The Girls Can Be Weird.....

I know I have mentioned some strange things that the girls and Freddy do from time to time but I think this one takes the cake.  We were out on the deck this morning and noticed one of the chickens was in a flower pot in one corner of the deck.  This flower pot happens to be heavily covered with grape leaves so it was only by chance that the Beast first noticed her.  We just laughed at  first .  But, when she exited the pot, out of curiosity, the Beast  said to me...*Go check and see what she was doing.  She might have decided to lay an egg there.*  He was right...but she had obviously been laying eggs in there for a while.  Either that or several of the hens had discovered (and like) the area for egg laying.  I found SIX eggs in there.  

Needless to say, I brought them in right away and refrigerated them....just in case.  We are going to have to keep a close eye on that pot now.  I'm not kidding when I say that you really can't see the hen when she is in there.  Not unless you just happen to spot a small area of black and white when she moves a bit.  And I doubt you would normally.  The Beast may not have even noticed it except Sassy (the cat) kept putting her nose over the edge of it.  She did it a couple times before walking away and the Beast wondered what had caught her attention when he finally saw the feathers.

Cee went to her doctor today and got the strangest thing told to her.  After her blood test, her doctor told her that her Vitamin D level was low.  He gave her some pills she has to take...just one per week...to help.  Can you imagine?  He said that often happens when you drink a lot of water....which she does.  Probably more water than most since the radiation treatments she had after the throat cancer was found.  It seems to have burned her salivary glands so she suffers from dry mouth and throat.  She has a glass of ice water that she carries with her everywhere now and constantly takes sips from.  Goes to show you  that she doesn't get out of the house and into the sun often.  Plus she obviously doesn't drink much milk, either.  Like she says, she can take one more pill per week....LOL.

The Beast didn't go out with his church group today.  He said his leg was really hurting him and he needed to give it time to heal a bit.  Of course, he was in and out of the house a lot...some rest, huh?  But at least he didn't complain a lot.  And he DID take a nap so I'm sure that helped.

I'm tired and heading for bed myself now.  Have a great Friday, everyone.  Love you all.  ***Hugs***
