nuthin' but sun today...

...so much for our rain forecast.  Finished closing in the "porch" on the east side - more polycarbonate and some roofing that I pre cut months ago.

Something from my JD spicy salad mix seeds I planted has gone to flower.  Had to check what was in the seed packet and compare the plant to some google images.  28%Black Seeded Simpson, 17% ea Green & Red Salad Bowl. 12% Marvel of Four Seasons, 11%Bibb, 7%Arugula, 5%Curled Cress, 3%Mizuna.  Searched the whole list...turns out it is Mizuna.

There just might be the first TFL longhorn arrival of 2012 out there somewhere.  Benita has had a new friend hanging out with her for about 2 weeks.  I named her Mao.  She was starting to show signs of dropping a calf soon.  Mao disappeared 2 days ago but showed up late tonight really hungry and afterbirth hangin out of her.  It has been my experience that the mamas tend to park their newborns in a safe spot and head out looking for food.  Hope she brings the new critter in to visit soon.  58,69,30,0,B
