Found this weld together contraption near a delivery today, had to stop and take a picture of it,

I'm still unsure if the builder should be congratulated or referred to the county mental health unit.

Some more cowboy wallpapers.

Haertig! I'm so happy to see you posting. Those are gorgeous photos. First few ones reminded me of Guam. I'm guessing Hawaii because of the volcanic rocks though?

I was trying to get better pics of the setup in my well shed and saw this cute little amphibian on the lid of the cistern

A lot of the frogs had disappeared for awhile but they seem to be coming back and that makes me happy. We had one on the side mirror of the truck the other day.

My baby came to see me when she saw me near the well shed. We used to keep the feed out in this area but it got so overgrown and became difficult to manage.

Yes, Hawaii. All pictures were from The Big Island.

In an effort to stay busy, I made this door Knocker today.
A shortened railroad spike and a worn-out horseshoe.
Figured I would gift it to our rancher neighbors.

I did that when doing a late night charter run with a school bus. Scared the bejesus out of the window girl when I knocked. The order board doesn't register walkers in case you were wondering.

Around here they have signs. No walkup orders. They will not serve you.

We have had those signs here as well, until all the lobbies closed. I saw those people walking in line and thought it was so interesting.

I've seen many strange things in drive-thru's also, some down right funny. Years ago in a small town there was a guy in a datsun pickup ahead me at the drive thru. A little boy, about 4/5 was in the truck bed. When the guy pulled up to the window he noticed his little boy, who was peeing off the side of the truck! At least he was facing the building...

I was already laughing... The guy yells, then tried to open his door but can't because of the pay window. The girl at the window was howling also! Gawd that was funny! The guy finally shut his door and shook his head... Wasn't anything he could do... hysterical!

I'd never get there... I'd have to take a stroll to see what kinds of medicines were growing out in the woods. Oh! and that huge black wolf directly ahead, definitely have to check him out.

This is the first black bell pepper I have ever seen.

This is what happens when the deer get hungry! They come to the back door!

 

[Amish Heart]

That is adorable!

 

[Pearl]

That is adorable!

Her mother is very friendly too. This little girl is a year and a half old and loves my Doberman! She'll tap on the door if necessary!

 

[Terri9630]

I've ridden a horse through more than 1 drive thru.

 

[Peanut]

Now that's funny but not surprising for a Texas woman. I've been through pulling a trailer load of cattle several times. That always gets some strange looks.

That's a white tail deer isn't it? Reason I ask, here white tail doe's are matriarchal. The doe's will form a herd, many times w/daughters and grand daughters. The same family of doe's have lived within a mile for a couple of decades. Hope you're not going to be planting a garden... being friendly can be a mistake.

Yes whitetail. Have a herd of about 9-12 that are daily visitors. 4 generations. Very hard to garden but I try. Do a lot of container gardening so I can spray deer away around the pots. The little gal in the picture got in my feed shed yesterday, door was open a few moments, I think she'd come in the house.

We got married on that boat back in 1984.

@Pearl Around here a doe will only live 7-8 years. After about 6yrs their teeth become badly worn. Older doe's will become a nuisance trying to find food they can chew. All those tender veggies in your garden become more temping. Old doe's are the ones I catch in my garden. At least thats been my experience.

Maybe that fearless doe who begs for food has worn out teeth?

Here is a good guide for judging a white tails age by tooth wear.

That's really neat!! My little gal was born a year ago April. Her mom is about 17yrs old, she was not quite 2 when I lost my mom. She has a very distinctive scar on her hip do I know it's her. Have 2 more for that are about that age. They live a protected life around here, but those 3 old gals don't hold their weight well. They still have kids every though!

 

[Peanut]

They don't hold weight because they are no longer eating properly. They can't, their teeth are worn out. Most deer who die naturally, die from starvation or it's secondary effects.

Some deer do live longer than 7 or 8. I had a big black doe living by my peach orchard that lived about 12 years. She had several generations in her little herd. I knew the last deer I killed (hit with my truck), she was a great grand daughter of Blacky.

I saw this yesterday. The caption read "International wooden boat Expo", "Spokane River, Idaho".

 

[backlash]

I was wondering why I passed some of those today on my drive to Spokane.
