1 chicken egg.  As I was walking the yard this evening before closing time, as I often do, to look over the flock, I noticed a black sexlink hen that has grown spurs!  I had to come inside just to Google that.  I thought only roosters grew spurs.  Nope, come to find out, some hens do, too.  I picked her up to take pictures but she was camera shy and I'm not good at holding a hen under one arm while I'm trying to hold the camera in the other hand.  I did get pictures of her while she was still on the ground, but those aren't as fun.  It always amazes me how soft their feathers are, and she didn't mind being petted.

Merlin, Maezee, and Jewel love to come inside to get held, scout out what's in Merlin's food bowl, and run through the house as fast as they can, a few times, today was no different.  Jewel always has to grab and run.  Today she wasn't coming back to the kitchen in her normal time, so I came looking, to find her trying to get up on the bed.  I see what's in store for the cold winter nights.  3 dog nights.

I skipped the garden today.  I'm sure there's more cucumbers waiting.  However, I picked 2 black krim tomatoes from a volunteer that came up in the nasturtiums.  BLT's for breakfast.

Good night owl.
