Rainy Thursday

A Wet Chicken Little

It rained practically all day on Thursday, quite heavily at times. M texted to let me know he received a flood alert on his phone, but, I didn't receive one, although there were flood alerts in various parts of the city and people in the burn areas were told to evacuate due to potential mudslides and debris flows.  According to weather reports, we received over one inch of rain in some areas and there's more rain in the forecast for later tonight/early tomorrow morning.

Chicken Little came looking for kibbles because she didn't want to look for worms and insects in the rain.  She has taken to pecking at the glass door to let me know if she's there and there isn't any kibble available.  LOL.  I just wish she wouldn't poop all over my back steps.  M and I take turns washing the steps, but, it is a bit of a mess in between washings.


Chicken Little

There are some days when I am very productive, but, today wasn't one of those days!  I cooked mung beans for brunch, having put them to soak overnight, and daughter and I both enjoyed the boiled mung beans with lunu miris (a type of sambol; me) and sugar (daughter).  I ran the dishwasher and tidied up the kitchen a little.  I put away the washed and air dried dishes, later.  I watched some videos about Japanese culture and mythology and, later, I watched the news and a documentary on the public TV channel.  Daughter had a Jamaican hand pie with her coffee in the evening and we both had breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs and hash browns) along with a salad.  

On Thursday, I was grateful for:
- More rain for the garden
- No flood alerts in my area
- Working appliances
- Quick and easy meals when I don't feel like cooking
- A warm and dry house

Today's joyful activity was watching some videos.  

Plans for tomorrow include going for a blood test in the afternoon and tending to the garden with M in the evening.  I might or might not go to the ethnic grocery store in between because I need more fresh produce and they tend to have lower prices than the regular grocery store.  

How was your Thursday?  What are your plans for Friday?

  1. Oh, I hope Chicken Little leaves and egg or two in exchange for the kibble. :)

    1. That's what I am hoping, too, June, although, so far, she hasn't shown any signs of laying. Last year, it was in the summer that she started laying.

  2. Lovely photos of Chicken Little! It's funny how things swing from fires to too much rain! Hope you have a good weekend!

    1. Thank you, Sharon. Yes, first the fires, then the rains and mudslides - it's a bit of a mess in some areas.

  3. So happy for the rains there!
    Chicken Little is a cute bird, even if she does make a bit of a mess! Free fertilizer perhaps?

    1. Thank you, Anne. We needed the rain.
      Chicken Little has quite a personality! I love how she comes running when she sees me at the back door! It's like chicken daycare - she flies up to the wall when the neighbors let her out in the morning and comes over to my yard; then she spend the entire day in my yard and goes back home to sleep! Oh, yes, free fertilizer! :)

  4. It seems Chicken Little needs a diaper when she comes to your step!
    She's a very pretty chicken.

  5. You did get some rain didn't you? I do hope something you need so badly doesn't come in amounts that are problematic.
    Chicken Little has beautiful coloring. Although his bathroom habits need some help lol

    1. We did get some much needed rain. Some of the burn areas, though, experienced debris flows and mudslides.
      Chicken Little looks very spiffy after molting and getting her new feathers. Ah, yes, she needs some sort of potty training! LOL.

  6. I can't imagine how terrible it must be to experience the horror of the fires, then to be under the threat of flooding and mudslides. I hope M's area remains clear.
    Lovely to see Chicken Little. She's very pretty :)
    I hope your blood test appointment goes okay. Xx

    1. It is a terrible experience, Jules. Earlier, the news showed a house that escaped the fires, only to be brought down by a landslide! M's area didn't flood; I had a little water in my garage, but, that happens almost every time it rains.
      Chicken Little does look pretty, doesn't she?
      Thank you, Jules; the blood test appointment went well. I should get the results next week.

  7. That's a lot of rain for you. Still, I guess it will damp things down and reduce the chance of more fires.

    That sounds like a recharge day which are absolutely necessary.

    1. It was a lot of rain for us. All of it was much needed, of course, even though some of the burn areas experienced some mudslides and debris flows.
      I like the term, "a recharge day". That's exactly what it was, because I was able to run some errands on Friday. :)
