I got up and went outside to feed the chicks. I was able to see all the cats while I went outside. They were actually getting along, so that made the morning even better. 

The sky was gorgeous. What a great way to start the day. When we start the day with a positive attitude, it will help you for the rest of the day. 

Ursula, of course, ran outside as I was unloading groceries. She is something else. 

I stopped by a friend's house and saw some of their beautiful flowers. I stopped to take some photos because they were so beautiful. We do need to slow down and enjoy the things in our lives; in this day, we are all too busy. 

The animals were all good today. 

Ronnie sat at the event all day today. He set up the remainder of the booth. 

After feeding and watering, I made some rocks for the event we do every year. This year we are painting rock to help others smile because life is so hard at times. It will be fun.

As I went out to feed the chicks, I looked over and saw Gus and the girls all wrapped up in the torn-up sunshade. I had to look several times to see if they were all there, and they were. They were all cuddled up staying warmer since their shelter is full of water. It was 66 degrees outside. The other pigs were pretending they did not get fed, but I know they were just trying to get an extra meal. 

The donkeys and cows were up and about. 

The other donkeys and goats were still being lazy in the barn. 

I saw the weirdest bird while I was at work. It was a baby of some kind, but i have no idea what it was. I stared at that thing way too long trying to figure it out.

I set up part of my booth for this weekend in the evening, so Ronnie fed the animals. I was grateful he was home and able to do that. The little things in life are just as important as the big things.

The cats are all home in the morning. I saw them in the afternoon as well. 

The pigs are so funny. If you just sit and watch them, you will laugh out loud. If you are in a bad mood or having a difficult day, watch the pigs, they will make you laugh. When you are having a difficult day, find something to make you smile to turn the day around. 

One of the chicks who had never jumped out before, jumped out today. She somehow got stuck in between the shop and the coop. I was stressing. I had no idea how I was going to get her out of there. I went to go get Ronnie to help me get her out of there and by the time we got back, she had figured it out and was on her way out of there. I have no idea how she got out of there. When she got out of there, I cuddled with her. I cannot say she was too thrilled about it. 

I also somehow ended up with a chick on my head. The chick did not want to leave my head. 

I had to count the chicks when I got them all back into the coop. I did get them all back in there. I thought I was missing one, but I was not missing one.

The sky was full of pink and purple looking clouds as I went outside. Sometimes I just stand there in awe of how pretty it is. I do not think I will ever be able to live in a city again after being spoiled to the pretty views of the country life. 

I saw all the donkeys surrounding the pig pen. I found that weird, but everyone was fine. 

Of course, I get greeted every morning with a chicken flying up on my shoulder. I do not think they realize I am still have asleep and sometimes it startles me, even though I am expecting it. 

May's foot is looking better. Whatever growth that was on her foot is now gone. I think that is a good thing. She is putting more weight on it, and she is getting better. I still cannot believe that happened. She is healing nicely though. 

I saw Athena and Onyx as I was out feeding the chicks. 

I saw a small hummingbird in the tree, probably waiting for me to leave so it could get some nectar. 

The sunrise was so pretty. I had to stand there and watch it for a bit. 

Ursula is being such a brat these days. She wants whatever Oreo has and even kicked him out of the bed he has been sleeping in. She is being ridiculous. Jealousy is never cute. 

I did finally see Yeller in the evening. He is starting to do like Jelly did. When he comes from the pasture, he will meow to announce his presence to everyone around. He wants everyone to know he is there. 

The other animals are all doing okay. 

I did get to spray the horses down. There may not be too many more days of spraying them down. They do love that. 

Looks like someone or something is taking revenge on Jeb. He has a nice size cut to his forehead. I did spray the cut and put some peroxide on it. He hated every minute of that. 

The hornets have been so bad. I even found some nests in the tree. Good grief. 

The pigs are still enjoying their water. That will end soon, and we will start having to use straw in the pens and they will stay there for the winter most of the time. 

Gus and the girls have made the entire shelter be another mud hole. Ronnie is going to have to put a barrier up to keep the water out soon. I did already do that once and someone demolished it. 

Yeller was up against the house. I looked closely and saw he had a cactus needle in his chin. Luckily for me, I was able to remove it without incident. 

More and more of the chicks are jumping out. I find it hilarious. 

I looked outside later and saw the most beautiful clouds. I had to go out and get pictures of them. There was some lightning going on also.
