I heard a baby fawn bleating today. We found it nestled in the tall grass and left it alone, hoping that mom would come back.

Darn any idea how long left alone ?

Good morning Café!

Coffee is ready, come have your pick!

Ever since last evening it is raining cats and dogs and according to the weather folks will go on for the entire day and upcoming night.
Rain was long overdue and one can see and hear the relief it brought not only to us humans but nature as well.
So houseworks it is and some peaceful hours on the sofa reading.

Fingers crossed for your DH @pennyJo1960

Another one of my momma hens is preparing to wean her chicks at today exactly 5 weeks old and after laying her fourth egg.

Good morning Cafè and thanks for the coffee @LaFleche.

I have lost two of the shipped chicks and am struggling with a third. I started working with her yesterday morning and fully expected her to have passed overnight but she is still here and actually a bit stronger. So I've got another day of nursing a baby and hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

My head cold managed to get into my lungs and when I realized this early yesterday morning I was a bit concerned for HTG. I texted him and asked him if he was still feeling okay and he assured me he was. Later that morning there was a knock at my door and he showed up with the ingredients to help me make a concoction to help boost my immunity! Man oh man I think I've landed a great one!

Too long. It didn't make it. I wrote more here.

@DobieLover, one of my neighbors suggests mullein tea for chest colds. Should you happen to have any dried mullein leaves around. As far as I know, she's never tried it.

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks for the coffee. @DobieLover keep after it - the cold that is. That last cold I had ended up in my lungs causing a 3 week aggravation. Don't mess around - with the cold. Good luck with the chicks.

Hey good morning Cafe darn I was woke at 7 by dogs.
Brought coffee. DH is doing pretty well thank you!

 

[DobieLover]

@DobieLover keep after it - the cold that is.

Oh, I'll be keeping after the other thing too. He's too good to let slip away that easily.

Don't mess around - with the cold.

Well you're on a regular roll today aren't you Mr. George?

Good luck with the chicks.

Thanks. The third chick that I've been working on shocked the hell out of me not only by surviving the night but also by standing up and eating food that I put in front of her and pecked at with my finger. I had to make a brooder for her! I was not expecting this. I was expecting to keep her comfortable until she passed. She now has a tote, a heating pad, a mirror and a stuffed animal that I stole out of C's room.

Oh, she also has a watcher.
