Maron can be over enthusiastic and scares a lot of other dogs off, or makes them mad enough to bite her.. Only the huge Akita dogs are really good with her, being 5 or 6 times as big.. But this Jack Russel Terrier was a good sport about being overwhelmed..

Maron studiously ignoring adult birds.. but licks her chops and can't avoid a murderous attraction to the smaller chicks...

I came home from work just 10 or 15 minutes too late. Seven the Turkey's body was still warm. I didn't notice the outgoing bright-eyed little bird had been turned into a lime feathered hung of meat at first. It was just strange that Maron was over between a big rock and a green shrub. I thought her leash was caught on something and wen to untangle her, almost stepped on the dead turkey chick... And after it's all done Maron was just sitting there looking all cute an innocent. I had to make and effort to be mad at her for at least 24 hours... Hopefully she can retain the urge to be as far from the birds as possible when they gather around the feed cans. Or does she just look reticent when I'm there? I'll have to reorganize things somehow just to be safe I guess.. It was very disappointing to lose Seven, my first and last eye contact everyday for the last couple weeks. And it was also a lot of effort to hatch the turkey with an unreliable incubator and time the move to the brooding box with the heat lamp, and set up another box as the bird got bigger.. A bunch of kids and their guardians enjoyed Seven too, not to mention her hatch-mate LaBuBu the Silky... Now I have to wait till March to try and learn of Turkeys through experience...

Be good today Maron, don't eat any of our birds.

Maron saying goodbye this morning. Usually she's already keeping herself entertained by the time I pull the bike out of the carport but this morning the bike wasn't there. Hard to Believe! At first I'm wondering what stupid place I left the bike yesterday after getting back from work. Then I remembered I left it where I always do and rand to feed the animals before going off to Free Night School... The realization hit, and I'm muttering about MFers and convincing myself I'm really against the death penalty and won't find whoever took my bike and be tempted to string them up like one of the those (probably untrue) images of horse thieves in old USA Western genre novels. Maron came out the wall with her look of concern, probably wanting to tell me she had barked warnings and how I should pay more attention and drag my butt out at night more often.. Then again, maybe some tired kids just borrowed it on the way home while I was at Night School in the evening. It would enrage me as much if they had taken a different bike, like the one with no lock, or the one wihout the seat adjusted to me.. Gotta be a lesson here, make it easier to take the less convenient (for me) bikes.. The incident did make for so cute photos of Maron, so it's not all bad.. Always have back-up bikes: Resilience!

愛を語り、いろいろな表現し、 しばらくするちょっとダウンするかもけど、 また立つ、、、咲く!!
After talking (expressing) love in abandoned fields you may wilt, but only to rise again!! (inspired by lines from NanBuShiki and Bob Marley)

Morning Glory Maron!!

I called Maron over pointing at fellow Asphalt Flowers, usually I'll do something like that when there's bug or something she'll enjoy trying to eat, or a cat she'll enjoy trying to chase (away from killing off the ecology)... But the way she kept at it here there might really be some mice or something living under the wood pile or between the low wall and the stacked wood..

You are my Morning Glory Maron!?!??

The vines over here by Maron's spot on the wall by the wood pile show deep blue flowers. I wonder why the flowers seem like a lighter blue over by the house? Is it genetic? Or a soil PH or Fertility thing? "Inquiring Minds"!!
