This has been a rough month on the farm. Our old kitty, Eddie, disappeared a few weeks ago, and yesterday the neighbor's dog ate our mama chicken, Takaye. She was a good mom right up to the end...her babies were able to hide while she distracted the dog. Now we have five orphaned chicks for me to raise! Here's a photo of Takaye with her babies when they were a few days old:
On a happier note, on Sunday I got to eat lobsters for the second time at Grammie and Grampie's house! We had clams too...I ate two big ones all by myself. My favorite part of the lobsters was sucking the meat out of the little legs. I liked the lobsters much better after they were cooked...they were kind of scary when they could crawl on the floor towards me.
