Tempus fugit

I really can't understand it, since Cowboy goes to work only an hour later, but it seems to make time a bit wonky. 
Badger and I are usually awake by 8 am at the latest, and time seems snail slow until Cowboy wakes up around 11 am. 
The day just kind of drags on, but then after he goes to work at 4:15 pm, you'll be watching TV, look up, and then two hours have gone by. 
Time's gone into hyperdrive.

I filled up the bird feeders this morning.
I caught a darn raccoon standing on tippy-toes swinging my little barn feeder. If I ever catch the little devil swinging on the bell feeders, well, I happen to know a 'coon hunter.

We've never seen that chipmunk again, and that's a little weird. 
My cousin was having a very serious operation the morning we saw him. 
She's always talking about feeding her little chipmunks. 
Badger said maybe it was her spirit animal come to let us know she was ok.

I normally only feed her once a day, but I noticed Imp was under the car across the road. I took her some food out.
She's got a lot of competition at night now. I'm feeding Imp, a possum, a raccoon, and at least three other strays.

Badger was awake by the time I got back inside.
She'd slept on the couch again.

Heron headed to work, and she and I went down to his RV, locked his cats inside, and turned on the air conditioner. It's been pretty hot lately, really too hot for them to be out in the catio.

Badger gave Lady a bath.
She's like Sasha and Coyote and has a bad flea allergy. It's that time of the year when she has to be bathed frequently even though Heron tells us not to. I think she'd rather have dry skin than be itchy.

Then Badger moved to the kitchen.
I think she was cutting up bananas to freeze.

I played on my computer until 11 am when we decided to take a little walk. 
More often than not she and I are walking in the mornings now so that Cowboy will have a quiet house to sleep in. 
Sometimes we'll go all the way to the creek, sometimes only to the library or senior citizen center. 
It depends on how we feel. 
This morning we didn't make it out of the backyard. 
There were enough birds eating that Badger decided we'd just stay home.

My camera dinged me at 11:37 am.
Cowboy was awake and heading to the kitchen. Nanny cameras come in handy sometimes.

I came inside and plopped out at my desk to play on the computer while he ate breakfast. Badger was still chasing birds.

Eventually she headed back inside and started dinner.

It was 1:30 pm by the time Cowboy went to take care of his chickens. I didn't really think about it, but I guess the chickens are also having to adjust to this new shift.

It was 3 pm before Cowboy curled up in the recliner for a nap, and he eats at 3:30 pm. I don't know the solution but he's going to have to come up with a better schedule. Getting home and going to bed at 5 am just messes everything up.

Cowboy got off to work, and Badger and I headed to the living room to watch TV. Most of the time we're in my bedroom watching TV trying to stay quiet.

We waited until almost 7 pm to take our evening walk.
We walked down to the creek, but we didn't sit. Heron's working a double shift tonight, and we didn't want to have to come back to an empty house.

There is a field of thistles by the old church.
Badger and I risked being hit by a car and just stood for a good long while. That whole field was full of goldfinches eating those thistles. That was amazing!

We came back home, and yeah, turned our TV back on.

Heron surprised us by coming home just after 10 pm.
Usually when he says a double shift we won't see him until 2 am or 3 am.

Badger's waiting on an SD card to come from Amazon.
I don't understand photography and transferring to a computer. But she said she needs that SD card. When it comes and she's all unloaded, I have a ton of pictures to share.
She's taken some amazing ones lately. I may just do a post of nothing but catch‑up pictures, because there's no way I'm going to be able to pick and choose like I usually do.
I'm not sure if y'all enjoy her pictures, but I love seeing the world through her eyes. 
And I think she's a pretty darn good photographer.

Badger is already sound asleep on her couch, so I'm going to close here and head to bed myself.
