And then, I see the photo in @baymule 's morning post! Immediate thought was rescuing the Hereford bull as a young teenager from a barb wire/woven wire fence –– by myself. It was tough. His nose ring was involved! I had to keep thinking how I would jump through the fence into the other field...

The Hereford bulls were what I had to stay away from on the farm. Cows can have different personalities. A few were somewhat dangerous just because they feared people or didn't really like them. Bulls were always asserting themselves. In my dream, the bull was fairly young and not full grown...

😌 After breakfast drowsy. Outdoors, suddenly, dense fog! WS warned us yesterday about that patchy fog and driving. I just checked the nearest airport and they bounced between 10 mile visibility at 2:30AM and then 1/2 mile at 4:30 and now at 2 miles. Drivers on highways be aware. We will have...

I just couldn't bring myself to put this on the Xmas song thread as my follow-up post :D.

Additionally, I learned something about crows from that map on that website in your post, FlowerBug. They aren't in a large area of the Southwest US. It has never occurred to me that crows would not be in every city and town continent wide! The ravens may limit their territory here. They don't...

The tree is right on the property line and the branch is quite a few feet higher than my house. Cutting the branch would require professional help. No lower branches can be trusted for the extension ladder but I will see if I can reach the branch with the snowrake handle from the step ladder...

A small yield is probably standard for here, @Decoy1 . The root is purchased from the Asian market in Spring and may be divided between large pots of about 6 gallon size (20 liter). Soil mix is potting soil and plenty of composted chicken manure. After poor results, I try to use the best that...

Ginger. Actually harvested some onions and cilantro from the garden a day or two ago :). That should give you some idea about the warm weather we have been experiencing.

Why do i identify so easily with these women ... huh?

These aren't mysterious or unexpected or surprises and they are hardly a feature of wildlife unless we consider an invasive species –– wildlife. I suppose they are and @flowerbug 's bird guide lists Starlings and dang I see on the map that they are all the way up to the Arctic Ocean ! I remember...

Catastrophic flooding in western Washington State. Western Montana also appears to have some flooding, likely from snow melt. Nothing like those news stories here with some local, water rescue teams being sent to the westside of the Cascades. In this area, there were several thousand customers...
