Out....To Lunch.....

I told the Beast that I wanted him to let me know when he was going to go out to open the door of the coop.  I wanted to see for myself what the chickens did when they saw he was coming.  He told me and I went out onto the deck to watch.

There was around 8 of the chickens out in the coop and the rest were in the barn.  But, as soon as the chickens saw the Beast was headed their way, they got excited.  That let the hens in the barn know he was coming and they came out of the barn like a shot and surrounded the door that he was going to open.  As soon as he did, they rushed through the opening and damn near ran the Beast over......LOL.  

Freddy puffed up his head and neck and attempted to spur the Beast.  I guess he feels his position as *top gun* is challenged by the Beast but the Beast was expecting the attack and had a small branch in his hand that he used to fend off Freddy.  Freddy ran away with all the dignity he could muster.  As the Beast walked back to the house, Freddy actually tried sneaking up on him but I warned the Beast so he could grab his branch again.  But we hadn't counted on Baron.   Baron took off down the stairs and into the yard and became very aggressive towards Freddy.  How DARE he challenge Baron's MAN!  That alone was funny with Freddy running away as fast as he could and Baron trotting behind him with a low growl.  Baron finally felt Freddy got the message and returned to the deck.  I thought the whole thing was just hilarious.

Cee got to my house around 1pm and we left to go pick up Baby Brat.  She was dressed and ready to go out.  I think she really needed the time with us today.  It was really a nice day together.  We laughed, we ate well and each had a drink before we ate, then an Irish coffee to finish off the meal.  That was our *dessert*. 

We took her home and each of us said *Love you* as we parted.  Baby is living in the same complex that my granddaughter, Sheepie, used to live in.  I thought the layout of her one bedroom apartment was rather nice although she could use a chest of drawers or a nice dresser in her bedroom.  The living room is spacious and the apartment was nice and clean with lots of windows for good lighting during the day.

Time to get this posted.  I am very tired tonight.  I kept waking up to use the bathroom last night and I didn't sleep well.  I tried to take a nap after returning home from our late lunch get-together but the Beast kept interrupting my attempts.   Now my eyes keep slamming shut so I think my body is trying to tell me something.  What do you think?  LOL.  Love you all and I wish you good weather and a happy weekend.  Spend time with those you love.  ***Hugs***
