New Friends

It has been a few busy days around the garden.

Fence was finished.

Hay was stacked.

And the long awaited arrival of Flame!

Meet Jimmy, our new 4 month old Miniature Donkey!

Wild Saturniid Silk Moth

I hooked you with that title didn’t I!

This “thing” was making it’s way across my garden table this afternoon.

Have you ever seen anything like it?

I mean really, this “thing” is huge!

See what I mean! And look at those colors!

So I googled about this “thing”

and found out his name.

Wild Saturniid Silk Moth

Cecropia!

And then I remembered this visitor I had back in July.

The biggest, prettiest Wild Saturniid Silk Moth I have ever seen!

A girl and a horse

Once a week Lucy has been riding, and she has bonded with this horse,

Flame…

Flame is quiet and reliable–perfect for a new rider.

Working on the deal…and Rocky might come with.

He is tall, dark, and overweight.

We do not judge!

First photo taken with my “new”–hand me down phone from my husband.

This is going to be very handy!

Under consideration

Garden, chickens, horse, 1 black sheep…

This was my wish list for country living…

Garden–check

Chickens–check

Horse–getting ready!

1 black sheep–I have my reasons!

Lucy taking riding lessons!
