Hello again. I've been really busy and blogging has not been on my mind...well, okay, it's been on my mind, but I haven't gotten to it until now. My hen, Beatrice (in above picture) finally hatched two chicks after sitting on two batches of eggs. The first time she didn't have any fertilized eggs, thus didn't receive any babies. She has proven to be determined and kept sitting. However, she didn't lay her own eggs, and since she was sitting on old, rotting eggs, I took some of my other hens' eggs and gave them to Beatrice. I was hoping she would have some hatch, for she deserved some little ones. Thankfully, they did come and she's the happiest hen on the ranch.
Then Mom's cat had two kittens, and a lovey pair they are! The mamma cat is Juniory and the dad, or who we think is/was the dad, the stray T. Cat. (You can see both parents in my blog post titled, "A Pretty May Evening.") I wouldn't be surprised if we keep both kittens even though we don't want too many cats on the ranch.
Dad took us three kids to work on a fence a couple weeks ago, and I had my camera along to get some pictures. So here are a few of them.
Thank you, Dad, for taking this picture. (L to R) Big J., Little J., and myself. |
Thanks, Big J., for taking this picture. |
I love these pictures! Especially the second to last one, under the rock dirt thing, and the one that Big J. took! Great work :)
