Chickens are smarter than we think!

Possum climbed almost to the ceiling . . . to help dust the top of the cabinet, no doubt!

Chickens are smarter than we think - sharing this link from Rikki's Refuge website . . . and yes, we will be putting at least two of our smart chickens, Trudy and Verna, to work - they will choose the winning raffle tickets at the end of May. Entries for the Great Sock Raffle, with its grand prize of $100 Dunkin' Donuts gift card are now being accepted - all entries are due by May 30. Check the most recent issue of News & Notes for details.

And on this Maundy Thursday, something else to ponder, from William Blake's poem Holy Thursday: " . . . cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door."

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 . . .
