I Think It Might Be One Of Those Months!

I just gotta share today's story with ya!  All is going pretty well with the chickens as you can see from this post The Fantastic Four.   There are only minor teething problems, like my panic if I can't see all four!  Lavender. . .who for some reason in my head I keep calling 'Marigold'. . . is hanging out with the others but she does disappear and find quiet. dark places to snooze. . . so I have a panic until I find her.  Other than that they are all four very good, happy girls.
          Yesterday I did loads of gardening . . .too much, I mowed, I pruned, I dug, I weeded, I edged and generally wore myself out.  I never, well hardly ever sleep on the sofa during the day.  It is like a once a year occurrence!  Today I felt really cold and grotty and nodded off on the sofa to sleep.  If I nod off in the day it is for a maximum of 10mins. . . today I was asleep for an hour!  I could hear 'pitter pattering' when I woke up!  I thought it was the dog.  I sat up very groggy and was faced with two chickens staring at me and the TV!  I was very confused and alarmed as I do not trust the dog not to hurt the chickens by accident.  I scooped up the two and found another in the kitchen!  I ran outside, Lavender is the only chicken that was not house reared she was still outside.  While I snoozed, the dog had kindly opened the gate for the chickens leaving them to wander at their leisure.  I must say the two in the living room looked very happy in front of the TV they used to watch it a lot when they were babies and spent their first six weeks in the living room.  It is only day one of September. . . I do wonder what other tales I will have to tell!

  2. Oh that was so funny, Lucy. If (when) I fall asleep the worst I can expect is a mouse gummed to death by old cat Rosie. Carol xx

  5. Oh my goodness.. one thing I haven't done was have chickens in my house watching TV. LOL!! We still don't have an egg from these 5 chickens.. when we walked by their henhouse today I said.. "Stew pot!" Do you think that will help? ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  7. I similarly had a nap yesterday, but it was a birthday party for Sophie that wore me out, gardening has far more kudos for making you have a nap! Glad the chickens were ok, I always worried they'd do a massive poo in the house if the chickens were allowed in, they always seemed to do it in the kitchen!!

  8. Ha ha Lucy that must have been a surreal moment! You deserved a rest by the sounds of it what with all those early mornings on chicken watch and all that gardening! Anyway I'm going to share an inappropriate animal in the house story.
    Few years ago we had a family of hedgehogs living in our garden, there were eight babies. One night I had a phone call from my eldest son (we were away) who in hushed tones from his top bunk informed me that he had been woken by a rustling sound and when he peered over the side of his bed had seen one of the not so small baby hedgehogs rooting around his socks! Hilarious!!!!!
    We cut the corner off our garden gate so the hedgehogs could roam a bit further afield, and apart from the odd spine I haven't found another one indoors!
    Enjoy the rest of the holiday, well the afternoon. Don't work too hard tomorrow. x

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts.
