Blogging, to take over the world. |
In the previous blog, rain was likened to a leopard, a spot here, and a spot there - now the spots have taken over the picture, and we have a wet leopard, all spots are the same; wet, even the spaces inbetween are now wet! The villain of the story defeated, Mr. Drought put in his place; (to re-appear again in another episode of Life.) At last, a season of planting is possible. All is well ... Like every good story, new villains - Army worms have turned up to snack on the corn on the menu, a new strain, imported from America - Super Worm! The Worm to end all crops, and the good guys are doing their best to contain this scourge. Calling Superman or somebody ... help! Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... (<< this may not be clear to younger viewers) the sheep's pen was flooded today, and the sheep were moved closer home to the only 'dry spot' on the farm. This spot was a small camp right behind the west side of the home, one can look out the window from the kitchen, and there the sheep are, safe and dry. Yes - there are drainpipes, and waterpipes, and other stuff, stuff that sheep can stuff-up. I know ... it is the only dry spot, lets hope! Dog-patrol at 1am, and as I let the dog out (*), water can be heard gushing out a pipe, yes, I know you said, anyways - the sheep were moved to the day-camp where the young ostriches play all day. The ostriches are closed up under roof at night, safe from all other mishaps. The pipe put back in its place, and life goes on ... (*) yes, it is I who let the dog out, I do it every day, no big thing, no need to make a song and dance about it! |
