A wild turkey sits on a boulder at Animal Place sanctuary. She and her mom, who currently has 7 little babies, love hanging out at the sanctuary. No hunters, not bad people, good food and friends.
Don't know what these are called, but last summer I went to Home Depot and picked up a bag full of wild flower seed ... Well, to my disappointment, they didn't do well ... yet to my surprise, this year they decided to show up :) ..
Wild Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) is also known as the 'Lent lily' or 'Easter lily' since it often blooms and fades within the Lenten period. The wild Daffodil is smaller than horticultural varieties, with paler petals and a deep yellow trumpet-like tube. The leaves are grey-green, thin, long and flattened. It grows in groups so can be quite an impressive sight. This native Daffodil is found in damp woods, fields, grassland and orchards. It is a rare plant but can be abundant in some areas.
Baxterley Church
This small grade II listed parish church is of square plan. The windows in the c. 12th–century chancel are small. The church has been extended in the 13th, 14th and 19th–centuries. The font is 15th–century.
The church dates from Norman Times and was built around 1200 AD with additions built throughout its life. The foundations of the nave Date from the 14th century. The base of the small tower was built around 1540 but the top section is early 17th century. The church was extensively rebuilt c. 1875 by Paull and Bickerdike.
Hugh Latimer, The Bishop of Oxford preached a sermon at Baxterley Church on Christmas Day 1552. his niece, Mary Glover lived in Mancetter, nearby.
A 13th century wooden crozier head was found embedded in the wall in 1958; it is oldest piece of church equipment in Warwickshire.
This is an ANTIQUE Japanese little girl's miyamairi furisode. Miyamairi are formal children's kimono which are most often worn for coming of age ceremonies. This particular miyamairi features a delicate wild rose motif on royal blue rinzu silk. The rinzu is woven with a pattern of wisteria and peony blossoms. This kimono originates in the Meiji Period (1868 - 1912) and has a luxuriously padded hem in true Meiji style. This kimono also features five ivy in snowflake crests.
I have inspected this kimono in detail, and there is some damage, though mostly to the interior. The exterior of this kimono is nearly pristine save for one or two faint white scuffs. On the interior, there are a number of spots where the overall padding of the kimono has come through the lining (appearing as white thread pulls), this can bee seen in the photos above. There is also a small spot near one of the ties where the lining is beginning to wear through, as well as a loose thread near the other tie.
MEASUREMENTS:
120cm - Long (Shoulder to Hem)
110cm - Arm span
52cm - Width across the back
114cm - Total width of skirt
68cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a child about 110cm (3'7") - 130cm (4'3") tall, with hips about 76cm (30") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the Shaggy family who just moved to their new homes in the forest. Personally I find them very likeable because they strike up a quality conversation so easily with anyone and no topic is taboo. On my left we have papa Homer, he’s been keeping the Mop Top since the sixties. His friends said he look a lot like Paul McCartney, with hair hanging over his face. Standing next is his wife Marges, when she’s furious she can spin like a fast windmill and beat people up with her copper locks, just kidding. Bart, their eldest son is aspiring to be the lead guitarist in a band and deemed headbanging an effective way to relieve tension. At the tender age of six, their youngest daughter Maggie is also showing great rocking potential, flicking her tresses backwards and forward in rhythm with blasting music. It’s my delight to have such vibrant residents in the neighborhood. I prefer them over the Simpson family because their hairdos are more distinctive looking and they turn heads everywhere they go.
We saw about 20 wild turkeys today while mountain biking in Long Ridge Open Space. Never seen so many. It was a good four hour ride, with cooling mists falling for the long climb out.
Best ever display of ox-eye daisies in our wild flower meadow. Last cut was in March and it won't be cut again until the second half of July. The trimmings have to be spread out for seeds to drop out before disposal.
I woke up this morning, screamed downstairs to check to see if anyone was home, ran to my closet, buttoned up my max costume, ate fruity pebbles with my scepter-...I mean fork, then crept outside to approach the sleeping beast living on my front porch.
turns out we both love chasing squirrels, having wild rumpuses, & scaring the neighbors half to death.
Everybody's talking about people breaking into houses but there are more people in the world who want to break out of houses.
