Archery ~

These photos are from last year.

Have not been able to do any Archery over the summer, because of the heat.
Today, was the first day that was cool enough I 

could give it a try.

Was only able to do 7 rounds of 8 arrows.
Not able to do the hours of Archery any more,
but I am happy I can still do it.
Shoot with a 35lb Horse bow, at only 20 yards. 
The bow is easy to pull and does not stack.
(back when, a 55 to 65lb bow was the norm and I shot at 100 yards)

Pumpkin Pie ~

 Decided to try to make a pumpkin pie yesterday afternoon.

DH found some gluten free pie crusts at Wegmans, only 10mg of salt, was surprised by that.

Normally he would make the pie crusts

Used a combo of Almond milk and thick goat milk kefir. 

Used half the sugar but I think next time, will use 

brown sugar instead of white.

Putz goes for a Walk ~

Infant Putz, 

has become bored with her inside cage,

 so when I can,

I like to take her outside so she can explore.

Surprising how fast she can be for such a tiny creature.

Photos taken with my cell phone.

More young Indian Fantail photos~

 You know how everyone takes beautiful side 

photos of their young Fantails....

Well, mine had different ideas. LOL....

Pretty much feathered out now.

Love my Mini Indian Fantails !
Think both will be Ribbon tails.

Mini Indian Fantails growing up ~

The two baby mini fantails are nearly feathered out.
Astra, their mother is in the middle in the photo above and to the right in the photo below.

Color seems to change depending on, wither I take the photo in natural sunlight or camera flash.

They both the offspring are going to be Ribbon tails.

The above photo is more true to the their colors.

Tortoise Garden ~

Few days ago, I finally was able to tame and clean up the Baby Tortoise garden.

Have been trying to grow Dandelions for her to eat but I am not able to keep them alive.

Think it might because they have very long tap roots like baby trees do and my pots are too shallow?

Never knew this weed could be such a challenge to grow inside. 

This morning, I went ahead and added seeds to the empty pots.
Trying the Hawkbit dandelion seeds again, and various other tortoise safe greens.

Mindian Fantail babys~

Interesting that they seem to change colors 

depending on the light. 

One in my hand is in natural light from the window, the other two photos are with my flash. 

Shed floor is darker than it looks in the pictures.

They are Mini Indian Fantails.

The one on the right side of the photo, is the one I am 

holding in the photo above.

They look to be the same color with natural light.
Normally my original pair, throws different color offspring each time.
