Whether I like or not........... new visitosr have come to the farm

First this very sweet cat.  He was sitting on the back porch early one morning..........

I made the mistake of asking him if he was hungry..........he was.

I posted his picture on Facebook, 

no one has accepted him as their friend........as of yet.

I have named him..........Hobo

The next day, this young bird got trapped into our chimney and the next morning, it finally came out of the fireplace........tired and weak. I let it go outside.......and it flew away.

The next day after that,  a swarm of gigantic flying ants covered the whole grounds. This is their mating season. They have done this a few years ago and I do not like them being here. You cannot walk because they are all over the grounds. Thankfully in a couple of days, they left.

The cat........has not left

. He rolls all over the porch and makes it hard for me to resist rubbing his belly.......which he loves.  Although I don't really want another cat.......

the large rats that will not leave my car alone.......have suddenly disappeared and are no longer on my engine when I open the hood. 

My flowers have stopped being nibbled down...........

He follows right along side of Sophie and I on our walks.......

so incredibly sweet

He has proven himself to be a worthy " farm cat"

so..........I guess.........

 he will stay.

My greenhouse and my greenhouse gardens are looking pretty this time of year.

It's always full of rose moss, blooming in brilliant color

and budding in every container.

I love pincushion cactus and I have had this one for many years.

My Chrysanthemums are beautiful this year

and the roses are constantly blooming.

I had planted a large garden of zinnia, as you know, my favorite flower,

but we have had an explosion of rabbits this year. '

They mowed all of my sprouted Zinnia down.

Little Taboo is growing larger.......well........longer each day. He enjoys sitting with me during my stitching hours........sorting my thread.

Sophie.........sweet as always has welcomed all the cats into her domain.

As long as she is the only dog........she is happy.

I have a vintage recipe on my cooking blog by Ann Pillsbury 1950.
