Hey all, here is my real post.
Nature Boy isn’t quite done with his post for this week, so you are stuck with me. 😉
Sunday morning dh and oldest found a dead possum on the road. On their way home, they stopped to see if it had babies. Well, it did and this one was still alive…for a little while anyway. They brought it home and I attempted to be a mommy possum, but it didn’t go too well. We figure it’s real momma had been dead at least 12-15 hours, so the chances of me actually being able to save it were very slim.
Philip also found a rather large fence lizard. Sorry, the picture is blurry, but if you compare it to the other one, you can see how large it is.
Here is a burrowing owl. It is a small owl only growing to a mere 8-10 inches long as an adult. They nest in burrows that normally slope down for about three feet then go out horizontally to a nesting area ten feet or more from the opening. They line their burrow and nest with feathers, grass and dried mammal dung. They even use the remains of their prey. They eat insects, reptiles, and rodents. Hunting during the day or evenings. Their habitat are prairies, plains deserts and other open spaces. This one was found in our alfalfa field near our home.

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
