Shake Your Beard Thing

I was saving this for later but today seems to be Aurora's day. Check out her beard in this video.

Spectacular! Love this!

WoW! Very neatly done Bob. My heart was in my mouth as you rounded the corner and as she went through the arch. I thought she'd do a runner again!

Did you use a stick to "extend" the length of your arm?

You can! I’ve been known to corral them with a rake in one hand and ball throwing stick (for dog) in the other!

Oh my gosh! What an adventure! Well done. And thank you for recording it! Ester id the one I have trouble with in this regard. Super stressful!

Looking back I was surprisingly calm. I just executed in what I thought would work and mostly it did,. It really was a nice break from work.

I was recording because I was certain something ridiculous would happen. I would fall, she would run between my legs, or some ridiculous flying hen falling Bob combination. I wanted to catch it on film.

It’s 8:49 pst here, and still 102f ( I’m worried about the chickens in the barn/coop.

So sweet. Just like my Bridge! She’s five and still lap sits. Here she is sitting on my shins this past weekend.

Bridge is a real beauty.

Is there a fan in the coop? I will be setting my coop fan up tomorrow.

I use a corn broom sometimes. But of course it is never to hand when the Princesses go walkabout.

Good night peeps.

yes, but can I count on it? I’m not sure
