Ondra’s special house chickens survived her absence last week (she stayed with her friend in Tacoma area for 10 days). Phew! I didn’t want any of them dying on MY watch. Those Seramas are so delicate. And Buckeye, her MOST special of all the pets she’s EVER had, cannot run out of water, otherwise, he will have a seizure if he drinks too much water at one time. So I was anal about making sure he had water at ALL times. Between Eric and I, we kept everyone alive.
Last week and this week has been really rainy. I know that is good for the soil, and heaven knows we need the rain, but it also creates MUD. We live in a pocket of private land surrounded by Wenatchee National Forest. The nearest paved road is 4 miles away, so when it rains heavily, the road gets MUDDY. We did have a nice day last week, however, and I went for a walk…
