Good morning world...or whoever it is that is out there checking in on us, thank you for visiting. I'm going to use todays diary as an update. Poor Turkey Lurkey has gone to Turkey Heaven in the sky where he will have 2 working legs and behave like a real turkey. Sadly (for Greg) he never was big enough for stuffing..(thanks Rats whiskers ). Gertie the besotted Canada goose and mom and dad have flown off to who knows where but we expect them back next year. Earlier this week we were amazed to see a fully fledged golden eagle sitting for about20 minutes in the nest on the island in the pond, I believe that Momma Gooses' eggs made him a hearty (if not too fresh ) breakfast. Dolly the mutant cow has become a sweetheart after her very rocky start here at the ranch, I guess she heard me say that she had 2 options ( one is become a "nice cow", you can guess the other !!). She has now been joined by a very vocal buch of bucklings and is displaying an admirable amount of tolerance at their lack of bovine respect. Hassan (the terrorist) is still testing Charm' ( beauty with attitude) patience but has decided that good behaviour seems to work better with us and he is currently behaving himself.....who knows, we may have Mr Nasty back tomorrow but thats the nature of a young horse and he is an Arab !!! Lamb Chop still thinks he is a Border collie and helps round up the sheep, he is still the ugliest sheep in the flock (the world !!) but he has the biggest heart and always makes us smile. Castration is just around the corner for him and the bucklings....I wonder if they still love us then. Got to go, time to clock in at the barn, wonder what is waiting for us there today ????? Take care, M
