Sweet easy closing time tonight.  1 chicken egg 1 duck egg.  Seriously?  I'm getting eggs from a friend, Judy, thank you so much, because of this molt stuff?  And they don't even look like they're in full molt yet!  I better have eggs by Thanksgiving for chicken and noodles, or else!  (I'm sure that'll scare them back into laying.)

I took Jewel and Maezee on their first 4 wheeler ride today.  Jewel was a natural.  However, when we got back to the yard and came close to the fence and she could see Merlin and Maezee she went WILD!  I drove on over to the barn to get her away from them.  And on our way, on the lead, to the house she was acting like a maniac, going to eat those two dogs up!  Then...then she gets to the gate and nose to nose, could smell and see that it was Merlin and Maezee.  She was a little embarrassed, to say the least, and tried to make up for her ferociousness by giving them both kisses.

Maezee was a little more nervous out of the yard and on her lead, but on the 4 wheeler she almost fell asleep on the way back, and I was in 3rd gear, unlike Jewel's ride in 2nd.  I need a basket for them to fit in, it was a little hard for me to hold them on in front of me.

Today we also showed them the front yard for the first time, again, since I brought them home.  They are still too small to go out there and leave them, they can get through the fence.  But I bet in another 2 months they'll be big enough to let 'em run.  I'm pretty sure Jewel will be, she's quite a bit bigger than Maezee.

Another bushel of cucumbers today and no end in sight.
