Tuesday Triumph, November visits

Triumph is taking her time during her recent visit and decided to hang around for a while. Here are a couple more pictures:

Hopefully we will have a winter without deep snows as I imagine that she would struggle. We have some open fences between the neighbors and it would make it easy to walk around.

With hunters to the west, we also hope they leave her be. She would be a slower target than others.

Friday is buck day, winter bucks

A couple of bucks around the farm.

Friday flowers, to enjoy and share

Tuesday Triumph - She returns

Taken last week, it looks like her wound has healed very well on her shoulder. It may be that she returned during hunting season that started and no one has permission to hunt on our property this year. For the time being we are her sanctuary.

We welcome her back and hope for a few more pictures.

Flowers on Friday, Yellows

Not sure what the first yellow flower is but the bottom is an iris that we planted from a neighbor's stock.

It will take more than flowers to brighten up my upcoming week, however, I hope it will brighten up yours instead. May all my readers have a bright and enlightened weekend.

That'll leave a scar

It was bound to happen... my first semi-serious injury on the farm.

I stepped back and tripped myself in a clumsy display worthy of internet fame. Luckily for me, it didn't occur in front of one of the trail cameras. I landed on a wire cage, tearing pants and skin on the leg.

I've broken skin on the farm before, but this one is a bit more. It was described as an "ugly gash" although I continued to work, only because I'm so far behind for the year.

Needless to say, the leg is tender and bruised (along with my ego).

Friday is buck day, deer season

It's been awhile since posting a buck picture. Here's two of one of our residents:

Friday flowers if for just a day (or two)

A bit of melancholia is knocking and attempting to settle in. I know why but it must be the way it is sometimes.

If I share a couple of flowers with my readers, maybe the melancholy won't spread to any of you.
I don't know the names of these two and yes, I should take the time to find out. I will someday.

“The earth laughs in flowers.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.” ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” ― Georgia O'Keeffe

“One by one she slew her fears, and then planted a flower garden over their graves.” ― John Mark Green

I hope your day is brighter today and that your weekend that follows will be even better, if for only a short time.

Have a happy day before the weekend

I hope you all have a happy day today, so I offer up a couple of flowers for today and the weekend. Again these are from a group of wildflowers from outside the cabin. Not sure of the names, I'll figure it out someday. In the mean time, we could just admire them.
