Latergram from vacation. I was headed for the iceberg but stopped for the “Shell with Attached Seaweed” attraction. Pretty fancy nature!

Bryce Dallas Howard, featured #WhiteLacedRedCornish model for @mcmurray_hatchery, shows off her loooong neck. Part giraffe, part velociraptor and all crazy, Bryce is a great addition to my flock of oddities. Her sister Gloria is perched behind, doing her best #turken impression. Someone (Wilga) has been plucking out her neck feathers. Such personality! Such troublemakers!

Harvest! Looks like salsa, if you add some labor.

On today’s edition of “Nature is a Jerk” we have whatever is removing huge #greentomatoes from the plants and just eating a few bites. This Jerk doesn’t wait for the tomatoes to turn red, doesn’t eat all of one before moving onto the next AND always chooses the #tomato I had my eye on. First, I was blaming #birds when it was just a few nibbles. Next, I was cursing #bunnies when it was more. But now, the tomatoes are being removed from higher up the plant and I assume it is a team. I’m thinking a duo of #Cardinals pecking at the stem with a #Raccoon using its creepy hands to hold the cage steady. Then a contingent of rabbits rolls the fallen fruit to a comfortable area where the whole team can relax together and enjoy it together. There might also be a small deer on the coaching staff. I’ve seen evidence of chest high nibbles I can’t attribute to anyone else. Unless those raccoons are going at it totem pole style…

Looks like the wagon and dually will be in the shop for a few weeks so it’s time to bring the most fuel efficient vehicle I have out of retirement…

Just a minute of some Georgia chickens eating a Georgia peach! I skewered the peach to the ground so it wouldn’t roll around and get dirty. There is a second peach stake on the other side of the chicken yard so that Vi and Donna didn’t have to share. Spoiled? My chickens? No!! Stop!

Latergram from vacation – Wikipedia says:
Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves the house and surrounding landscape of the summer retreat of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt and their family. It is located on the southern tip of Campobello Island in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, and is connected to the mainland by the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, at Lubec, Maine in the United States.

My tomatoes will reach the sky! Several of the plants are approaching the 8 foot mark. This is the year I will cut them back so that it doesn’t become a dense tomato jungle. This one. This is the year.

Thank goodness Ruthie is no longer broody! Her quarter sized eggs are so important to our daily rations. 😀
I do appreciate your efforts tiny chicken. Even if they are not represented well by your production.

If I didn’t have a cracked windshield, cracked headlight and two finished front tires I might be tempted to point this pig west. #cannonball

We’re back in the US & back in Acadia National Park. Traded the fog of a week ago for 90+ degrees. These are photos from a pretty serious trail we hiked called the beehive.

We had to come back to #AcadiaNationalPark to see what we missed last week when it was all fogged in. Looks a little different in the sunshine! Highly recommend #BeehiveTrail for those that are sure-footed and not afraid of heights!

Look at that little dude in the front! He’s wearing a cast on his foot and absolutely playing it for extra treats. Oh, poor me, can’t get over there, please deliver! Worked on me!

Finally! I thought we were going to get out of Canada without a single spotting! At first it was just this large moose. Then there was one baby. Then two! It was so exciting! And, lest you think I’m good at spotting things, I included the picture where the moose literally crossed the walking path in front of a crowd of tourists.

A wild #pitcherplant! I would have thought they were tropical but it was growing in the exposed mantle at the #Tablelands in #GrosMorne!

I’ll take one 50 gallon drum of hard bread please 🤔

We lucked out that the weather was dry and warmer last night as this was our tent for the evening.

We found a few icebergs yesterday. Largest one had to be over 40ft tall above the water.

Hiking the #SkerwinkTrail. Well marked, not crowded and great views! The internet oversold the dangers of the cliffside parts. I think the first plant looks like a very small hosta and the last picture is the color of pinecone one should choose if you get to choose your own color.

Some shots of puffins from yesterday. Heading out soon to look for icebergs and whales.

I’m in love. Worth the whole trip!

The purple and pink flowers are weeds! They grow along the highway and in medians. Such good weeds! The jelly bean houses are a trademark here in #StJohns. That’s all we saw before the fog rolled in…

In addition to friendly sheep, our #airbnb also had an enormous #peony. Check out the size of these blooms! Can you see the two ants? The formations in the last picture are the #flowerpots at #HopewellRocks.

I was worried that the sheep at my #airbnb were not going to be friendly. But then I sat down with a piece of pie and discovered that sheep are just like any other animal. Scroll for the progression.

Our stop for tonight, home of the highest tides in the world. Can be more than 50ft from low to high tide.

We’ve reached the eastern most point of the United States. Can’t imagine why they need a lighthouse here…
