The chickens are moving on up to the bigger cage - the one that Esme and Mark built for the rat and the hamster. They will be warm and safe here until they feather out and we can build something better for them outside. For posterity : they are 'Cinnamon Queen' variety.
I've been busy today. I went through Esme's old clothes again (because she just tends to hide them or stack them when they don't fit or are torn) and also moved up her bookshelf in her room with all of the new 'older' books we've been getting. It fell once - and I had to pound the supports down into the standards on the wall and lighten the load.
Where the shelf was before was exactly at 'sit down on the couch and smack yourself on it' level.. and we needed it a little higher. She has been sitting there tucking up with me to watch Welsh cartoons at night, and I hope we might get to reading again.
Hello Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly was excellent - I read it on my Kindle today. I'm reading her Wolves of the Beyond 'Lone Wolf' book by Kathryn Lasky, too - before she does.. and it seems like it will be a really good match for her. I have 'The Hazel Wood' by Melissa Albert on my Kindle now, it was highly reviewed.
I need to get her 'The Mage' by Inbali Iserles and a copy of the Hello Universe but both of them are a bit high right now as they are new releases. Have them on lists and alerts if one gets cheap.
Our plants arrive on Friday! We had ordered hosta and day lilies and some other ornamentals from Gilbert H. Wild and sons. And it is supposed to be nice this weekend. yay!
Lucy thinks the chickens are hers to look after. She has been sitting here with Esme and watching them. She had to sniff every other one as Mark put them from one cage to the other. She said they didn't smell right on the tail end. *ha* People raise strange puppies, apparently.
