A Penguin Feeding a Chick in Switzerland

A Penguin Feeding a Chick in Switzerland

A penguin feeding a chick.


I would never expect to see a penguin feeding a chick in the middle of Switzerland in the middle of summer in Switzerland but I did. It’s just a wooden statue but that doesn’t make it any less unexpected. At first I thought it was just a block of wood to block people from taking a parking spot.


Two new books from the lending library.


I found two new books of interest. now that I am sitting I can look through them.


Hay There

Rolls of Hay wrapped in plastic


Recently we have had droughts so hay has not grown much. This year we have had plenty of rain. This means that hay and grass has had a good growing season. This in turn means that there will be plenty of feed for cows.

Maybe yesterday’s bison can eat it.

Grains – Harvesting Before the Rain

Grains – Harvesting Before the Rain

Grains in a hand, found on the road.


According to my watch, and farmers, a storm is coming. That’s why they are busy trying to harvest all the grain before it hits.



At this time of year you can watch the combine harvesters harvesting all the fields and collecting grain. You can then see tractors following up and gathering what they leave on the fields and making plenty of bails.


I can’t focus so I’m cutting this post short.
