Critter Chores Day #2 - Saturday

It was another chilly morning here on the ranch and we bundled up to do the critter chores but not quite as much as we did on Friday. The wind was blowing icy cold like it did yesterday. 

It wasn't all that muddy either.

The wild peacock was up on the top looking down at the ones in the pen.

All three of them are sporting fresh new feathers and are such pretty colors.

When we walked down I noticed the baby goats in the garden and then realized all the goats were in there!

So we shut the gates and left them stay since the garden is spent anyway.

Just look at all that salad they can eat!

They were chomping away as happy as they can be.

We did have a fowl fatality. 

One of the pretty black chickens was dead in the hen house that held five of them. 

It may have died a natural death as its eyes were closed and there was no damage done to it.

That particular hen house has a low ceiling so I was pretty proud of myself for picking it up by its feet and taking it out. Louis Dean took care of it after that.

Speaking of Louis Dean - for whatever reason he had a rough night and didn't get to sleep until 5:00 this morning. He said every muscle on him ached. It was from lying on the floor in awkward positions for hours yesterday working on that wiring.

Today he took it easy and worked on organizing his music notebooks.

I forgot to brag on him about something the other day. On that awful I Love Lucy day.

Remember the red spray paint on the toilet seat and porcelain? Well, he got it all off!

Scrubbed it with Comet and steel wool! But guess what? I went in his workshop room looking for a screw driver and he had found some guttering and tin to fix over the camper door where the rain just poured down the other day getting the carpet all wet. He had hung it up in there and spray painted it!

Brown! I asked him why he did that inside the house and he said it was too chilly outside!

I have  requested that IF he insists on painting inside - to keep it in that shop room. NOT the bathroom and certainly not in the front room.

It's been a slow day here and I have rested much of it.

I think I will go out and do some art before bed.

I'll close tonight's journal entry with the most beautiful 'witch' I've ever seen!

Amber and Mike took the kids to a Fall Festival this afternoon and sent me this pic.

And I can't close without wishing my first born a Happy Birthday!

We had planned to be together today but that didn't work out.

She did feel a little better and was able to get out of the house.

I love and admire her so much and we will celebrate next week!

So that's it, folks.

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

Want to share what y'all are up to? 

I would love to know.....
