BOO!

Happy Halloween.

Hanging Around After Planting

Yesterday after sowing the seed, I took a few pictures of the dogs.
Close-up Chili.
Oscar was looking for lizards or frogs or anything. I kept wondering where Skylar was. I'd call her, take another picture, call again. Then I looked up
toward the house; there she was, inside, wanting out. I also see an empty Red Bull can on the rail; Michael left.

Now she gets to play.

Planting Rye Grass

This is me getting ready to plant rye grass seed. I plant the rye grass so the horses will have something to graze on during the winter. And since I'm thinking it is going to be colder that usual, I need grass and hay. They like both anyway.

The good part is it is going to rain tomorrow. The bad part is it is going to be heavy rain.

This is some rye grass just coming up from last years crop; I think. There are a few bare spots in the pasture and this looks like the rye grass.

A couple of hours later, my chickens are out in the pasture having a "field day". They found a heavy batch of seed.
They might as well have it as it running off down in the creek. I just heard on the weather that we are expecting four to seven inches.

Would You Believe Rain

Poppet and Suki were trying to get out of the rain under the pine tree to the right. Then it seemed like they just said, "oh well", and started grazing. That tree really isn't big enough to shelter.

Addie Cat is on a old blanket on the front porch. It is an old electric blanket I was going to throw away and decided Addie Cat could use it. She likes it. She is down for a nice little nap while it rains.

Two of the chickens decided they would just forage in the rain. Most of them have been in the rain, because it has been a real light rain since about noon yesterday. It is just started raining harder and the others thought they would just forgo for a while.


Poor Skylar looking out; wondering when it will stop raining. It is suppose to stop this afternoon and be pretty tomorrow. Then Thursday and Friday, more rain. Looks like we are going to be getting rain, so we will just have to adjust.

Evening

It's evening and about time to wrap it up. But one last time through the pasture to see if they can stir up another bug or two.

Sun is just about down. Nice little lazy time of the day.

Poppet has decided she is pretty tired too. So she will just lay down for her a quick nap.

About thirty minutes later, I looked out and saw Suki was down for her rest time also. They laid down for only about thirty minutes or so; then they went strolling off toward the barn.

Ginger Lily and Lantana

My first ginger lily this year. They all should be coming on out soon. I also still have some lantana blooming. With all the rain we have gotten these last two months; everything should be doing well. Or drowned.

Bees

These are pictures I took Tuesday, while there was Sunshine. Honey bees and bumble bees. It has rained ALL day long. We had almost three and a half inches. Hopefully, sunshine tomorrow.
