No hurricane this time!

Simon is glad that he just stayed in his hammock and didn't panic about Hurricane Florence . . . apparently she has turned toward the south, completely away from us. Even the yellow alert light on the weather radio has gone off, so we're not worried at the moment!

Cindy and I worked on unfinished chores in preparation for the hurricane - gate hung on the horse run-in, new shavings in the chicken coop, extra food and supplies stocked, a large tree branch trimmed, some old wire fencing taken down.

Those chores were all on our Autumn to-do list anyway, so now we're feeling a little ahead of schedule!

The little chicks are doing well - this little Easter Egger never had a thought of a storm. The flowers in the garden have bent with the wind, but are still blooming up their own storm.

Stay safe if you are in the path of Hurricane Florence or wherever you are!

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Good Morning!

Yum, yum - time for breakfast! And the sun is coming up, too! All of us - even the chickens - hope you are having a wonderful day.

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The sunlight in the tree this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
