Pasture Notes

Well today was the last day of School for Cora. It was a half day so she is home already. I am still working at the school, getting the new clerk trained and caught up. I will probably be spending most of the next couple of weeks helping her as there are some really hard projects due in June. Hopefully the girls and I will get to some convention - don't know which yet.

Our baby ducks and geese are all doing great. The baby geese seem to be bigger every day, but they still come running to me at night when I call them to lock them up for the night. I need to get my digital camera charged up and then I will figure out how to post a few pictures for you all to see.

Hopefully the Buick will be out of the shop today - they had it out for a test drive when I called. The old van developed an awful thump, bang when stopping yesterday so for right now we are down to George's truck for transportation. I don't know what is wrong with the van yet - hopefully nothing to major, but it sounds like it is breaking apart.

All for now -
Becky

Pasture Notes, Wednesday June 7, 2006

Tonights Bible study was at North Crow as the ladies have gone to Devon for convention. The study was on 2 Chronicles 24 - Josiah. George stayed home as he was wore out from working every day this week. A lot of us were coughing and hacking, stupid cold just won't go away.

This afternoon we started finding baby chicks, but no Mama Hen. Finally Cora found Mama Hen in a closet in the camper. We never noticed the door was open, but she sure found herself a nice hidey hole! She has 7 or so hatched already and a bunch more eggs. We might have to take the eggs away if they don't show signs of life pretty soon. The Red and Black hen under the juniper has also hatched some chicks, 5 I think. Her's are all black except for one grey one. Mama duck still has 10 babies and we are continuing to keep her in the "killing pen" for safety.
