trystinnI wish I had something truly interesting and exciting to report, but its pretty much business as usual around here. Flash, the most beautiful Basset in the world, had a great day at work. New friends brought in their 5 week old baby to take pictures with Flash. They are going to send me a pic and I'll post it as soon as I get it. After work, we dropped in at the feedstore where the employees now know us by name(s) and Flash received treats at each of the stations - register, gas pumps and loading. I finally had to start pocketing the treats before he noticed them.
Its a chilly, rainy evening here, having dropped under 40F about 20 minutes ago. The chickens are tucked away in their coops, warming up under the infrared heat lamps. The ladies are singing their worry song, which prompted me to check the weather report for storms. We could be getting snow soon, but then the forecast was for snow all weekend and we had nothing but sunshine and mild weather.
Our very own Hay Lady, Erin, told us to take an extra bale in our monthly subscription. She's still working off of Autumn's hay harvest and needs to get things cleared out for first Spring cut. Once home, I took the shortest bale of the bunch and wrestled it in the bantie pen. Bonaparte, our Sizzle cockerel, jumped up on top once one of the ladies showed him what hay was good for. Since then, they've been having a blast picking through the hay bale looking for bugs and seeds. Bonaparte has decided the top of the hay bale makes the greatest place to crow ever.
The bunnies are doing well, though we continue to have Houdini events. We really need to get the new fencing purchased and installed soonest. Naughty bunnies. Four years ago I would have despaired of their little escape maneuvers, nowadays I have more faith that they will return in good time, hale and hole.
I'm hopeful for a break in the rain tomorrow to try out the camera on the new Blackberry. I'm dreadfully behind on furkid pic posts.
