Baby Chick

While we were gone, I got a text about a baby chick being born. I knew Snowflake was sitting on eggs, but she finally hatched one out. That poor girl has sat on many clutches of eggs and not been able to hatch one baby. She finally hatched one baby out. My friend said she hatched another one, but it had died. But so far, the one baby was doing well. 

Trip

Ronnie and I went to Alaska. Let me tell you, that trip was amazing. Alaska is so beautiful and we had a great time. Randi and Oscar made it that much better. We got to be on the Alaskan water and got to see starfish, jellyfish, otters, sea lions, seals, whales, puffins, common muurs, sea gulls, and a glacier. It was such an amazing boat ride. We also got to see some countryside and other things. it was just amazing. We also got to see Mt. Rainer in Seattle at the airport and Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens in Portland. It was a great trip. We have now seen 34 states in our quest to see all 50 states. I did not get to see the Northern Lights, but that is okay, the trip was amazing anyway. 

Bags Out

I got my suitcase out to pack to go on vacation. Ursula and Oreo know what that means. Neither of them likes that. They both were trying to get into the suitcase. It does hurt my heart to see them being anxious about us leaving, but I also know I need a break. My mental health needs a break. 

Lunar Eclipse

I Did not stay up to watch the lunar eclipse, but my husband did take pics for me. I was excited about that. I was too tired to stay up and watch it, so I was just going to miss it, but I did not have to completely miss it. 

Athena

Athena has been sick. I was not sure what was going on. She did get to the vet and it was decided she had a bladder infection. She is getting antibiotics and she got fluids at the vet. She is still not feeling great, but that went on for a few days, so she is better than she was. She scared me. I thought she was not going to make it. 

Quail

I got to see a bunch of quail in the front yard. It was such a beautiful sight. I tried to get closer, but of course, I scared them off. They all flew across the road. It is not a sight I have seen often. We do have some quail around, but I have not seen that many at one time. 

Funny Sight

I Went out early to feed the animals. I actually went over to see the donkeys and goats since they were all still sleepy. I saw the funniest sight, Ned was using Lucky as a pillow. I remember the time when Ned hated those goats. I am glad they love each other now.
