A couple of photos! On Thanksgiving, my dad and I drove over to the new buffalo reserve to see the buffalo... only the buffalo did not want to be seen. They couldn't be seen from any angle at the buffalo viewing area; they also couldn't be seen as we drove around the reserve. Finally, we saw another car stopped, and we also pulled up there and stood on the running board...
Hiding out in the long dead grass. It's taller than they are! "You wouldn't think an animal that weighs a ton could hide like that," my dad mused, but they can.
My roommate and I have been planning an herb garden for next spring. She's already got basil and rosemary (well, we'll need to replant next spring, but she's got places for them), and I wanted to add thyme - "And we could do parsley and sage too, and call it a Scarborough Fair garden," I joked.
I don't know that they would make it through the winter indoors in that itty-bitty basket - I sort of expect they'd live long enough for Christmas stuffing and then die off - but oh, it was hard not to buy it. All we'd need is the thyme!
