Fire update: 95% contained, has stayed within boundaries despite the winds.

Also more family arrived for a visit. Was out with Sherlock when they pulled in. Played sit, stay, go get fetcher a while, then "can we see the chickens?" Sherlock inside, bananas outside. Kids excited...littlest bouncy about feeding, chickens flinched every time an excited jump occurred. Other 3 all were successful in crouching down and getting at least one bird to eat out of fingers, Twirp being the primary on that, but the pullets got in on it too. Snagged Maizie for several someones to pet. She was hiding from Tuff on the roost and complained the entire time. However, kids got good instruction on rooster behavior, tossed treats to them first, learned about NOT petting down a hen's back, and the middle 2 went back out to watch in fascination. The oldest 2 are campaigning for chickens at home now. Dinner tomorrow won't help any: breakfast. We collected eggs and again, kids were asking about why eggs were such different sizes.

Oh, and the littlest is the perfect size for Sherlock to wash faces. They have a dog also...a Springer, so he's not quite as big as Sherlock, but they're experienced hands at face washing and saying "No". Sherlock isn't as experienced at listening to little commanders, but quickly demonstrated he's a Teddy bear if you scratch his chest, belly, ribs, or butt.

And finally getting hummingbird feeders back up. The birds are around and bold.

Do you still ride any of them? Is Lulu a cremello?

That's a great picture - so clear/detailed for a close-up!

Poor Glynda!

She is so squooshed!!

She is so squooshed!!

She could squiggle out of there if she was that unhappy! Maybe she wanted a little mothering herself after all the stress of keeping the littles in check. LadyF is a bit more relaxed/allowing for adventure as a mom than Glynda.

Another great day for the feathered community. (In a Jurassic Park sort of way)

To end my night, here's Tony. Black like the sky at night (ish) and white as the moon (if it's there).

She knew what she was doing. You folks worry too much.

Yep we do!
