Meet Pearl

So, this one is all my fault. We really need a kitty to killl the moles digging up our property. I am hoping that this sweetheart will be a good hunter. Meet Pearl Isn't she just a love! I know, I know really we do live in a zoo. When she gets big enough that I am not paranoid that an eagle or a hawk is going to carry her off. She will be strictly an outside hunter. Amazingly enough Holly loves her, and Pearl is very tolerant of all of the mothering. Holly slobbers her up one side and down the other. Yesterday I saw Pearl hanging from Holly's jowls, and Holly didn't seem to mind, but the kitty sure lets everyone know when she is being stepped on. Poor Holly she doesn't even realize that her paw is on the cats tail.

EGGSTATIC!!!

Yep, our chicken are doing their job. They are finally laying, a little earlier than we anticipated. It has been fun for the kids to check their coop (79 times a day), waiting. We got three eggs one day. but usually it is just one a day. Hopefully the Rhode Island Reds will start laying some brown eggs soon.

Mason was up first to check it out. It is the smallest egg I have ever seen. You can get an idea from the pic above.

Keep it up girls. We love those eggs! Aren't they just darling. :)
