Tuesday, September 11, 2018

A day of many memories for the whole world.  May you all have peace today.

We had an adoption yesterday! Ximanga went to her new home and she now lives in Canada with an awesome mama!  She has a cat friend and a dog friend. I've already heard back and it sounds like Ximanga is doing good.  Her new name may be Myah. She played in a bowl of water yesterday and nearly emptied it all.  A super sweet kitten.

We had a bit of a problem yesterday morning. We've been trying to get the dead branches cut out from the edge of the woods that border the Covies playground.  Yesterday, two large branches fell down and landed on the fence. One section was ripped open clear to the ground. We also had three of the fencing areas around the spring arms damaged.  But...zip strips saved the day.  I called the tree company and explained what happened.  They are going to try and be here today. I sure hope so. We have to protect our Covies and hat means getting all thoe dead branches and trees away from the fence.

I have thanks to give. I am humbled beyond words for all of you so very kind folks.

I feel that I do not have all the names on paper, for which I apologize.  For those that I've missed, please don't hesitate to email me. 

Farm update: the guineas are half grown and are out day and night now. They sure are noisy.  The baby ducks are almost as big as their mama. Lots of ducks quack talking going on.  Harriet, the newest goose, bosses us everyday! She is people-bonded. Apples are dropping on the ground--we toss a few to the horses each day. The Barnie cats are wonderful. They now inter-mix with the firecats.

Barnabus and Jones are friends! Jones has given much comfort to Barnabus. And this is good as it gives him courage. He needs this courage because tomorrow Barnabus will be adopted. This is a good home that is eager to show him love--just what he needs. 

We will also have two adoptions on Saturday. Two of my favorites (but, aren't they all?!!), Clowey and Pow Wow will be going to their new home together.  I believe that adoption will be around 8:00 am. 

Today is BOXES at 3:00!
