I thought Tiny was your "Loca" Cyn.

You have 2 of them?

Loca laid seven this year and Chica none.

Chica seems to be going on strike may be because she didn't get to go to the beach with Tucker!

My dishwasher is in Milwaukee working on a big bridge project that may last for over a year - I really miss him

(so does the cat, he feeds her Tuna every day). Since he also mows, the lawn is looking pretty ragged.

Feels like it's going to be cooler today. I sure hope so, I'm sick of the heat! (although my cucumbers and melons are blooming)

Are cucumbers are only an inch tall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 3 at Mary's house.

Jack decided to give me the cold shoulder.



Finally the lure of oats got him to come down. But Diana was nowhere to be seen. I opened the gate and was getting ready to hoof it across the pasture and I saw her. I called to her and I learned one thing.............you don't want to get between Diana and food! I didn't think that little donkey could run that fast!

On the check to the chickens, I saw that Lukka had been ousted from her nest and another Icelandic had taken her place. I knew Mary wanted the Brabanter eggs under Lukka, since she is a seasoned broody. (the other one is not) So I did an egg swap and switched them around. I reached underneath and I felt a chick! One Brabanter has hatched and 3 others are pipped.

I resisted the temptation to stick the chick in my pocket and bring it home.

I know Mary is dying to see these chicks, so............here is Lukka (wonder mom) and her baby.





And the broody thief, trying to steal Lukka's babies.

Lost my own Brabanter hen over night. I only had one. The dog somehow pushed into the pen the other day and I don't know how long he was running around in there; although she looked uninjured she wouldn't stop trembling- I did all I could I guess it was just shock.

I'm sorry Rinda.

No because it's too pretty to put icky pans and stuff in - I'm probably the only person without a dish washer. I would want to just admire it as a piece of artwork.

I have a dishwasher I never use - would rather do them myself!
