Some of my newest chickens came out to see what I was doing. Once things settle down a little around here they'll start free ranging.

Once the lightning stopped flying Hunter and I ran out to milk (Petunia let us know that we were a whole 4 minutes behind schedule). We got a very full gallon of milk (she held back on one quarter pretty substantially) and then her and Bud finished their breakfast at the trough.

Usually about this time of morning I'm heading out to milk Petunia, but with the crazy lightning and thunder I think I'm gonna wait until this storm passes. Her and Bud both took off to the shelter as soon as it started, hopefully she's understanding.

Bud is such a handsome boy. 😍

Oh my goodness... to blow up your inbox and create chaos just post about stray dogs harming one of your animals. You get a whole variety of messages and comments ranging from unalive them to how could you hurt a harmless animal? Everyone has an opinion and is quick to jump on one side or the other. I'm just over here wanting to continue on safely watching my chickens and cow quietly.

Despite a less than stellar start to our day, I did get mozzarella made, I made mozzarella balls and marinated them in olive oil, garlic, and herbs. 😋

Mattius is constantly scaring me. He sleeps in the most random, in the way places, and sleeps so hard half the time I have to pick him up to make sure he's still breathing. Crazy kitty.
