Monday morning

It's Monday morning, 6:10 a.m., and everybody is hungry..... want to help with my feeding chores?

Well, put on your muck boots and come along!

Smokey is waiting for us- he's already been running rabbits out of the garden.

Once we get up to the barn, the first stop is Daisy and Edie's. This is the view from inside their pen.....

I put out grain and hay and Edie goes to work, sampling both of them.

See the hay on the end of her nose? *chuckle*

Daisy's first order of business is to go outside. She'll eat after Edie samples everything. She loves to be the first one outside.

She looks like she's thinking, "So much grass, so little time..."

Smokey thinks he smells a rat.

Literally.

Next stop- the Big House where Hamburger and the girls are waiting patiently. (NOT!!)

I put out their feed and open the door... once everyone is out, I peek inside.

I never get tired of seeing this sight!

Smokey waits for the next stop.

Come on, Paula- hurry up!

The banty coop is next- I let the terrorist offspring (all 8 of them) and Liza Minelli out of their box...

Then the silkies......

Then last but not least, Whitey and Ruthie.

Good morning to you too, Whitey!

The banty coop is now a flurry of activity... crowing, fighting, squawking, fuzzy bottoms.... *sigh*... have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE fuzzy bottoms?

Next stop- Elvis and Priscilla. Who are also waiting patiently, as you can see.

Once E and P are fed, I glance up the hill toward the beehives and the garden-

I'll check them out when the grass dries up a little more. That will be on the afternoon schedule of things to do.

Time to head back to the house- everybody's had breakfast but me and Smokey.

After a quick check of my tomato plants, I put out some food for Smokey...

Then on into the house for my breakfast. It's now 7:00 a.m.....

I fix my cereal while an egg cooks in the skillet. After I eat, the next hour or so will be my time for morning devotions and check in on all my Blog friends... then it will be time to get on with the day.

Thanks for stopping by and helping- hope you have a wonderful day!
