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.

Goats ~

 Daisy above, Dam to April.

Blossom jumping onto the water tank.They have a lot of fun shoving each other off it.

April ,  she had to try to play with the cane after Blossom did.

April is a sweet heart, no where near as rowdy as Blossom is.
April jumping off the water tank.... ok shoved off by Blossom...

Blossom playing with my cane.

 
Blossom became tired of trying to figure out what to do with the cane, so she tossed it to the ground. LOL

April jumping onto another water tank and scaring one of the chickens at the same time.

Theo and his squabs ~

Was worried since Theo lost his foot while he was gone, that he would not be able to have offspring.
So I let Astra sit on some eggs, so I would know 

one way or another.
Both hatched.

This is the only set of babies I will let them have, since we are heading into winter. 

Hand-spinning in Oregon ~

Back in Oregon, when I still had long hair, I enjoyed handspinning yarn on my small front porch. There is something very peaceful about this hobby.

Some of the yarn I was working on at the time.

My Mother knitted my yarn into a beautiful scarf! 
(The pillow is one of my watercolor paintings)
