Birds!

Last week, our wonderful and adorable cats were not so adorable and wonderful. After dark, they somehow found 2 young mouse birds to terrorize, and we were able to save one. This little guy was happy to sit in Cora's hand for some time and, when he got restless, was able to fly up and over our hedge to safety. I love my cats, but...

On a happier note, we now have two chickens at our house! Margaret, our phenomenal housekeeper, brought a friend for Mrs. Cluckers. She is a beautiful village chicken that we're calling Miss Cluckers (or Mrs. and Miss for short). She's gorgeous and has also started laying eggs. Maybe goats and cows are next?
