This week's assignment: Starts with C, Favorite, and Colorful.
Starts with C: In researching red CLOVER, I discovered it has many uses. First of all it is a valuable forage crop for livestock, but it also fixes nitrogen in the soil, making it a good cover crop for improving soil fertility. Plus, it has medicinal qualities. Impressive plant.
Favorite: Since I don't have a horse to post, will make do with a CHAROLAIS COW. This one lives in the Westmoreland, Tennessee area. Charolais are the second-most numerous cattle breed in France. The bulls weight ranges between 2200 to 2600 pounds, and the cows 1500 to 2600 pounds. They were introduced to the southern United States from Mexico in 1934. Isn't she lovely?
Colorful: This is also a favorite of mine. Meet Gus. Our CATTLE dog, a.k.a red heeler. He is quite a handsome fellow, especially surrounded by COLORFUL pillows and an afghan CROCHETED by yours truly as a gift for my mother many years ago.
