I feel like I have never seen that view before. How wonderful.I planted yesterday so naturally last night it rained.
It's still dampish this morning but one of the things I like about where we have our chicken coop is I can stand @ my end living room window & check on my girls

Kitties!
they look so happy, like a cat should.
Watering is like meditation, with the added advantage of seeing how your plants are doing.Yep. Run work done for today. The girls are out & I'm about to go water the garden.
Sounds like you are going to be very busy prepping for Autumn/Winter Shad.It's getting on for autumn here and all the wildlife have got winter shelter on their minds....apart from the hens of course who don't seem to be able to think further than babies at the moment.
Loads of little spiders have appeared in various corners. I catch as many as I can before I vacum but quite a few get sucked up.
Mrs Badger is coming around earlier. She's after the walnuts, trying to get a bit of fat on for the winter.
Tribe 2's coop floor is covered in feathers again. I cleaned it out a couple of days ago and you cant see the floor now.
Donk's tail feathers are growing in at last and she's eating more. No sign of Treacles tail feathers growing back yet, or his dads. Mag from Tribe 2 has a very stumpy looking rear end currently. His tail feathers went when something grabbed his arse a few weeks ago. He's got a good thick clump growing back in now. I need to do his spurs. I felt them with a finger while he was eating this evening and they're too sharp for the hens now, not that he's showing much interest in any bar Lock.
Lots of minor coop repairs to get done. Going to have to make do with the peeling ply on the roofs for the winter and cover them with butile sheet.
I really appreciate it when the weather is nasty. I can do a quick check without getting cold & sodden. Of course it's not as good as getting up close & personal.I feel like I have never seen that view before. How wonderful.
That's really beautiful Jehane! I need to get busy on a quilt I'm knitting for my grandson! I had to stop because of tendinitis in my elbow. It's feeling better know, so hopefully, I can get it finished!We had 2 days straight on the mainland.
Lots & lots of waiting around ~ which for some reason is miles more exhausting than actually doing something.
I got in lots of crocheting.
It's called the virus shawl!

Sad to say they were super relieved when the little ones vacated the premises. YGC would scream & run @ the cats & Kirby just wouldn't come anywhere near her. He wouldn't even come in the house @ night until he knew she'd gone to bed. Marlow would hang round but YGC is the only person I've eve known that cat to hiss @. He's normally very laid back & affectionate with everyone. They were only just coming round to the Little Man when the family departed. I tried & tried to get the girl to be calm & quiet because the cats would have come to her if she was but, nope. Scream & run was the order of the day.Kitties!
Thanks, Rene. It's a dying art along with knitting & sewing yet a quiet meditative pastime & it keeps my hands busy & my mind occupied when I have to travel a lot.
That is so true and so sad! I learned to crochet from my grandmother & mom! Then I learned how to knit from my sister in law! I go through spells, where I do a lot of needle crafting to not so much...I have a short attention span...Thanks, Rene.
