HOw To TURTLE HAS A NAME

OK, enough of the bad/creepy news, here's some good news!

 Those who have been around the blog for awhile know that we have a fondness for naming trees.  Click HERE to see about when we named this tree at the corner of the driveway.  It's a mesquite, as a lot of our trees are, that has a graceful curve like a dancer.  We named her "Ginger".

 Flash forward to the other day when I saw our TURTLE visitor again!  He was heading back to this area around the tree.  It's also very near where I first saw him so we're thinking this cool, shady spot is his permanent home.


Since all signs point to the turtle being a male, and he's hanging around "Ginger" the mesquite tree...it only seemed natural...


FRED AND GINGER, together again!

Since he seems happy in his spot, we'll leave him alone and hope he stays a long time.  There are certainly not many dangers at the farm, at least that we know of, that could put him in danger.  He's far, far away from the road so that's good.  Heck, I wonder if we could put some water out for him?  Some turtle treats?  Throw a head of lettuce into the bushes?  Ha. 

Do you have any sort of animal that has been hanging around your place for a long time?

HOw To HORTON HEARS A WHO FLOWERS IN BLOOM

Image
For some reason, these don't always appear at the farm each Spring.  Because of that, we love that somehow they are rarer than the other things popping up on a regular basis.   Dr. Seuss flower? Sure enough, last weekend, they were in a few patches around the farm.  The first time we ever saw one, the FIRST thing we both said was... HORTON HEARS A WHO!!!!!!! The iconic Dr. Seuss character who finds a whole world living on a speck on an awesome looking pink and yellow flower.  Horton Hears a Who flower The only thing missing on ours are the striped stems, ha.  They are SO pretty and so unusual, even if it is "just a weed", we love having them around.   I thought about cutting some to put in a small vase and see how long they last...and maybe we'll just have to start listening a little closer to them. Hmm, just thought about it, maybe I should try to press some in my flower press?
