Radioactive Mutant Bluebirds of Happiness-

two genetic freaks, and two mornings in a row spent with a flamethrower! What's not to love about that? Explanation: The bluebirds around here are usually the size of wrens and a kind of dull blue color, a bit slate colored. We saw a bunch the size of robins and a gorgeous electric blue color. The genetic freaks are calves-- two heifers, from registered black Angus bulls, mothers are one solid black and one black with a brockle face (white with patches). The calves are a lovely, deep red in color. Red Angus were developed from sports like these, and now breed true. (I still prefer some Hereford blood, they are such cute calves....) The flamethrower... well, it's just after spring thaw, nothings living in the dry grass yet; the grass was about five feet tall when it was standing, and is a huge hazard in the summer. Thus, my inner pyro gets to exercise. ^.^ And I get to come back Wed and do it again!
