Mango pit: Before and After. I really don’t understand how the mango pit holds into so much flesh. It isn’t that big but it stubbornly keeps me from eating at least an ounce of fruit. If I didn’t have the velociraptors to share it with I would feel bad about all of that food waste. I wish mangos were more like avocados in the pit department.

I really want to see what a mango pit looks like. The tiny velociraptors will clean it for me! Is this how you make Mango Chicken? Listen past 30 seconds to hear the rooster take credit for the treat. Men.

I’ve never owned a car with a name but we’re calling this one Dirty Bertha after the wife of Karl Benz. 125 years ago she was the first person to drive an automobile a long distance and a driving force behind making Mercedes-Benz the company it is today. We’ve got big plans for this old turbo diesel #Mercedes #300CD #ProjectDirtyBertha #makeamericafastagain

I pathetically purchased #zucchini at the farmers market a week ago. With great shame, I told the farmer that all my plants had succumbed to vine borers. He said that his secret is coffee grounds. So, I raided all of the coffee makers at work for the used grounds and now my new zucchini and I smell like baristas. Will my zucchini be caffeinated?

Kahlo has been working on this look all day. You start with a perfect Polish poof then lightly dampen by drinking out of all available mud puddles. Please notice how her wattles are adorably buckled under her chin. I have no idea how she accomplished that. Supermodel.

Thank goodness the rain filled this random bowl with water! Every single chicken has had a drink from it tonight. If it weren’t for this bowl, where would they get liquids? From those huge waterers I regularly wash and fill? I think not! Ridiculous. Everyone knows the best water is from mud puddles. Random bowls are a distant second.

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!

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…

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!

Thank goodness Ruthie is no longer broody! Her quarter sized eggs are so important to our daily rations. ๐
I do appreciate your efforts tiny chicken. Even if they are not represented well by your production.

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.

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.
