My Pumpkins are Harvested

Remember my pumpkin garden. Well, some goats (I won't say who) started nibbling my pumpkin plant.

Pretty soon, it looked like this.

Darn goats! We sampled the mini pumpkins, but they didn't taste very good.

Today, the human gathered up all my pumpkins. Look at all my pumpkins!

Then she brought out a pumpkin for me, but before she could get to me, my girl Joe smelled it.

She was determined to get that pumpkin!

Finally she got her bite.

She wasn't about to let anyone else have her bite.

Then the human brought the rest over for me to try.

I did enjoy a nice little sample of my pumpkin.

I think next year I might try growing watermelons. That sounds good.

My Pumpkin Garden

Last fall when the human gave us some pumpkins to eat, I decided to save some seeds. Look what I've been growing all summer!

We have small ones.

And we have mini ones!

They'll be ready soon.

Goings on Around the Barnyard

Hi there blogging world. This is Angel Osboer here. I am one of Cutie's twins. I thought I'd take a turn at writing today. I have a lot to say. My twin sister, Vixen, and I used to be the top kids here. The human and her mom would come and give us bottles and treat us so well. Now, we're nothing. We've been replaced by those kids of Mabel's.

Look at that. They get all the attention now. I haven't even gotten my bottle in two days. The human says we're so big that we don't need a bottle anymore. But I WANT my bottle. It's not fair. We're still cute. We holler and holler. I know the human can hear us because we inherited our grandpa Ozzy Osboer's giant yell. You can hear it all over the farm. I just don't get why she's ignoring us.

Not only do we have Mabel's babies to put up with, but more goslings hatched. The two moms and two dads with the five babies are not happy that the third mom hatched three more babies.

The big babies and other parents are not very nice to the little babies. The human says they need to go on Craig's List, whatever that is. I just hope it means there are going to be fewer geese. They try to eat our corn. I don't know why the human doesn't put all of our food in the pans instead of throwing some of it on the ground. We have to sort through the grass and fight with the geese to find it.

Oh, look at me up on the top of the world. Well, it feels like the top of the world when I play up there. I can see the happenings all around the farm, even in the yard. The human spent a lot of time in there today. She was planting a garden. I hope we get all the good stuff she was planting: peppers and tomatoes and zucchini.

What do you suppose will grow from that big black seed? I bet it isn't a green bean.

Does he look like he's ready to move and let them finish planting my yummy munchies? I don't think so.

There's Mushu. At least he was helping from the fence row, not the garden row. I like it when he isn't barking at us. I run when he gets close. You'd think he was actually trying to scare us and make us run. Well, my mom says it's bed time, so good night. Thanks to my half-aunt Millie for letting me talk tonight.

Temptation

Oh, I don't know why that silly human plants all those delicious flowers. She doesn't eat them. She won't let us eat them. And look, they are so yummy looking.

The tulip would make one little snack bite.

The whole magnolia tree would make a snack for all of us. The whole air is filled with the scent of magnolia, and it makes me want to munch.

The flowering almond is our favorite. It's the best goat candy you could have. What did she do? She moved the bush so we couldn't even get a tiny little bite.

She even added pink flowering almond bushes, but we cant reach them either.

I'm not sure. The bleeding hearts look like they might tickle going down, but I would definitely give it a try.

If only we could reach all the flowers instead of just smelling and dreaming.
