So we have gone in search of some animals. Central California has a few animals.
This is not Daisy.
City Horsies. 
I am sure that Hairy MacLairy would be more than happy to visit here though. 
This one is the best indication of the air quality out here. The valley has huge ranges on either side and the smog just hangs in here. I suppose it is a combination of very dry silty soils and the industrial level of residual spray dusts on the surrounding orchards and fields. Not an easy place to breathe.
Oh and I must tell you. (you will be so proud..) I have discovered The Food Channel!!! Woohoo, Iron chef here I come!

I am sure yu must be getting homesick. Them city critters look a bit crestfallen. Enjoy the Food Chanel, it is quite addictive 🙂
They don’t look as fresh and clean as our lot do they! c
I miss too your lovely farm and yes, especially lovely Daisy and cat…. and your stories… Thank you dear Cecilia, with my love, nia
Thank you Nia, not long now.. c
Oh, my, I can just picture you on Iron Chef now – they wouldn’t stand a chance! 🙂 Do NOT like the looks of the smog! I can’t imagine living there! Safe travels coming home!
I would have to practice cutting onions without cutting my fingers though!! c
Hahahaha! My kids love Iron Chef and Pitchin’ In on the Food Network, and then get all of the food toys out to make me scrumptious plastic meals. It’s all training for when they’re bigger, in my opinion. I can’t be the only one cooking around here, forever! Great pics, C!
Absolutely Desi, get those kids in the kitchen asap! c
That is most certainly not daisy. But those cows are happy!
They are dairy cows so at least they get to walk around a bit! c
I think your animals look a bit happier 🙂 Glad to hear you are still having a wonderful time! And be careful with food-related tv, it sucks you in (ahem, Junior Masterchef for me!) :).
Hmm, junior master chef i will find it!! this is my only chance to watch tele so i may as well look at them all! c
There is no such thing as smog in NorCal…you fib you fib! 😉
No, there isn’t darling, I am in Central California, miles and miles from Sacramento where the air is clean and sweet!!
ok ok. I feel better now. 😉
You are so funny.. c
They show the Iron Chef in the UK here too, it’s great fun!
Definitely good for a laugh.. where do they find all those people?.. c
I enjoy the food channel on in the background while I clean or do dishes or whatever. It can be a dangerous time-sucking problem, though!
When in Rome!! c
Consider yourself lucky to have avoided (I trust) the feedlots. They make me cry every time I see those animals puddling around in mud and feces in small pens for their numbers. Daisy -are you listening!!?? Lucky girl!
I drove past one once and had to hold my nose.. dreadful.. c
Very sad to see the cows penned up like that… I loved your horsie picture, though, the flowers in the foreground make it seem like a peaceful place to live… but I bet they’d run away and live with you in a heartbeat!
