I Should Start a Zoo …

So I am working in my office again, and I see a pony in my yard. I look again, and I have three ponies in my yard. They are quite tame, and you can pet them. They also like carrots and will eat them out of your hand. I asked Jellina (my sweet wife) did she order ponies off the internet? She said no, but I’m suspicious. This has been a funny year.

So, an update on the ponies. My neighbor who lives behind me had her daughter visit, and she brought her ponies. They let the ponies out in their pasture, but the ponies decided to look around the neighborhood instead and ended up at my place. I thought for sure there was a link to the Llama, but no, the Llama is still a mystery

Mangoes- Green Thumb Sunday

green thumb sunday

I was really not looking forward to this weekend. Why? I was supposed to cut the grass in my garden this weekend. My wife has been nagging me day after day to do it. It gets so annoying ;) after a few repetitions. I was hoping she would forget about it after a while. In the meantime I had continued reading my newspapers and blogging. After threats of ‘go and make your own dinner’, I finally got off my sofa and ventured into the garden. :)
