Sing with me Olivia,

"'Ole Ms. Kayo had a farm . . . ."

Thanks for the pictures. The goats are so cool.

awwwwwww.... what a great idea, TK!

but I'm so tired from FEEDING 'em all, there's no energy left for a book.

if somebody ELSE wants to do it, I'd be happy to supply the pics!

today was a *really* big day... went to the US Embassy, learned how to get my SSDI direct deposit here, and registered to vote from abroad, and renewed my visa, and worked on my Residency paperwork and stuff... so, I'm about total TOAST.

:D:p:D

Kay's gonna go to BEDDY-Bye, at 7:30 pm, lol!

There's nothing like a child's laughter. Its innocence warms the heart. :Heart:


............................and................... ............


Kay Dear,

Just in case Olivia does not get back to you, I'd like to see pictures of EVERYTHING! :Excited: P l e a s e!!!

record it as a sound byte for your cell phone or on your PC

I feel the same way about a childs smile its gleams of joy and energy and hope

Deep in the jungle there was a wonderful woman named Kay.
She had many animals and fed them everyday.

Ok, well that's a start. Right? I'd have to look at the pictures again to come up with something else. Kids not only love baby animals but rhymes as well. I wrote a little book for my niece and she loved all the rhyming words and the fairies. LOL. Come to think of it, adults like rhymes as well.

Hope you are getting some much needed rest.

I can hear ya singin' honey!

that keyhole manger took mi esposo practically ALL day to make...

see, he had to keep going back and adjusting it.

the goats' heads (horns and all) have to fit in above, and then, they slide their heads IN and down to get their grain, hay, and treats.

but they're all DIFFERENT sizes, and it's a communal area.

so, the biggest keyhole (for Leto) had to let HIM get food, but NOT let little Lila fit her BODY through, and possibly get trapped, stuck - half in and half out.

goats are REALLY fussy about their food (they don't eat tin cans, either!) and will NOT eat anything that touches the ground.

they waste a LOT of food, 'cause they're messy.... luckily, the ducks and chickens clean up pretty good... but they don't eat hay.

so, the keyhole manger solves the problem, VOILA !!

Henny Penny has a SECRET !!

I noticed she'd been sneaking off, and didn't know what she was UP to.

usually, hens just lay their eggs, and go off to play.

but sometimes, they suddenly decide to collect a PILE of eggs, and SET on them.

I guess Henny Penny wanted some baby CHICKIES to play with, so she found a nice QUIET spot, at the VERY TIPPY TOP of the goats' hay rack, in the back corner of the barn.

I went in the barn to get some flakes of hay, and LOOK what I found!

of course, that wasn't a very SAFE place for little baby chickens to hatch, so we "rescued" the nest, Mama Henny Penny and all, and made her a nice little home to safely raise her family.

here they are, 21 days later, on HATCHING day:

Note to self...start writing kayo's book!

When I run away to the jungles of Belize and find Kayo, I can help with the book, too!

Olivia ??

One day, in Janet's bunny hutch, I spotted a little pile of rabbit fur, and I figured out why, so I brought her a bowl.

When a lady bunny starts pulling clumps of fur, it's because she wants to make a NEST, and I wanted to give her a nice private place to build it.

Two days later, bunnies were born, all PINK and squirmy. Mama Janet gives bunny milk to her babies.

When Janet leaves her bowl to eat and drink, she carefully covers her babies with nice soft fur, to keep them warm, because they don't have any fur yet.

The babies start to grow their own pretty white fur...

Here's one of the bunnies, eating cabbage, and growing up healthy and strong.
