trystinnSynapsepi and her son came over to play a bit today, so we were able to each make a biddy doll and attempt to make Brigid's crosses out of corn husks. Bad idea that. Messy idea, really. After trying several different sets of directions, I gave up. The biddy dolls, however, look great. They are drying on top of our woodstove for the night.
Doodle is now very much in love with Synapsepi's little boy, from whom he stole a banana. Poor Flash was broken hearted that he could not get some banana and basset guilt did ensue. Libby had a marvelous time stalking the little guy and is now passed on on top of the cable box. Gracie, not to be left out, herded him into the sofa. Thankfully he was a very good sport about it.
The chickens were a very big hit with the toddler, especially because we could let him run about in the bantam pen and touch the little chickens. Imp, gratefully, was on her best behavior and didn't peck anyone. Napoleon even allowed himself to be admired by Synapsepi. In the big coop, Big Blue was re-introduced to her, she hasn't seen him since before his sex change I don't think. The new ladies were introduced and I managed to confirm that Onyx, our black Cochin hen, is once again brooding. I may tuck a few Silkie eggs under her at some point. Decisions. Decisions.
