bill_schubertMy friends who missed their Italy trip with the passport problem left yesterday on a consolation trip to the Grand Canyon. So I'm watching chickens and cats. And deer. The mornings this time of year are just lovely and it is nice to be able to go out where there is a couple of acres of land to commune:
The deer won't come close but love the corn they get. And the chickens are in major egg laying mode now the light has returned. They went for months with zero eggs and are now dropping half a dozen a day. I've got friends who need eggs fortunately.
And there are two cats that are, well, cat like. I give them treats and fill their food and water and clean their litter. And pat them on their heads.
I'll be back there this afternoon. When it gets darkish the chickens go into their coop. They make it easy.
I've got some watermelon I'll give them tomorrow. Makes for good pictures.
It's kind of like watching someone's baby and they you can give it back to them. They like having me watch the place and it is pretty easy.
