Ralph the Rare Redhead Turns 31 — Plus a Contest!
Ralph the Redhead turns a month old (at the Celery Farm) today, and to celebrate, Kurt Muenz sent along this great photo (I think that's a bit of celebratory birthday cake on Ralph's bill).
Happy birthday, Ralph. Here's to many more. (Thanks, Kurt!)
For those who don't know Ralph, a column I wrote about him is here.
If you would like to win a free 2016 Celery Farm calendar, e-mail me with the date that Ralph will be last seen at the Celery Farm. (Taking a page from George the Pelican's playbook — at Rob Fanning's suggestion.)
