Creepy Crawlers

 Last Wednesday I saw a couple of unusual critters:

2:17 pm

A bat hanging outside the house during the daytime.

 

 

 

 6:54 pm

A tarantula crawling about. We usually don't see these guys till September.

At least the bat was gone.

 

 

Weird, right?

 

Snowy Owl: Pre-Ply Bobbins

I brought the Lendrum and the Quill Head Flyer to Spinners' group and wound off Snowy Owl onto storage bobbins. The spun singles have been sitting on the Bossie Spindles for way too long.

 

 

 

 

Egg Cooperation

It has been a few weeks and I am happy to report that I am no longer finding pecked and broken eggs.

It appears that the two hens have come to an understanding:

Kochi lays an egg while Sage waits patiently nearby.

 

 

After Kochi lays her egg and leaves the nesting box, Sage takes her place.

The Good Smoke

I saw a scary-looking smoke plume today but nothing happened as I watched: no aircraft, no sirens, no Watch Duty App alerts on my phone. This was a prescribed burn - a controlled burn - a good fire.

Jack Updates

Text from Lauren:

Good morning! He’s hanging with the herd this morning ☀️

 

 

 Lauren's Mom and Jack chatting with a neighbor. 

 

 

It looks like he is settling in nicely.

 

To the Farm

Today Jack went to live with, Lauren, a neighbor. Getting him there was easy-peasy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We unloaded Jack into a nice shady enclosure where the goats were hanging out. All the animals are able to free-range the property but I made sure the enclosure gate was closed for the Meet and Greet.

 

Lauren is down to three lady goats - a much smaller herd than before. They seemed quiet and calm. 

 

 

 

Poor Jack, there was so much going on the poor guy was quivering.

 

 

 

 

 

Tortilla chips seemed to help.

 

 

I am sure it won't be too long before Jack adopts into his new happy herd and Lauren's menagerie farm of 2 donkeys, 3 pot-bellied pigs, 3 goats, 2 (or 3) dogs, a multitude of hens ("We get 16 eggs a day"), a bunch of ducks ("You guys want some ducks?"), and not to be forgotten, Lauren's 2 daughters.

Pics were shared by The Man while out for a walk:

 

 

SLO Stop

A stop at Tractor Supply in San Luis for a bag of Chicken Pellets.

Across the parking lot - SLO Public Market - another stop, for ice cream.

A Refill

Spent the afternoon winding Scarf Balls to restock the empty bin.

 

 

Duck Walk

The Man sent me a video from his walk around Atascadero Lake. I love it.

 

Annual Picnic

 Central Coast Weavers Guild Picnic - fun times was had by all - and more yummy food.

Selfie Jack

It has been a week since we said goodbye to Boots. Our main concern after putting her down was having Jack be an only goat.

The Vet suggested Jack might be fine as a single goat since he is bonded to me. The Vet told me to watch Jack for anxiety or stressed behavior.

We have reached out to a couple of neighbors who have goats to see if they would like to add Jack to their herd.

In the meantime he seems to be handling the lone goat situation just fine.

 

Delish

Yesterday's Potluck before Little Looms Group was especially delicious. I am still thinking about it.

 

 

Tuesday's Box

  

 

Two bunches of giant purple radishes. No wonder the box was so heavy.
