Yes. I put them in bed every night and lock everything. Now more than ever. Got side tracked with the anguish of Phoebe, that we decided to move the limbs I had cut Friday and Saturday and putting them on a pile the old owner had in the back, Hub found a snake about 3.5 ft long. It was dark gray, small head and seems lighter in the bottom. So, without a permit since is had been very cloudy, we lighted it all up. However, I respect fire. All good and snake tried to get away but Hub slashed it with a shovel and pushed her into the fire. All roasted. Then sat for 3 hours watering it to make sure all fire is out. More motion lights around house and trees near coop and run and ordered more for the whole fence. It gets pitch dark and prefer to have it like a baseball field than had to gun something or I can be gunned down. Change of subject, I suffer from migrane. No meds help but ER. After hitting my head with anything I find, I loose conscience. One time remember driving and the next was in hospital. You need to have a doctor for a plan to fit your needs. Catch you back later with pictures.

@riss, I agree, you should check in with your doctor about your headaches. Did they know about the headaches when you started the anti anxiety meds? Neither condition is easy to deal with!

Take care of your health. For the selfish reason that we like having you around.

Yep. Check with your doctor about the meds you take and possible side effects. I keep a list of both prescription and OTC stuff that I take. I even include vitamins and seasonal OTC allergy pills. I share that list with every doctor that I see. Even the dentist.
It took several years of "experimenting" with diabetes meds to get the right type and dosage for me. It also took a few years to get my heart meds where they needed to be. A recent addition to the heart meds is causing some unpleasant side effects. Two more weeks of this current experiment and I'll be re-evaluated. On the plus side, I've lost 10 pounds since the new med was prescribed. Not sure if it is a side effect or simply going without food.
I'm about ready to chuck all meds and just let the aging process do what is going to do.

Well, another year is in the books. Neighbors had me over for a BBQ rib dinner. It was delicious. Not only did they feed me, they also sent me home with a tonne of left-overs. I have food for a week and scraps for the chickens too. It's a great gift to have wonderful neighbors.

Welp, Juniper got a field trip today. I was trying to move her label (baby hair ties) to her other leg and dropped it. I couldn't find it so she came with to get another one. Actually, two. One for each leg. I wanted to put some positiveness in her outing, so she came to the garden with me. She relaxed enough to take down a few insects (or maybe instinct is so strong that doesn't say anything) but overall she didn't like it. It should go better next time, if there is a next time.

I thought she might stay away from me after her experience but she hopped right up.

They all stayed further away after I put second bands on two more and both bands on one of the two that didn't have any. I hope it is a temporary thing like it was the first time I put bands on.

Second night out in the coop went fine too. I'm counting down the days until I let them out. I visit them, but I don't say hi every few minutes like when they were in the house.

I haven't heard or seen any evidence that the adults are upset by their presence. I hope that continues...

That was a good one

Tomorrow is supposed to be wet in the morning. In the afternoon, I plan to put up the dividing fence in the run, and make a panic door for it. If Friday is nice, I think I'll see if the littles want to learn about the big outside world.

I'd like to get the polycarbonate panels for the run roof. Might not happen until August. We usually go to the Menard's in Ionia. The Ionia Free Fair will be on the next two weekends, so we will be avoiding driving through town. (The most direct route.)

Really want to get the run addition built... Oh, hubby...

He has his projects too.

@Sally PB….how is the integration going? Hope you are finding success.
