Thanks ManueB!

The younger ones had their first taste of cabbage and didn’t know what to think of it. I guess cabbage was one thing that Sir Jaffar didn’t have time to teach them.

 

[Ponypoor]

Well! The crows where just having a hissy fit, I looked to see what it was and there way you high was a raptor flying overhead. Looked similar to the one flying high up yesterday. When it saw me looking, it soared off.

I really need to clear up my phone - it’s full so I could get any photos.

Soon time to bring in the chooks and horses and chase Eli-too and Butterscotch back inside.

Georgie is not as heavy thankfully

 

[Ponypoor]

I love those shelters and am shamelessly going to copy the design.
Adding it to my (already long) list of projects!

Yes they are wonderful, I will put a couple in the Rooster Run next year.

Give the phone to Butterscotch. She knows how to get rid of unwanted items from your directory

 

[featherhead007]

I just had a tootsie roll pop. It takes more than just three licks to get to the center tootsie roll. FYI

Absolutely not! She already uses the laptop behind my back!

Good idea.

Speaking of roosters, I brought my Wyandottey inside to check him out for bugs and crawling things. He acted so tough outside, but turned into a marshmallow inside.
