Today was gardening day. After a long winter, and several chickens scratching in the bark, the gardens need a little TLC. While I spent most of the day weeding (yes, already), the chickens and rooster were sticking their heads into the watering can to get a drink. Shirley spent at least an hour chasing a particularly wily butterfly who seemed to be juuust out of reach, even with superb stalking skills. The goats have found a tasty new patch of grass in a previously un-visited corner of their pasture. Later, when it got hot in the sun, Gibbs relaxed in the shade on the play structure. Bella spent the day on perimeter patrol and chasing the bunny across the yard. She also relaxed after a run, in the pool we put out for her with clean water. Earlier, she had flopped down in a mud puddle.
All in all, a good day. Even remembered the sunscreen.
