Belated Mother's Day Greetings!

I missed all the celebrations due to a bad cold (Man Cold.. would have killed a lesser person :-{ ). I slept through Mother's Day, church service and a couple of other days besides. Our youngest son took Elaine out for brunch. Thanks, Mike!

 I felt a lot better today, so got the new pasture seeded ready for the monsoon forecast for Wednesday plus 3.

Western King Bird

 Some of our latecomers are arriving. The king Bird will likely take up residence under our front deck. He has been around for about 5 years.

Things are greening up, but we really need a good rain. Boots is still on duty, watching his herd.

These tree swallows are checking out alternate accommodation. They have living in the martin house for the last 7 years. I think they are the same pair because they just arrive, go to the house, ignore the horses, dogs and people.

 Why would any bird choose a hole in a tree over a condominium? Oops, I see some renovations are needed. Maybe I have been reclassified to "Slum Landlord".

All in all, a lazy week on the old Acreage. (Darn that Boots! I can't take a horse picture without him hamming it up!)
