Benny, that's amazing stuff! I have a pomegranate near my back door, but I think it's an ornamental variety that only bloom and doesn't bear. I've never had any fruit from it, at any rate. We have a native portulaca, too: (yeah, this one is in my pasture):rolleyes:

Last time I saw substantial rain was last night (and yesterday afternoon, and yesterday morning . . . :th*splat*). August is "monsoon season" around here; we get seabreeze fronts bringing moisture in from the ocean. There have been times in years past when the rest of the state was dealing with...

Gee, Tara, if I didn't know better, I might think you were happy about those lambs.:lol: An easy birthing, a beautiful pair of lambs, and a boy showing lots of promise . . . "challenges" may build character, but there's a lot to be said for the deep pleasure of everything going right!:celebrate...

This is the other bird - as you can see, she has a lot more black. When BB2K saw her coloring, she named her Cowabunga , or Bungee for short. I'm pretty sure we have Silver in these birds; we have had Birchens and a couple of white hens with Columbian markings (one such hen I suspect may be...

I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong about this, but it is my understanding that the Bantam folks accepted the Serama a few years ago in white only. I haven't heard of any other colors being added, but that doesn't stop the fans of the tiny birds from breeding them in every color and...

Hey, Tara!:frow BB2K and I have been puzzling about this for a few weeks, and I figured if anyone I knew could tell me what's going on, it would be you. Can you tell me, what color/pattern is this chicken? (Yeah, I know, he's a mess - he was just literally in the feed pan before I pulled him...

I know what you mean about the smell. We have several citrus trees in our greenhouse; and right now it smells like Heaven in there. You'll have to let us know how the distillation works out. We have Carolina Jasmine growing everywhere around here, and I am often tempted to try that when it's...

More pointless trivia - didja know that there are hundreds of thousands of feral camels in Australia? Mostly dromedaries, but apparently there are a few Bactrian camels as well. Or that there used to be a lot of confusion about the related-ness of the South American camelids? Many years ago, I...

Meaningless trivia moment - Flipper's signature call wasn't a dolphin sound; it was a sped up recording of a kookaburra. "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Merry merry king of the Bush is he Laugh, kookaburra, laugh kookaburra Gay your life must be"

Quote: Yes, apparently it can be done; here you see a video showing the technique to some students (sorry, I'm afraid I don't speak Japanese, so I have no idea what is said) A little bit more about the video: http://www.sciencealert.com/watch-a-chick-develop-and-hatch-outside-of-the-egg

A belated but hearty congrats you all, Tara! Have your feet started to touch the ground yet, or are you still walking on air? I absolutely love this picture: This looks like a happy dog, willing and eager to please. And so gorgeous! I reckon the people who were voicing concern about the...

" Sheep? Who you callin' a sheep?" :gig

I was so tickled when I saw these guys at the fair last night - this is the first time we've had Jacobs. One of the ewes had an accident and broke a horn while getting unloaded. Poor babies, life has been rough for them lately; they had to be evacuated because of the flooding earlier this month.

But very much loved.

Ohh, here's a thought that doesn't bear thinkin' - what if all the rain I have gotten today had come in the form of snow?!

Wow! Bunches and bunches of 'taters, and lovin' all the colors. Hope you have lots of potato recipes!

Tail wagging? Tara, you might get a chuckle from this: Last year, I was getting my animals settled in at the fair when one of the Superintendent's assistants sorta sidled up to me. She said, "Bunny, you know a lot about goats, right?" "um, well, I know a few things, yeah," I said, rather...

Or maybe I should just be called "hare brained."

Can't count past 4? Don't reckon any of your kiddos have read Watership Down, have they? The rabbits couldn't count past 4 either, so they had a word, hrair, which meant any number more than 4. So you not only have hair sheep, you have hrair sheep!
