Willow greeting us as we returned from Mass. She is hoping to get in the house to sample some soaked beet pulp.

Wildlife photographer Alan Murphy caught the moment this Great Grey Owl turned its head and shattered its perfect camouflage.. Reminding us that the woods are never truly empty.

A man came up to me and asked, "Do you really think Jonah spent the days in a whales stomach?" I said, "Well, when I get to Heaven, I'll ask him." He said, "What if he isn't there?" I said, "Well then, YOU ask him." --Blessed Fulton Sheen

Coln seems proud of his exploits!

RT @BitchesBane: Dad joke of the day. 😂

Researching Terpenes (present in plant based alcohol, tequila, gin, hops all of which I drank large amounts of) and a correlation of why when I stoped drinking after 20+ years suddenly my cholesterol/ triglycerides/ wtfever went through the roof…. Link to the national institute of medicine research in links and the findings of saffron on A1C reduction are equally fascinating (I’m sure this post will be suppressed….)

Yep.

At first it looks like a serious ceremony… then you notice the one dog who decided, “I’m done walking.” 😂❤️ The ending makes it even sweeter.

One day, it will be studied just how many of the world's problems can be attributed to the media. I would go for a 80/20 relation, if I were to guess.

👍🇺🇸🤠

omg yes lol - and i’ve done the math, by the time it’s on the ground it’s $1k

This is wild! Can you feel it?!

I did

Pope Leo XIV offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Place de la Concorde, where Louis XVI was beheaded, near the place where the Last Supper was mocked during the Olympics. He will gather in memory of hundreds religious martyred during the French Revolution. This is an Act of Reparation pleasing to Almighty God. The triumph of Catholicism over Atheism.

Hermione is the rule follower. Twenty goats on this farm, and she is the obedient one. Last Friday night she was one of two who ran. The alert came around 11. In two summers they had never left the boundary after dark. That's her being carried by @Grantwills in the photo. They're both rule followers, so to keep it straight: Grant is the human. 😉 The goats wear Nofence collars. GPS and solar. I draw their pasture on my phone and move it around the property. They spend their summers eating #buckthorn, an invasive brush that is miserable to get rid of. The areas they cleaned still look pristine. Grant and three of his friends were over. Tammy had gone to bed. We handed out rubber boots and coats and headed out on the Ranger. Not much moon. The other runner was Panic, one of our two smallest goats, Pain and Panic. That's her in the photo under the trailer, wearing the collar that told on her. Running off is just Panic being Panic. Hermione leaving was different. We found the two and turned the fence off. The whole herd was acting strange. Usually they are playful and curious. Instead they huddled in close to us and stood together, looking out into the dark, watching. Hermione had a patch of fur torn off her back. It had been there earlier that day. No blood. She was clearly upset. I had never moved them at night. We went back for grain and flashlights. Usually the grain starts a fight. They ignored it and followed us anyway. Half a mile back to the pen, running ahead, staying bunched. They stayed in the pen a few days. Coyotes, foxes, bears, the occasional wolf and mountain lion live out here. Could have been a tree she scraped getting away. We don't know. She is doing fantastic. Maybe a little more scared. This morning they all went back out, a little closer to the house. Turns out even the rule follower breaks a rule when she's scared enough. I don't blame her.

A handful of offensive pigeons!! 😮😉😁🐦

I want you to put clives and brown sugar on these hams. Ok chef. <3 minutes later> So you said nutmeg and cloves, right chef? There is not a single member of this staff who wasn't deprived of oxygen at birth.
