Don't think I've posted any pics of my best buddy....Max!
My blind 100 lb Labradoodle.
I've loved all of the dogs I've had in my life, they've all had it made.
But this guy is special, lost his sight from severe gloucoma last year at 7 years and had to remove his eyes.
Broke our hearts, it was incredibly hard for this family.
A year later and he has adapted better than I ever would have imagined.
He is beyond astute with his other senses, he truly amazes me!
Remains to be a cool, happy, good natured and super smart Max!

Heres the mighty Mississippi that's 2 mins from my place... My kids and I also come here to fish for the man sized catfish that's in there...
That rattle trap of a bridge is coming down within next couple yrs with a new one... Right side I'm on is Illinois, left side is Missouri...

Just thought I'd share, hope it's in right
thread....

Most pets are more in tune with you ,than most people think!got to love them!

It's funny you mentioned that. Couple weeks back rototilled and seeded the backyard. Birds ate up a lot of the seed lol. I noticed whenever there's fresh turned ground they're not far away.

Deer are next on fresh dirt!

I went out to get a pic of the wasp nest in my shed doorway. Just a metal shed and this is on the inside. When I open the door you'd think they would swarm, but I know they are there and we are cool.

They just had babies. You can just see the little egs they are covering up.

I also have these and lots of other wasps - and I haven't been stung in years. One of these landed on me to drink sweat and I almost freaked.

I have little house wren and other mini-bird nests everywhere. Can't use the watering can this year

I don't know if the birds ever laid the eggs here or if they realized ir would heat up like an oven in summer... The garden lizzard loves it.

@H.A.F. The jaws on that wasp look like a pitbull, must be a bug killer! or cow ant catcher!

Can't count all of the copperheads I've killed as a youth.
Quite a few 3+ footers, never thought about a hat band.
That would've been really cool.

@Slowdrawl seems to me the big ones at about near 4 ft would be closer to 3 and ahalf inches round, would be hard to put those snakes i a 4in. water main. Maybe it's just old skull memories? Thomas Boyd was the go to reloader,hat band, knife maker, man in our area. he had a bad drinking problem from time to time he striped one down till it tore, but not often!

@TreeFarmerCharlie your hummingbird feeder has some pretty heady glass, man. Next thing you know you'll have a little flock playing hacky-sack around your feeders lol.

[Tvanmunhen]

That's cool. It's just chilling in a field all by itself lol

 

[H.A.F.]

Found this beautiful plant today!

I went wandering today and found stuff too. I planted a bunch of comfrey around my place from seed. I have three places where it survived, including this one that's thriving.

It has cool little flowers like yours - kinda but not LOL

And I also fouond 'edible' crown-tipped coral mushroom.

I'd have to be pretty damn hungry, but there's survival food LOL

Congrats!

Thanks, we got lucky and it happened during the day instead of staying up all night to deliver. I just finished building a partition in the goat yard just before she gave birth too. It was a pretty cool experience.
