Just a few quick thoughts for this evening...
1. Why do cats after falling or some other clumsy moment invariably look like they were trying all along to do something else (like scratch or clean themselves, or rub your legs etc)? Today our bright kitty went sailing off the bathroom countertop. Of course she then proceeded to try and make me think it was fully intentional. Too funny! She does this a lot though, so I was only mildly amused by it.
2. I think our alpacas have learned how to turn on the barn lights. We have a weatherized outlet missing its top and the light switch is exposed. This is the second time "someone" has mysteriously turned on the lights!
3. I picked up a 23 lb fresh local turkey today, for a big feast sometime in the next few days. We weren't able to get one for Thanksgiving since we were out of the area, but I ordered one for this season instead. YUM!
4. There is nothing prettier than driving around snowy rolling New England backroads just at nightfall. People have their barn cupolas illuminated and it's just beautiful with the lights of the season glinting all around. We have a cupola too and it really is lovely when I turn on the light. Too bad no one can see ours (well, maybe the neighbors can). I think all barns should have one. I think I may go on a cupola photography binge.
5. Our fish have gone back in the tank and seem MUCH happier. We're hoping for it to stabilize and introducing some cleaner crew in about a week.
6. The egg count is being restarted. The storms of the last two weeks threw it all out of whack. We think we've gotten 48 eggs in that time though. The storms may have disrupted us, but not so much the hens!
7. Last, but not least, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone reading! Enjoy the time with your loved ones!
We'll be back with more soon!
