Off the Grid - Day 3

Another drizzly day but it's still beautiful.

Today I have company coming!  Jim, Claire (Mom) and Jaimey are coming out.  We are going to take Jaimey out for her birthday in Washington.

I gather only 7 eggs this morning.  I'm a little disappointed but still so thankful that the ladies are laying for me.

Everyone is doing well.  The babies are getting much more active.  As I am in the barn, one of the babies is actually making his way back into the pin.  He is so cute coming back in. A little fumbley, but cute.

I walk the yard, do some yoga, read and relax.  What a great day!






The gang shows up around 3:30.  We go to the barn (all of us) and visit with the pigs.  The chickens follow us around as we walk.  Jaimey explores the barn and amazingly finds two eggs up in the rafters.

We leave to go into Washington so we can get back in time to feed the pigs and put the chickens to bed. Washington is always enjoyable and we have a fun time. We get back in plenty of time to finish my chores.

Now to let everyone see what it's like to feed the pigs. Jaimey helps me feed them.  Everyone gets to hear intensity of the noises they make. It goes from very quiet to very loud!

And then it's time for the chickens to go to bed for the evening.  Of course, that consists of nothing more than closing the door.  They have all politely strutted into their coup and are ready for us to shut the door.  So cute!

We end the evening by watching a beautiful sunset.  Beautiful day, beautiful sunset!
