Ive been so busy at work, but it's a good busy. I received a promotion today. I'm now 1 of 2 Vault leads. Basically we sell 1.3 million dollars a month and there was 1, now 2, persons involved in the inventory and quality control for all of these products. I put 12 hours in today and walked over 10,600 steps. I'm tired but oh so happy where I work. This has been one of the best things to happen for our family.

Congratulations!

I'm so pleased your new job is working out so well for you. Hopefully that will help you feel better physically as well. And the zinnia is lovely!

Good evening everyone

Such a pretty flower thanks for posting.

We all know you're the animal whisperer.

She sure is!

Don't forget Phyllis found her own nest in the old flower box.

That's correct. She also laid in the brush pile for a while too.

We shall see if she goes back there. Mrs BY Bob asked me to remove it from the deck the other day. I may have to do so before winter arrives.

I don't know whether to laugh or be distressed or just go blinking hysterical. I went to let the girls into their run this morning so happened to be round when this latest piece of lunacy took place. At present I have both Wrold & Ceres sitting. They have taken the middle 2 nesting boxes in the big coop. Luna is one of the few hens laying in the big coop & naturally she usually lays in one of the 2 middle boxes. She came out with everyone else, had a look @ the small coop then took herself back to the big coop & upstairs to lay. Naturally the boxes she wanted were occupied. She tried the end one but there is obviously something wrong with it. She had a look @ Wrold's box but even when she's not broody Wrold is not a hen to mess with. Luna moved on. Ceres is feisty but she is young & way down the pecking order. Luna moved in on her. Ceres wasn't budging. She hunkered down but Luna is a big hen & her wrigging & jiggling pushed Ceres farther into the corner, exposing 2 eggs. Luna was on them like a shot, tucking them neatly under herself while poor Ceres watched. I now have Luna tucked in on top of Ceres, Luna has both fake eggs, Ceres has @ least 2 real ones. I wouldn't mind Luna brooding but I don't want her trying to share with Ceres. It's so unequal! What is wrong with these hens. In all her born days Luna has never once shown any interest in going broody but suddenly she is stealing a broodie's eggs!
I go for the real ones on Wednesday so I hope the girls have sorted themselves out before then.

No worries!

Dust bin first. I thought perhaps it would work because it will always be dry. But maybe things sound funny in there?

And the wine barrel. Ivy squeezes in but she gets out again. I think it's too shallow. She might like it once I taken more of the soil out.

That’s a great old dustbin. Do you think it would heat up during summer? If you have any of those wonderful leafy branches left to cover it with they may provide more protection from the sun and dampen any echoes.

I wonder what the hens would think of it if it were half covered in soil? That would make it a chicken cave I suppose.
