Tiananmen Square--Courage in Action

This lovely calico cat was abandoned in Irvine and has made a new home with me and Merna. We think she is about four years old. She loves to live inside with us.

In the last seven years, teamster Philip has shown oxen to the more than 300,000 visitors to the Centennial Farm. What do you want to know about oxen? Patches and Freckles weigh 2,400 pounds, teamster Philip is not even close in weight.
