mulching itself.

That is the opinion goats have of rain. Susie wouldn't come out in the rain at all. She thought it would make her rusty. Dooley

I don't think I would have found it an easy job to leave without the ND either Mary - especially if it was all on its own!!!

You must let us see a sample of your hand painted Chrissie cards.

Sounds like your menagerie is great fun and needs a Netherland dwarf. Is that a bunny? You definitely need to rescue it from loneliness.
