Mondays. Again.

Janiece, our new farmhand, is here clearing out the coops. Thank Gods. Unfortunately, I've been fighting off a migraine and I've taken a Vicodin in hopes it will both cover the pain and still allow me to function.

I've sold both Mischief Makers (the mottled bantam Cochin cockerels) and an older Blue Swede to our favorite restauranteur. I've managed to catch the two chickens, but not the duck so once Janiece is done with the coops, we'll nab her. (Update: caught) We'll be delivering them this evening.

That creates a slight breeding snag - I could use those for breeding Frizzles (Cochins, specifically) but I'm counting rather heavily on at least one of the smooth or regular-feathered adolescents to be a cockerel. *cross fingers*

We had an awesome weekend. Josh was able to fix the roofing on the West Wing that was blown off during our last windstorm and shampoo the meditation room carpet. I'm thrilled with that progress. Speaking of which, Hobo and Fudge are making friends, though slowly. Hobo has learned the great advantage of sleeping with the Bassets for heat. Though there is some wariness once I grab the camera.



I'll be taking pictures of the bantam chicks hatched this summer and posting them this afternoon.

Aw, now that is just two piles of cute, right there!

Flash profoundly adores himself and everyone around him does, as well. Therefore, he is always availing himself of the opportunity to offer himself to everyone - strangers, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc.

Hobo is slowly falling under Flash's spell. I imagine there will be many snuggling pics to come.
