07/06/2020 - Great, now I get to worry about baby bocats.   They are next to our house in a large garden area - They play, Mom stalks, they all catch things.  I am beginning to feel like one big dysfunctional feral family.  Not the best focused pictures but I stay on my side - they stay on theirs.

    

06/29/2020  Okay, just couldn't resist the pictures below -  he was on guard for the Bobcat, who was out in the pasture.

06/22/2020 Well in the picture on the left the ranch coyote was so proud of himself stalking.   UH OH!  it ran under the fence - he was so upset he just stood there staring at it running away.  SO, I put out two cans of cat food and he ate the cat food.  I felt so badly for him - he tries so hard to catch things but his timing is horrible.  Then he looks so confused, and he has no clue what he did wrong.  He needs to take lessons from the ranch bobcat!

  

06/15/2020 - What a happy sight as I walked out of my front door - NOT! The cleanup crew is here, and that is happy for them, and I do appreciate their role in living on a food chain ranch, BUT it doesn't quite make my morning.

06/08/2020 - SO I tell the mini's they can ahve their position back as treasurers (see profile) AND what do they do?  I hear them in their stall conspiring how to buy apples without me knowing!

06/01/2020 - HOW the heck did we get to half a year is gone.   Well, I guess welcome to June!  This will be the last squirrel picture (yes, I heard someone yell "About Time!")   BUT they were two cute not to take a picture of.    And what will we do for the second half of this year?   DIET!!!   AHAHAHA The same weight I made a new years resolution about and OOPS didn't lose it.

05/25/2020 - My squirrels have to shelter in place and social distance - I call this swim day.   Sitting on the edge of the water bowl, leaning down to take a sip and just relaxing on the edge.   Hawk can't swoop down since Ranch Mom is cleaning horses.   No Hawk - No Squrriel Covid - no little covid squirrel mask needed today.  Yep, good day!

05/18/2020 - Now since you are all engineers I have a pop quiz.   First clue - below is the old blue 10 cu ft. wheelbarrow.  Second is my happy, new greeen one  that is only 4.5 cu ft.  Third  - Picture them filled with horse manure (I didn't want to gross anyone out with horsehit filled bins)  See under the picture to continue this quiz!

Okay now, 1) steep hil   2) Me at 70   3) Which one can I push further up the hill?    4)  How dumb was this quiz!  grin!  BUT the moral of the story is that it may take me more trips up that hill, but it sure is easier pushing up hill with that smaller green one!

05/11/2020  Okay, I am into the baby squirrels BUT I now noticed 3 bobcats on the property.  SO, guess what they like for dinner!  UGH

05/04/2020 - It is BABY bunny time of year and baby squirrel.   Okay baby rattle snakes BUT they meet a bad ending if they come on the property, sad but true.  SO back to bunnies, and squirrels!

 

04/27/2020 - SEE, even the cattle can do social distancing!   They moo to each other and have grazing togethether BUT at a safe MOOOO distance.
NOW on a scale of 1-10 how dumb was this post?  NO, I don't want to know your answer to the question!

04/20/2020 - Just wanted to post one of my favorite older pictures and YES he is still on the ranch - they are now nesting!  Will have little owlies!

 

04/13/2020 -  Okay,  due to the information about clouds and the question of why all the cloud pictures you will be pleased that I have a picture of Romo trying his Virus Mask or his look of What Is She Trying To Put On My NOSE?

04/06/2020   What was that collective groan of oh NOT another cloud picture???  Well, shelter in place and it's raining - the horses are in their stalls - birds are somewhere until feed.   SO, that leaves the only changing thing right now between rain and shelter in place is clouds!   C&C   Clouds and Coffee.   BUT my husband said he will move the Kubota so I can get it in a good picture - WOW that's exciting - NOT!  So be prepared for Shelter In Place Tractor Pictures!

03/30/2020 - Has anyone noticed the more bird seed you leave out the more show up.   This is like some weird algorithm - the more I add - the more they add.   Maybe I can make them take a number and call it out for them to have a seat at the bird food area.    Anyway, it is raining - there is no pictures to take SO here is the latest cloud picture - I know you are all sick of cloud pictures plus the same view!  BUT, when you are retired you tend to do weird hobbies - this month it apparently is clouds.

03/23/2020 - We are on Covid-19 stay at home.   I tell Don, "Governer just declared we have to shelter in place."    Don thought he should have also said "If you shelter in place with your wife, you are prohibited from wearing your hearing aid."   NO, I didn't yell at him!  Why yell when he won't really hear the full volume!    AND below is my picture of clouds on the ranch

And here we are Monday, while I sit out here in the internet universe having my cup of coffee. Below is my favorite picture of this week. My favorite saying on a T-Shirt. NOW, I didn't say it was politically correct, but it is what I thought at one meeting.   

How did it get to be March and why haven't I lost weight?  Hmmm, that is a thought to ponder!

Now this is my precious, spoiled, Molly giving me the look that she hates my camera!  

 

Below we have wife photo vs. husband photo of what makes a sunset picture.  WHY does my husband want his tractor in his photo? NO, we will not take a vote. He'd probably win, and this is MY blog! He can have his own blog called TractorRMe!
