We (my physicist/farmer husband & me & the dogs & the cats) moved from sprawling Houston, TX to a small, but useless farm in Florida. Then the donkey moved in. He was lonely, so the goats came. & then some horses, some more dogs, chickens, cockatiels, more cats, new horses. You get the picture.
That is the state bird of Indiana where I grew up and the sure sign of spring there. I have never seen one in the Central Valley and I miss them.
ReplyDeletethey are a year-round bird here which I never quite get used to altho' I do love them, even in their drab colors (which this one was NOT).
