The imminent fire threat has passed
and I can now turn my attention to pleasanter things.
Thank you to all of you who cared what became of me
during that stressful time.
A pair of peacocks strutting their stuff on my water tank.
Her Ladyship with her brilliant green neck
and rather drab coronet
his Lordship, magnificent even without his showy tail
together they make quite a pair
at the moment herself is sitting on a huge set of eggs
threatening a population explosion.
The older male cohabiting with us,
has become quite tame and comes up when I feed the
chickens and eats out of my hand.
It is rather nice to be feeding the chickens in their cage
with a peacock on one side and my dog on the other,
both waiting for their share.
Life is GOOD!
they're so beautiful. a sweet story of feeding, too. glad the fire danger has abated!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a win win situation for you and the
ReplyDeletePeacock.
Big smiles.
ReplyDeleteLong may life continue to be good - and safe.

Oh! I'm so glad to know the good news and to see your joyful post. Love the mental picture of you hand-feeding his Lordship! And the portraits of the royal couple are great. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad news both. But needless to say good is better. I admire how you are able to talk about the scary bad stuff without whining though. A tough skill to master.
ReplyDeleteA handsome couple. I love the crowns.
