How’s my acting? 🐴
Good morning! As delighted as I am to see you, I’m trying to look as depressed and pathetic as possible so “catering” will pity us and bring us some molasses hearts:
It always works—we got three hearts each:
I wish I had more for you. Anyway, unnamed black kitten is getting bigger, but still cute. . .
And so are unnamed kittens numbers 2 and 3:
Honestly, cat-cops, get on the stick! 🐴
Stormy on patrol (video)! 🐎
“Good morning! It’s raining again this morning and very dark.”
“It’s so dark, the cat-cops couldn’t see our food without the light.”
That’s true, Rose. In fact, the rain right now is so bad that Ann brought in some hay, so we won’t have to go out and graze right now:
Speaking of going out, Stormy was in his stall, eating his grain, when he ran out—startling everybody. Why? He saw a suspicious vehicle:
It of course was just one of our road crew friends, but nothing gets past a horse (or me)! 🐴
Finally, this video is not too exciting, but it proves Stormy was indeed in the middle of breakfast. . .
Did you notice? He was still chewing! 🐴
Oh, those indoor kitties 🙀 (and a video)
“Good morning, everyone! Goodness, Greg, these masks really do smell ‘springtime fresh,’ just like Francis says:”
“Smells like cheap laundry detergent perfume to me, Tiger—and, ‘Good morning!’ to everyone, too.” 😺
We won’t wear them today, cats, because it’s pouring. Here’s a look at the tempest (more after video):
“I wouldn’t call it a tempest, Francis. We’ve seen worse.”
Point taken, Stormy, but the cracks of lightning have been fierce. Anyway, it looks like the chickens are running between the raindrops to get in here:
Finally, back in the house, it seems the place to be is Ann’s egg bag. First, there’s Greg. . .
Then, Tiger:
There must be something about that bag that only cats understand. 🐴
Monday morning treats of carrots and eggs (3 videos)!
Good morning! Breakfast is underway!
Betty doesn’t seem hungry today. One of the kittens has come in to “help:”
Please get those carrots off of my back and into our tummies!
While I like to chew my carrots slowly, and savor the flavor. . .
Stormy and Rose would rather just “inhale” theirs. . .
Finally, regular site visitors know there’s one thing that can pull a chicken out into the sun, no matter how hot it is (and it’s HOT). . .
An egg! 🥚
I’m so sorry we missed YOU 🐴!
Good morning! There was so much going on yesterday, I couldn’t get my hooves on the keyboard:
First, I forgot my mask was wet with fly spray, and absent-mindedly rolled in the dust:
As you can guess, I have a backup:
Time got away from me, because I was having so much fun with all these visitors:
Lucky Rose was the center of attention. Georgie already had experience on a horse:
Liddy was content just to sit in the saddle, even though Rose promised to be good:
What fun! 🐴
I learn something new every day! 🐴
Good morning! No matter how hot it gets, I can’t keep from smiling when I know you’re with me!
As usual, clean water for everyone:
“Aren’t we colorful?”
I’m not sure who said that, but yes indeed, you are colorful.
Anyway, this is fascinating, and oddly attractive, I think. Do you know what it is?
“I’m pretty sure I know what it is, Francis…”
“It’s cobweb fungus on our poopies:”
Thanks for the info, RC. 🐴
Crunchy cats and Delinquent Duck Videos 🐴
Peek-a-Boo! Good morning to you!
Patches is sneaking a peek at breakfast. “Today, we not only have fresh food, but they’re in just-cleaned dishes:”
“We’ll all do a little crunching before the canned food is served:”
Finally, these two bad ducks were caught by dash cam:
BAD DUCKS! You’re a danger to yourself and you scare the cars! 🦆
Taste test! 🐴
Good morning! It’s raining, here and there. I’m trying a molasses heart. They are delicious, but I prefer the aroma of the peppermint hearts:
“May I try one, please?”
Of course you can, Stormy (Stormy knew he would get one, but this morning he wanted to show his “horse manners”):
Needless to say, Rose got one, too. . .
As did RC:
Finally, please stay away from the road, ducks:
Not only is it dangerous, but there’s nothing across the street that you can’t find here! 🦆
Weeds, weeds, everywhere! 🐴
“Good morning! I’m about to help myself to some water, and then some delicious canned cat food. I know it’s made from chicken, but tasty is tasty!”
Thanks for greeting our friends, Ruth. Enjoy your act of cannibalism (omnivores are freaky).
Anyway, Stormy is trying to vacuum the few grains of RC’s breakfast that lay on the ledge (“waste not, want not,” I suppose):
Well, time to head out to the front pasture...
Our friend, Mike, has cut down a nice path to it:
I think we still need your help, Mike:
Farm weeds aren’t like flowerbed weeds: they’re taller than a horse and have stems thicker than my leg! 🐴
Swallows are careful with their babies (video)! 🐴
Good morning! Fans are dual-purpose: they keep you cool and blow away your flies.
Apparently the chicks are tired of waiting to be served breakfast, and are taking matters into their own beaks:
Marbles has been gone for 4 days. What a bad kitty! When you’re gone for so long, you always come back skinny and starving! You're also delinquent for hopping up in a car—suppose you get locked in? 🙀
“Then I say it’s the cat-cops fault for leaving the car open!” 😾
Poor Patches looks all frizzled because he just walked through some very dewy raspberry bushes:
And Luna just can’t get to those tasty little swallow fledglings:
Let’s watch the video of a perplexed pussycat:
😿
