Superhero

It was a hot day. I saw Craig with his wings out looking like a superhero or something. I stopped to take a picture of him because he looked so tough. It is the little things around here that make me happy and entertain me. 

The Middle

The Cows are ridiculous at times. They somehow got the middle of the hay bale out of the hay bale. I am not sure how they did that, but they did it. Ronnie watched them do it and said something along the lines about that is like taking the middle out of the cinnamon roll. They did get the middle of that out and then decided to eat on it. it was a funny sight to see. 

Athena

Athena is not a friendly cat. I do think we have all established that. She does not want to petted or picked up and loved on. However, I make her sometimes just so she knows that it is okay to be loved. She has been more tolerant of it lately, so maybe she is figuring out that it really is okay. Athena is a mess. She always has been. 

Big Red

Ronnie went out one night to lock in the chickens. I was looking out the window and saw a chicken who was desperately trying to get into the coop. I laughed out loud. Of course I went out to let her in. It seemed to be it was Big Red trying to get in the coop. She ran into that coop as fast as she could. Now we wait a little while to lock up the coop now. We make sure they are all in there.

Pigs and Rain

It rained so hard one day, the whole day. When does that ever happen? Not often, but it did. We needed it so much. When I got home from work, I knew I would not have to water any of the animals because it rained so much and so hard. I got down to the pig pens and those guys were flooded out for sure. None of the pigs were complaining because it was so hot and humid, the water was cooling them off. I felt bad they were so flooded out, but they are pigs and seemed happy to be in the water and mud. 

Eggs

For some unknown reason, I keep cracking eggs when getting them out of some of the tight places they decide to lay them in. It happens so often that when I am picking up eggs from certain places, the chickens wait for me. They watch and wait for me to crack one. I end up having to laugh about it. This happens almost everyday. 

Craig

Craig has won the ladies over and they know he rules the roost. He is such a pretty rooster. I am glad he is not aggressive with the hens. That makes all the difference. I like to see him up on the fence with watching over the farm. It makes me happy. I did not know how much I liked having a rooster around, but I sure do. Craig is a good addition to the farm. I am going to try to hatch some babies eventually so I can hopefully have another rooster. I may wait until next year, but we will see. I guess it depends on which hen gets broody and when.
