A summer-like day in October

Another hot and sunny day in October - lots of cutting vines and trimming back forsythia! And discovering that Henrietta (and maybe other chickens) can definitely fly to the top of the 6 ft. fence . . . so we will be adding netting to the top of the chicken yard and in the meantime, the chickens have clipped wings!

Back indoors, Lucy assured me that she knew the chickens could fly that high. "I see them through the window," she meowed, "and just look at my extra long whiskers . . . you can tell I'm sensitive and smart, too!"

Sava was more concerned about who was napping on the top of the cat tower. "I don't pay attention to chickens," he said.

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 . . .
