I was doing the usual multitasking today, writing a blog entry and three emails, when Orange decides I am not paying him enough attention.  So he waltzed up and plopped down right in front of the monitor.  Since my keyboard is on a slide-out, this wasn't a big deal, and I kept working. 

However, after a couple of minutes with me continuing to type on the computer (I still had the three emails open and the blog article), Orange became very unhappy.  So he jumped down on to the keyboard.  He scampered off just as soon as he did it--like he knew it made me very unhappy.  I lost everything I had written.  Now I will have to do it again.

Orange is really an affectionate cat.  Just sometimes too affectionate.

Oh well, cats, dogs, horses, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, guineas, and emus are meant to make a person's life interesting.

HUGE Frog in the Pond

Can you see him?

Well, I enlarged the section of the picture of the giant frog.  He just looks little in the first picture; he is really huge.

There must be 30 giant frogs in the pond right now.  Between them at night and the loud mouthed Mille Fleur roosters during the day, it sounds like a zoo around here.

I also caught a picture of a strange black snake in the pond.

While I was out by the pond, my Indian Blue peacocks came over to investigate me...though young, they like to check out whenever anyone is out and about.

My Indian Blue Peacocks

On Monday, I will be getting this female blue.  She's six months older than the boys.  I am sure the boys will appreciate it...

The very definition of cute, my white Chinese goslings came in first thing this morning.  Goslings are cute, curious, and one of the most intelligent of young poultry.  Unlike most baby birds, these didn't need me to dip their beaks into the water or food--they went right to eating and drinking.
