A Vicktory Farm & Garden Greeting
A bright “Greeting” from the garden for the Header Challenge theme. It was my choice for this week, I had no idea what I wanted to photograph as my header, thought I might like to keep the puppies on the header but the thought of trying to get the perfect shot of them… well it … Continue reading
Moving Right Along Updates
Orphan Calf The calf didn’t make it. It failed to regained its sucking urge enough to handle the bottle in spite of whole bag of Lactated Ringers and tube feeding. Bummer yes, but not a huge surprise. My headache will go away, Bet’s watching Australian girls who are dumber farmers than us and laughin’, and … Continue reading
La Nina
La Nina generally brings cold, snowy, wet, active winters to the northern Cascades. And this time, so far, she is living up to her reputation. La Ninas often follow an El Nino and here she is. Looking like she will deliver a promised wet cold winter. Last winter we had a … Continue reading
Wind, Cold, Storage Places, and… Antics

How Does My Garden Grow?
Whew, boy howdy, this is not as easy an assignment as it would appear. Fishing_Guy, you must be joking, right? I’m sure that Mac, Darla, Gail’s Man, can come up with wonderful concise but all encompassing pictures and quickly decide which shot says it all, but I’m supposed to put it all in one picture? What makes … Continue reading
