Craig

Well, Ronnie and I got a new rooster. He is not exactly new, he is 7 years old, but he is ours now. His name is Craig. He is a beautiful rooster. I have missed having a rooster on the property and it sure made my heart happy to have him crowing this morning when I went outside. It sure did make my heart happy to hear him. He seems to be fitting in well. Some of the hens were a little mean and trying to beat him up, but he is fine. He has been hanging around the other hens and looks like he will be fitting in well. I am so grateful to have him here. 

Exotic Wildlife

I ended up going and seeing some exotic wildlife. I have not seen things like that before. They are such beautiful animals to see. I was mesmerized by what all I was seeing. I did not have any idea what some of those things looked like. It was an experience for sure. I bet I will go back again and see them. 

Rainy Weather

We had more storms coming in. These animals do change their behavior when the weather comes in. I enjoy watching them. It sure is pretty out here with the clouds rolling in. I like to watch it all coming in. It does not happen too often around here, so I choose to enjoy it when it does. 

Coyote

I think the coyote is still around, even though we have someone out looking for it. I noticed another pile of feathers. It just makes me sick. I am hoping this will all end soon. I am not sure which chicken, but I do think the coyote took another one. If not, then there are a lot of feathers laying around. 

Alex

Alex was lying down eating with his face in the hay bale. It was something to see. I went over and laid on top of the hay bale and Alex gave me some attention. It was a cute little moment. I sure do love that cow. He puts up with me. Jasper for whatever reason is still not allowing me close to him. 

Cross in the Sky

As I went to work, I have still been having some difficulty with things. Life can just get complicated sometimes and it can be hard. I saw a cross up in the sky. I had to look at it a couple of times and by the time I got a picture, it looked a little blurry, but it did a world of good to my emotional state. 

Takua and Spots

Saverine’s children seem to be doing fine. They have accepted she is gone, even if I am still having a difficult time. They do not go around that pen anymore, or look for her, so I know they know she is gone. They are moving on and not looking back. I am glad they are doing okay. It is hard on us humans, but animals understand it and move on better than we do.
