Rain! I got rain last night! It smells nice but I'm not looking forward to walking on the wet earth. It really stacks up on the bottoms of your shoes!
I keep getting taller and taller... which would be a good thing... if it didn't make such a mess!
We need the rain though, so I'm not complaining.
On another note... a sad one. I'm not looking for sympathy but I need to talk about my broken heart just a little bit.
I had to cull one of my very favorite hens yesterday. She was coughing/sneezing and not eating and standing in the corner. She was so beautiful. When she was a chick, I would sit on a chair out in her pen and she would jump up on my lap so I could pet her. That's been a long time ago now but she was still the most beautiful hen in my yard. Every time I walked by she would catch my eye... I'd check and say, "yep, it's Kephtzibah, who else would it be?" But I checked my records and I have a couple daughters from her, several grand daughters this year and one son this year too so hopefully I haven't lost her altogether. I dug around til I found a picture of her last night; she is my new avatar. It might take me a while to get over her, I've been weepy off and on since the night before last. I'm really going to miss seeing her out there.
