GREETINGS
Another beautiful day is in store for us . I am spending the afternoon sorting a fleece at my friends, Jane and Harry’s farm with the rest of the spinning group. What fun.
THE NEW HEN
The other night I went to close the side yard hens up and she was not in her nesting area as usual. She was walking around the Caravan looking in. Then she walked to her house and up ran Rosie who hadn’t been so nice to her, they both look into the house and Rosie walked back to the caravan and hoped in. Along comes Gladys and she walks up and jumps in too..
I learned early on with chickens that they do things in their own time. They have accepted her and she is an equal with them. All is good in the side yard. Hazel and Mrs. Brown have return outside in the dog house and will remain there till till the middle of September when they will come in for the winter.
THE RAINS
I thought I was prepared for the rains, Chris redug the ditch and I dug up near the barn door but late Tuesday night when i went into the barn it was raining downstairs again and the water had come through the barn again. I had a complete meltdown, I was so worried I would lose the hay. Lauren, Tyler and Charlie came over the next morning and we moved the hay. Only 6 or so bales were affected and I was able to save a portion of them. The barn is drying out and the problem should be fixed soon.
A NEW MEMBER JOINS THE FLOCK
While moving the hay around Lauren noticed this little guy in the sheep area. I have seen him when he was quite smaller in the garden. I have name him King Ferdinand he is the biggest toad I have seen here. He was escorted back to the garden .
Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you so much for reading my blog. Carole
