Enchanted by the celestial masterpiece above 🎨🌖

I caught a wolf on camera.
Oh fine, it's a very large dog, I'd almost swear Coy from out the road had gotten loose.
With my stray cat colony, any dog in my yard is very bad-and I didn't do a head count this morning.

I'm reasonably sure that's not a coyote, it acts pretty domesticated.

Thankfully, the littles didn't start being noisy until nearly 8 am.

Just before noon, Badger and I escaped.
We took a walk down to the Methodist Church.
It was warm enough.

In the tree by the Presbyterian Prayer Garden was a kettle of vultures or buzzards.
It was eerie.
I assume something was dead, but where I don't know.

There were a lot more than Badger was able to catch.

Then by the Methodist creek was a deer, and that thing was weird.
It stood, without moving, for a good five-ten minutes.
Maybe that's just what deer do, freeze, I don't know.
I halfway think I could have gone up and petted it.
No, I would not try that.
Badger likes to tell me about one of those survival books she reads, and the guy got a deer mad, it crushed his chest.
Apparently, deers are jerks.

Raven and crew took off at 12:30 pm-and got back at 4 pm.

They were gone when Badger and I got home.

Cowboy was asleep, and Heron had to work, so Badger and I found some dinner, went to our respective bedrooms.

Cowboy finally woke up around 3 pm, got the chickens fed, and started fixing the faucet in the tub.
It was the right one, but he had to reverse the hot and cold water, so showers are going to be interesting until we get used to that.

Raven took the boys outside, but left Vier with Cowboy

Eventually, Cowboy sent Vier outside to be with her daddy.
He wanted to eat his supper in peace.
The poor man lives on canned beef stew on the weekends.
I'm sure that's not good for his blood pressure.

Raven and littles roamed back in before dark, Raven took himself to his room.
He always leaves his littles with Cowboy.

Have you seen that moon?
It's right pretty, Badger took a picture of it for me.
I think that's Venus or Saturn or something beside of it.

Tomorrow will be another long day, Raven has started keeping the littles until 4 pm.
That really doesn't give us very much time for cleaning up after they leave.
You do have to clean up because, I mean, food is hidden everywhere.
Some of that food is toxic to dogs and cats.

Cowboy's baby sister turned 62 yesterday, I always think that she was a groundhog baby.
I got that wrong every year, wished her a happy birthday a day late.
I am now older than she was when she died, she's been gone eight years.
That's just hard to believe.
She had her faults, but I really liked Cinco.

I think I'll head back to my room, I actually managed to sit in the living room and blog on the computer.
I slapped my noise-cancelling headphones on, gritted my teeth, and kept on typing.
