HOw To A FROG, A COW AND WASPS, OH MY

Typical of life in the country?
I thought I'd share a few random photos of the last few days adventures.
Little frog
I was mowing on the big green zen machine and saw movement in the grass.  It was this little frog.  Seeing as how they are a good thing to have around, I couldn't run over him. I got off the mower, then spent 10 minutes herding him into a safe area.  Have you ever tried frog herding?  It should be an Olympic sport!  Thank goodness there was no one around to see my herding dance.
The frog was saved to live another day.
Loose cow
No, not THAT kind of loose, the "just escaped from her pasture" kind of loose!
I was on my way to the farm the other day, and I drove by this cow and thought cool, a cow....and then realized, wait a second, she's on the SIDE OF THE ROAD outside of her fence.  So I put it in reverse, snapped her photo (so she can be famous on the blog of course, LOL) and then drove to the house nearest her.  They knew who she belonged to and as I left, they were off to get her back home.  It's very dangerous on a dark road at night, so I'm glad I was able to help her get safely back home.
The cow was saved to live another day.
Wasp nest!
OK, funny story on this.  This is just above the mudroom door on the porch ceiling.  I must have gone in and out of the door a dozen times that day.  Slamming the screen door, putting stuff on the porch, opening and closing the door, etc.  Never gave it a second thought.  Then I happened to glance up and saw this.  New in just a week!  Of course then I ducked every time I went in and out and ran in and out as quickly as possible (boy aren't we brave when we don't know what's just a couple feet above our heads?).  I bought some wasp spray and I took care of them.  No saving, no rescuing, I killed them.  All of them.
None of the wasps lived to see another day.

And I was happy.  :-)

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?
