Pumpkin eating goats, flowers, bush beans, baby bluebirds update, Deer and Fires in CO, Cave of the Winds, and family
After dental impressions, we are pretty sure the goats are the culprit in eating the pumpkin leaves and taking a bite out of our pumpkin.

Corn, Gates, Red ants, fig tree and goats.
The corn from last year’s purchased kernels is growing well in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th rows. Only 3 of the remaining kernels from Simply Irresistible sprouted in the first two rows. We will most probably convert the first two rows to string beans if more corn sprouts before our bean seeds arrive. Our…

No Laughing Matter! And Baby Bluebirds have feathers (corn, pumpkins, flowers, goats and fishing.
Well, YES it IS a laughing matter or just call it Southern Engineering. That is exactly what it looks like. (You may have to enlarge the picture to see all the string.) We borrowed large poles from Jackie and Bobby and strung up the wind-blown corn with string. We only worked on the three worst…
