Chicken Little is Back, Rain, Critter Chores, Fresh Flowers and We Are Happy Campers!!!

We were out in the front room doing our Bible reading and having coffee when I caught a glimpse of Chicken Little!

She's BACK!!!

Bless her heart! She has been a victim of barn yard bullying! 

That can also be known as 'chicken loving' but she doesn't seem too happy about it!

We thought she was well and happy but we were looking at another chicken that just looked like a healthy Chicken Little! She came back up here on her own so maybe she can stay.

We are only gone for two weeks out of the month.....

At any rate - Louis Dean and I were both ridiculously happy to have her back!

He went right out and put up a ladder against the camper so she would know she was most welcome.

We are on Critter Duty and StepSon Dean called us this morning with the news that rain - heavy rain - was on its way! 

We cut our coffee time short and headed down to tend to the critters!

Just look how BIG those baby goslings are!!

We fed all the ducks in the peacock pen first, then went around to the three hen houses, followed by the coops and cages that we fed and watered.

Feeding the cat came next and then I let the ducks out and we opened the three hen houses so they can free range before coming back up to the camper.

The wildflowers were so pretty that I decided on picking some fresh bouquets

 before the rain rolled in. Great timing!!

We could see it coming and I checked the radar on my iPad.

I gathered what was close and sat at the picnic table making up the bouquets.

The first drops of rain arrived just as I finished!

When you gather wildflowers - just so you know - you gather insects and spiders as well!!

I was glad I made the arrangements outside instead of IN!!

I love our Camper Home!

Then here came the rain!

It lasted over three hours!

I went down to put the ducks up......

and take a nice hot shower and shampooed my hair at Dean and Sherry's place.

Louis Dean walked down with me.

He is such a gentleman.

I fixed our supper of pinto beans, fresh onion slices, cornbread muffins and banana pudding while he went back up to take a long soaking bath. He shut up the hen houses on his way back.

Chicken Little climbed up the ladder and proclaimed this day is done.

We are going to bed this Sunday night as very happy campers!!
