Pecking Order and All

Friday was craft and baking day. Ms. AM and Mr. M painted, cut and glued to their hearts fill. Afterwards Ms. AN came over and made cookies for Ms. AM's game. The house smelled yummy and Gigi and I enjoyed a cookies with our tea.

Making cookies together to bring home and to Ms. AM's game

While Ms. AM played ball Gigi got to love on Mr. C . It was a very sunny day and we all got quite hot. Good thing we had gateraid and water to sip.

Mr. M gave Bunny some smoochies  in between innings.

Saturday started at 6:30, after checking on the chicks and ducks, feeding the birds and guineas and feeding the pups we were all worn out by 10am. Especially Tesla and Juliette

Little did the teenagers know but later the preteens would be joining them in the big coop.

There was a bit of bullying from the teens to the preteens but all in all they didn't pick on them too much. A little black hen was busying herself at joining the bigger girls while her peers were busy just trying to get used to their new found freedom.

The ducks had fun swimming in the tub and was really quite cute. After sundown it was time for all to go to bed, but there were still some that refused. The preteens didn't know the routine and the ducks don't enjoy climbing the ramp back up into the coop. Preteens caught and moved in and while trying to catch the ducks one tripped and hurt her leg.

I've been calling her sunshine. She has her own private room next to the baby chicks and she seems to be content. She got to bath in the sink and has got a pretty pink cup to hold all her water. Hopefully it won't take too long.

Hubby is mending from his flu-cold and Bunny brought me some pretty flowers today for the not a holiday gift. Thank you Bunny.

Until later, bye

Another Day for Adventures

Today has started out like most Wednesdays. 

Mr. M comes to visit and the chickens and ducks and guineas (we have a neighborhood flock that goes from yard to yard keeping pest at bay) get their morning breakfast and hellos and a little petting, if they will let me.

Baby chicks are still sleeping in their food bowl and puppies are still chasing Mayuka. 

Yesterday we went to a program for Ms. AN. She did a PE program with 50s music and jump ropes and hula hoops. Ms. AN was a hula hooper and I am  amazed at how she walked around hooping and even got down on her knees and then back up again. Before the program though was house cleaning day and pick up Ms. AM from school and grocery shopping. A busy day indeed!

                  

                             


The chicks and ducks got to play outside in the morning but when hubby came home he saw a stray cat. So everyone had to go back in. Poor babies. Then when we got home from the program, the light wasn't on and all the poor babies were at the door waiting for us to turn it on. The game camera didn't take any pictures just 800 file fragments. 

How disappointing. I took these earlier while I was outside.

A gathering of hens means only two things. Visiting or a worm

The pre-teens are almost ready to go in the big coop.

Since everything but dusting has been done, I thought that I would check out a pattern to make, still haven't decided yet, but Ravelry.com has some great patterns and not all of them cost.  Go check it out, its a great resource for patterns in crochet and knitting. So trying to find the perfect pattern to work on. Haven't messed with my needles since I broke my ankle in October except to help Ms. AM. Summer is coming up and I'd like to have something cool and lacy to wear. I'm kind of leaning towards this pattern at Garner Studio

A little later we'll be picking up Ms. AN from school then going to ballet class. Ms. AM isn't going to ballet today she has a baseball game. Here she is last week at her game. Hitting a great ball and her team winning!

Until later, bye.
