Guess Who is Laying Again?

 

Do You See Them?

When I watered the back garden on Monday evening, I noticed two white things near the nectarine tree.  Do you see them?  

I went closer to have a look:

One Outside the Planting Bed

Chicken Little, have you been busy again?

One Inside

If M had seen them on Friday evening, when he watered the garden, he didn't say anything.  So, I suspect that they were laid over the holiday weekend.  When we had high temperatures.  Anyway, I marked them, 1 and 2, and left them in place.

On Tuesday, I checked to see if there were any new eggs and there weren't.  Also, the one just outside the planting bed had been moved further away.

I checked again, this morning (Wednesday) and the one egg that had been moved had been pecked at and mostly eaten!  I did read online that chickens will eat their own eggs for various reasons (a need for calcium, for protein, out of boredom, etc.)  Maybe it was a 'bad egg'!  LOL.

Yesterday (Tuesday), I picked up Dancer's medication from the pharmacy.  I considered treating myself to a doughnut from the adjacent doughnut shop, but, decided against it.  Instead, I came home and ate leftover pancakes (from Monday's brunch) with seeni sambol (which is a sort of sweet and spicy onion relish).  Later in the afternoon, when it got hot (99F), I went into the bedroom and turned the window a/c unit on.  Then, I spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening, opening the door for a cat who hates a closed door!  "Let me in!" "No, let me out!" "I want in, again!"  He'd spend 5 minutes on the bed and then, it's back to "Meow, meow, let me out!"  LOL.  In between letting him in and out, I watched some documentaries and videos on the laptop and attached another row of crocheted granny squares to the blanket I am making.  Dinner was leftover rice, sauteed chicken, and corn. 

Today, Wednesday, it is hotter (101F right now, but, supposed to go up to 103F).  M watered the garden and I told him to try and stay in the shade as much as possible.  The pharmacy has my medication refill ready for pick up, so I will do that later.  

Today, I am grateful for:

- A sunny, warm (101F) day
- M's help with the garden
- Fans and the electricity to run them
- The pharmacy has my medication refill  ready to be picked up

- The little a/c unit in my bedroom, should I want it on 

Today's joyful activity has been picking a ripe persimmon from the garden:

Ripe Fuyu Persimmon

It felt hot to the touch and I had to put it in the fridge to cool, before I could eat it!
