Coffee And Gossip By Marsha & Molly 05/09/2022 |
05/16/2022 A nice visit from former co-workers, but more then that they're friends! Years ago I was going to give up one of the mini's who wouldn't listen. This great person came into my office and asked if she could train Quincy to listen would I keep him. He listened to her! And he is still here at the ranch.
05/09/2022 - Must not have been road kill on our road. I had 5
vultures at the feeder. THEN, the sun came out nice and warm and
this one decided that after he ate he'd warm up for about a half hour!
05/02/2022 - I filled the food bowl with dog food for our Ravens and the
ranch coyote comes running down from the pasture. I wasn't sure if it
was the right coyote running toward me - SO I jumped in my truck! Yes,
it was the ranch coyote. He limps and he comes down when he's
starving - hangs around eating dog food for a few days and then off he goes to
wherever, until he shows up starving.
04/25/2022 - All I could think of when I looked toward the cattle ranch
across the road was, "Strive to be different!"
04/18/2022 - I thought Dinky suffocated - I ran up to him to save him. He gave me a look, "Hi Gramma, I was having breakfast." He didn't even take his little paw out of the bag! Then he just went back into the bag to eat. I am supposed to be alpha! My animals just ignore that fact.
04/11/2022 - Yesterday I heard Don yell to me from the kitchen, "Why do you have a Turkey on your car roof?" I wanted to answer, "Honda gives you a free pet turkey with every Pilot, and he was just delivered!" HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHY THERE IS A TURKEY ON THE ROOF! (Sorry for yelling using an upper case)
04/04/2022 - Why do you need to tie the shoelaces on your work boots? I
go out to my truck to feed the "wild" critters. Put my hand in the bin,
see something move, think SNAKE, jump back, trip on a shoelace, land on
my butt! Don runs out with his snake-shot pistol. A) He can't shoot into
a bin in my darn truck! B) it turns out it wasn't a snake in the bin C)
HOW is it my fault it was only a mouse? A cute little mouse - Don put on
gloves, picked it up, and moved it to the garden at the other end of the
property.
03/28/2022 - I have been corrected that I don't have feral animals on my
property but wild animals. I don't see them as "wild" since they are
very orderly? ANYWAY, I guess we will call them ranch residents. They
were all born on the property.
SO here is the ranch resident Raven - Now, every morning, he eats the
leftover dinner chicken - This morning, I didn't put out the chicken,
but he was eating. I quietly asked our Raven, "Why are you eating a
squirrel?"
His caw-back question was, "Why do you drink coffee?" Okay, that ended
the discussion.
I cleaned stalls, and Caw-Caw continued to be gross and eat. He did
swear it was dead in the road and not one of the ranch residence
squirrels.
03/21/2022 - It was dentist week for the horses!Yes, that is our miniature horse getting sharp points filed. Yes, he is sedated.
-
03/14/2022 - Yes, we have a new spin-out past the house in the
morning.
Accidents are now getting to be a regular occurrence on our curve. The
only thing that changes is the color of the car and the make of the
vehicle! Spin red car spin! Tire blew out - nice guy - just hit that
HUGE bump speeding on went all over the road! Video it is a MOV file
Video
LAST ACCIDENT - white car! spin white car spin!

03/07/2022 I feed him under the fence by his squirrel entrance -
these are ground squirrels. Anyway, hoping he is safe from hawks,
the bobcat, coyotes, AND the owl. I do lecture the predators on
the ranch to leave the little squirrel alone!
02/28/2022 - Quincy and Rheanon running and jumping - Quincy loves to
jump over things so it was a nice day. I hate to jump over
things,it makes my coffee slosh in the cup. It is great that
Rheanon runs with him.
02/21/2021 - Our old man Shane sleeps most of the days now - he will be
30 in April. BUT still loves to eat and walk around slowly so all
is good.
02/14/2022 Night vision camera - Yes, that is our owl that now sits on
the roof - it was totally dark when I took the picture and I'm not used
to my new night vision camera to get clear pictures, BUT it is the owl.
02/07/2022 Nicole and Kensington:
Mom, miniature horse, Kensington time.
12/27/20 - We will end Xmas with telling people don't speed past my
house. YEP, this one rolled over 7 times past my house and ended
up in the neighbors field. NO one got hurt - I would not
post a video if there was serious injury. Video is stopped at the
beginning for a few seconds, or it goes by to quickly!!

12/13/2021 - Well, sitting having coffee and I hear this loud crash!
Heard it before so knew someone was speeding down the country road AND
missed and went through our fence - 3rd time someone crashed into our
yard, this year! Landed upside down! Driver
crawled out and was okay! Now that car is made safe - roof didn't
crush, seatbelts and airbag saved his life. Video off our camera
is an MP4 video -and large file - it takes a few seconds to fly by the
second camera
