Ziggy Stardust 's (ZS), # 2 just for Ewe

This is Ziggy again coming to you from beautiful downtown Stardust Farm blanketed with snow as we speak. Yes folks its wonderful to be here with great Rocky Mountain horses as well as most other things God created. Just the other morning the farm had a carrier/racing ( banded) pigeon make an unscheduled stop at the farm as he was low on gas and oil. After 2 days of R&R at Autumn's crib (bed and breakfast for animals) he was on his way, good as new and he didn't even leave a tip!
Birds have always been a part of this zoo, many rescues with few here by design. There was Victor the Vulture, a really big ugly road kill eating dude that liked Mrs Brown (Julie) the best, you could tell because he would blow chunks for her, (its a bird thing). As a matter of fact it seems most of the birds around here favor her. Take for example her most very best favorite pet in the world, now a reasonable thinking person might think that would be one of her lovely rockies, but nooooooo, its her beloved Harlen (aka Harley) the house rooster. Harley is a 5 y.o. gamecock that's lived here for lets see, 5 years. He came to us as a cute little rescue chick and grew up to be an identity stricken rooster having nothing to do with the our 6 hens but loves the Potbelly Pigs, especially Patty Pig, but that's a story for another blog entry. Harley is a real "righteous dude" and I promise to tell you more of his adventures another time. The bird feeder outside the dining room window is home to many wild birds looking for take out and we even let them super size their orders but not on the dollar menu.
Almost time for me to go watch Mr Brown (Paul) feed and water the horses in the snow and mud. That's always so much fun watching him slip and slide around in the bard yard. The barn yard is now the farm's geriatric horse home as it's occupied by two old mares one of which is totally blind and the other one uses a walker and wears depends, yet another story for another time and I might add its a good one. Soooooo, this is Ziggy wishing you all are safe and sound and if your not sound, I can suggest a really good shrink!!! bye bye ZS.

  1. I believe that if you keep the descriptions of the goings on at this farm and the characters this way you may get people to pay to see it!
