Dog. Cat. Bird.

Not much going on here at the ranch. Just settling into our summer routine.

The chickens have taken up semi-permanent residence under the pecan tree. I go out there several times a day to watch them...there's something therapeutic about their small chirps and pecking....unless they're pecking at each other, but that's another issue. (I mean, they're sisters and they share a room and a bathroom. Nuf' said.)

I added a larger run outside their coop for some free-ranging. 


Thank you toonces for bombing that picture. 

And while i'm thanking cats, thank you munch and mungo for helping me with the laundry...


The hens have been growing a bunch. only 3-4 more months to go before they start laying. 

Daisy looks pretty much the same, maybe a touch darker. Sister monica joan's bars are starting to show in her feathers! They're so pretty.





Whenever i go out to the coop, the whole food  chain comes too. 






Love my birds and kitties, but there's only one top dog around here. Ever the faithful shadow, if he's not sitting on my feet, he's standing next to me so close he's touching. How did he get so sweet? I thank God all the time for creating this sweet boy.


I never thought in all my life that i would have 6 crazy animals. God is constantly surprising  me with this life. Boy it sure is hard sometimes, but full of sweet sweet moments. 


Sweet moments and a good old fashioned kitty chase.
