The Best Part of the Day

I had to get up early and be at work right after the sun came up. I am not much of a morning person. In fact, I really cannot stand the morning, but once I get out of bed, I am okay. It is the initial getting out of bed thing. It does not work well for me. Anyway, going to work early is not fun, but as I walked out the front door, all I could hear was Craig crowing away. That made my day. My mood turned around right then. Thanks, Craig. Keep on crowing. 

Where’s Banana?

I have not seen Banana in a very long time. I am sure he ran off, or at least I am hoping he ran off while the coyote was around. I am hoping he will come back now. I am so sad I have not seen him. I am sure missing that cat. He may not want me to be around him, but I sure want him to be here and be safe. I want to yell come home Banana, but I do not know where he is. 

Hopeful Death of Coyote

When we got home from Arkansas and got all the animals taken care of, I went to take a shower while Ronnie got food together. We were both very tired from the trip. As I got out of the shower, there was a chicken in the front yard, I could hear it outside the window. Then it started making a funny noise. I don’t know how I knew, but I knew that coyote was out there. I ran and told Ronnie the coyote was out there and he did not question it, he just ran and got the gun. Let’s just say I have not seen the coyote again and I have not lost anymore chickens, so hopefully the coyote is dead. I feel terrible saying that, but I do not want to lose anymore chickens. 

Family Time

Ronnie and I had a lot going on in Arkansas with family this weekend, so we went to Arkansas. We got to see kids and grandkids and all kinds of people. We saw our friends also. It was a good trip. 

Rainbows

You cannot beat a beautiful rainbow out here in West Texas. Maybe it is because the rainbows are usually over the horses and the big red barn. It just makes the rainbow look so pretty over the farm. I love to see that sight. It does not rain out here a lot, so when it does, I usually look for that beautiful rainbow. 

Storms

It may be summer, but we have had some summer time storms. Those do cool things off for a bit. I am so grateful when that happens. It gets so hot out and things need to be cooled off. Things also need to be watered like the grass and all that stuff. The animals enjoy it when it rains. I know I do, too. Moods sure do change when a storm comes through. 

Another Chicken

I came home from work and found another pile of feather from another chicken. It is so depressing knowing there is a predator out there hunting your chickens and you cannot find it. We have called people to come help and they were supposed to, but never heard from them again. We have not seen the coyote again, but I know it is the coyote, I just know it. I do not know which chicken it was, but she is gone. I just hate it.
