Spread across the field.

Cute June 5, 2017
Hopped the nest too soon
Quiet as a mouse until
My mom comes with worm.
Art Prescription: We found a wee robin in our yard, not ready to fly. The nest was too high to return him, so we placed him in a basket and tied it in the tree. The parents found him quickly and resumed feeding. Yay. Then when I returned home later the basket was empty. Dang, I thought, hawk.
Heading out for my evening walk I saw the parents across the street in my neighbor’s yard. And guess what? There was the baby.
My friend who is a bird expert, said fledging does not necessarily mean they are ready to fly, but just ready to leave the vulnerable nest. The parents continue to feed and soon the baby will be hopping onto branches.

Salon June 3, 2017
Hairspray is melting
She returns to the wild woods
Brief brush with glamour.
Art Prescription: So I had a new haircut at a fancy salon yesterday. New stylist who worked my hair like a sculpture and then blew it dry with much precision. I drove to Sam’s office to show him my new do. I sort of felt all girly. Then today, we went hiking and my passion for nature overruled fashion. Still, thank you Travis!

I’ve covered extra feeding shifts this week at the farm, and it’s been wonderful. Like a symphony, the horses come in when called (mostly), and go to their “space.” There is of course plate surfing which has to be monitored and controlled. Ha! Ever tried to stop a 1200 lb pet from stealing food? It does take some understanding of herd behavior, and a “superwoman” pose. I adore each of these 13 horses.
Here is Finn after much pampering:
Say’s Summer June 1, 2017
Watermelon juice
Runs sticky down my arms, drips
Black seeds hit the ground.
Art Prescription: On a hot day nothing say’s summer like a slice of watermelon. And if you are from the south…the spitting contest is ON!
