I got a call from my friend, Diane today. She wanted to ask me over to her house as she had told me the other day. She said to *just come over*. I had to explain to her that I had been busy and had some chores to do this evening but tomorrow would be great. She's going to call me after she gets home from shopping. I promised her 3 dozen eggs since she makes eggs for breakfast every day and she said she was out.
She didn't know that the 18 count eggs that Dennis brought home with him last week was from out chickens. I told her I got about a dozen eggs every two days from our seven hens. That surprised her because she thought that the hens didn't lay during hot weather or really cold weather. I know they don't ALL lay eggs every day but they haven't stopped just because it's been hot outside. I don't know about during cold weather but I imagine we'll find out.
BUT....she told me that she was the one that sent over her used egg cartons. She said there were more than a dozen so I knew for sure it was her. I had no idea she was saving her egg cartons for us but I thanked her for them. I'll bring over the eggs I promised her tomorrow after she calls me.
I'm going to call Cee tomorrow and see how she is feeling and if she's up to coming over. Diane knows she is eager to see their house so she and I can go over and just hang out with Diane for a while. I think she's lonely and I know she loves company. Dennis has to be difficult to live with, especially when he's not feeling well. If she's feeling good, maybe she will even want to make tomorrow night our *sleepover* night. Regardless, I will have a bit of a surprise for her, even if she just comes over for a couple hours. Shhhh.....don't tell her!
Baron is really missing his *man*. He was sleeping in my computer room most of the day but today he started napping either next to the Beast's recliner or on his mattress that he dragged over to the Beast's side of the bed. The Beast won't be home until Sunday. I hope he doesn't mope all the time because then it starts to affect his eating. At least he has been eating well so far.
Baron got a bit of a comeuppance tonight. He came outside with me when I put the chickens away for the night. He was in the mood to play (it's usually the cat wants to play and Baron isn't interested) but the cat didn't want any part of it. She even hissed at Baron before he stopped trying to play with her. In a way, I felt bad because he really did want to play. He stayed in the yard for about 15 more minutes trying to woo the cat into playing but she finally ran up on the deck and then jumped up on the chair and on up to the bird feeder platform. That's when Baron wanted in the house, finally.
Okay, time to close. I'm tired tonight and will have to get up at that ungodly hour of 6am just to let the chickens out. LOL! The cat usually wants to escort me there and back. She then wants her scratches and petting for a bit before I go back in the house. She stays out and plays with the chickens most of the time. It's cute and funny.
Love you all. ***Hugs***
