Today was another windy day. Much more windy than yesterday but it probably was due to the cloud cover that was hitting us. No rain...yet...but tomorrow they say (ahem!) that it should start for us.
The Beast went out and just opened up the doggie door for the chickens. He said it was hysterical because two chickens at a time were trying to go through it, which meant there was a chicken jam and they really got upset over the door being blocked. They finally figured it out and came out one-by-one. Then, when they felt the wind, it was a rush back inside....LOL.
Figures we would get wimpy chickens. I hope when they grow up entirely, they aren't afraid of some wind. It's not like it was enough to tear off their feathers. A lot of the wind was blocked by the barn itself (wind was from the South). Both of the cats were standing by the fence with their noses pressed through one of the holes. But the chickens just ignored them.
Tonight, the Beast left the garage door open just enough for the cats to come inside if it does rain. They seem to know now that it will always be open for bad weather and I see them snuggled up on the blanket. We put a nice soft towel inside the basket on my scooter since the one I have been calling the female likes it in there. I called that one the female because of it's personality. Sweet and wanting to be petted. However, they are now old enough that their sex is definitely easier to tell and I swear I saw two furry little balls underneath that tail today when it went to jump down from the table. Now I have to rethink everything and check the other fur baby to make sure what sex it is. Maybe then it will be easier to give them names now that we know their personalities.
The Beast hates the idea of naming them because he says we shouldn't think of them being permanent. But, he's the one that bought the huge bag of cat food and makes sure to feed them every morning. He gets up earlier than I do and the first thing he looks for is to see where they are. That's even before he puts on the coffee so what does that tell you? I can't blame him. They were starving when we first discovered them or was it they that discovered us? I forget now. But they look so much better now than they did then. I couldn't go without feeding them. Ever. Even if they weren't friendly. I can't stand to see any animal hungry. Especially when you KNOW that someone just threw them out to fend for themselves. Sad.
I wrote a while back (a couple years, I think it was) about how people dump off animals in our area because it's rural and they figure the animals won't find their way home. It's truly awful how many are dumped. Last year it was a dog and her puppies that they left in a ditch down the road. Thank goodness someone rescued them and took them home. Our animal control here just kills any animals they pick up. They don't have the budget to keep them for possible adoption. That's why we would never call them about any animal.
I've grown to really dislike TV except for a few programs that I watch regularly. I'm just sick over the thought that Rizzoli & Isles is having their very last program next week. They weren't renewed after 8 seasons and it's one of the better programs that have been offered. What is wrong with the people that make these decisions? The *reality* shows keep increasing and I think they are sick. At least the ones I checked out are. Disgusting for the most part.
So I am watching a lot of my DVD's....again. Or watching some old favorites like Steel Magnolias when it's shown on TV every once in a while. I'm also watching more of the weather channel. We've had such weird weather all over the country that it's incredible. At least California is getting some much needed rain and snow this year. They've had the kind of drought that Alabama was having when we first bought this house. Their recovery seems to be about as short as our was, too. Oh, they don't say it's over yet but it won't be long now. I guess we should be grateful for El Nino in some ways.
I need to get this posted now. Don't forget that I love you all. Even if there's not a lot of you, it's nice to think that people read this....my *exciting* life and times. LOL! I'm grateful. ***Hugs***
