Friday Fences (con't)

















An airplane, horses, coyotes, this fence seems to have everything
you can imagine except where's Waldo.

Another Job for SuperBlogger

Please go check out The Stay @ Home-Gardener Blog .... http://thestayathomegardener.blogspot  and read the post on the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma tearing out woman's fruit and vegetable garden.  Maybe we can accomplish more since we were so fortunate to change things in Van Horn Texas.

Power of the Internet

For everyone that has been following the Donkey Roping Event to be held in Van Horn Texas .... the event has been CANCELED ...... Thanks to 7MSN Blog that brought this to everyone's attention and to all the Facebook and Blog people that signed the petition, sent emails to the Van Horn Chamber of Commerce and the Van Horn City Council this event WILL NOT be held this weekend.  I just received and email from the City Administrator.  Thanks to everyone that worked to prevent these donkeys from being subjected to cattle prods and roping and being called a sport.

Friday Fences .................. Finally

Whoppee ......... I'm Back .............. had to start all over and reload Google



This is a fence to a gated community a few miles from me.  I found this fence about 10 years ago and took pictures on film.  I took new pictures a week ago, now with a digital camera.  I need to go find the old pictures because sections of this fence have been changed.  The old picture had a figure riding a bicycle playing a saxaphone, that section is now gone.

This is what someone with a very creative mind, welding skills and old rusty junk metal can make into a fence.

I took over 45 pictures so more may show up here from time to time.

Meet C'Oso


Yesterday my daughter volunteered to drive and go with me for the 3 hour plus drive to Monterey County to pick up a new ram from Trish at Sunny Side Farms.  This is C'Oso, he is almost 4 months old, and will be spending his time with yearling ewes for lambs next year.    I am sure he will turn a lighter color as he ages as he was black when he was born.

Lambs have names ........

Clay

I only got pictures of these two boys this morning ... everyone else kept hiding behind mamas, since all last years lambs names started with a B, this year's lambs will all be named starting with  C's.

The girls will all have names from my maternal grandmother's side of the family, Clara, Clarissa and Clarinda.  The black and white, yes he is turning similar to one of the ewe lambs born last year, will be named Clark, a name pulled from my father's side of the family.

The boy in the top photo is turning brown so his name is now Clay.

Last of the Shetlands lambed today



It's a single, but it's a girl.  And, she is basically white, hard to tell by this picture,
and I know one should always have the sun behind them when they
take a picture, but sometimes subjects don't always remember that
and you take what they will stand still for.
