In the month that I was blog-less, things puttered along as usual around the cottage. Our chickie babies have grown up and started laying eggs. Some are cuddlers, some are not, most are pretty friendly. We have one that grew up kinda dumb, one that is skittish, those 2 are typically problems when it’s time to be rounded up. But over all, I’m quite smitten with the other 20 or so birds and love to take them treats.
Speaking of treats, Molly had a birthday and Sugarwings made her a special pumpkin, yogurt, chicken cake to celebrate.
She was gifted a new toy that she shared. Sorta. You can tell by her face that she’d rather have it to herself.
Sugarwings had wisdom teeth pulled, and slept on the sofa a few days to be babied by Grams. Dorothy helped me keep an eye on the patient.
So did Bones MaGee. She cheerfully sat nearby Sugarwings during the convalescence.
My eagle sketches were included in a local show.
This one was used to make buttons and postcards to give away.
We took a tour of Monarch Watch at KU to see where Sugarwings interns as a caterpillar pooper scooper. ( Among other jobs there.)
Sugarwings, my buddy, and right hand man, and I went to see the sunflowers in their glory.
The never ending fields of rolling hills in bloom are just breathtaking.
Not so glorious? We spotted a leak in our ceiling, which of course meant a bigger leak in the roof.
Oh well, houses get old, fall apart and need fixed, right? It would hypocritical of me to not appreciate aging things, I do work as an antique dealer, after all. And our mall just celebrated a birthday, with a special evening event and extra day of sales.
So, yep, business as usual during my last month. I make things, hang with the Grandfairy, chill with Rich, the hens, and dogs. The house falls apart, we put it back together. And look around for the pretty things in life to enjoy.
