The Adventures of Kitchen Chicken: Day 9

I found sunshine!  Not that weird instant sun of the spaceship called The Kitchen, but real sunshine!

It was wonderful!

It even made me feel like preening!





I tell you, I was so happy to find my warm sunshine that I just laid out and was basking.  I even quit worrying about those little fuzzy aliens.



I could have stayed there all day!

Baskin'

Me's likes munchin' on grasses from the pastures.



Then me's likes baskin' in the sunshines.



Me wants the suns to come back!



Me's likes sunshines.

Happiness Is

enjoying a beautiful sunshiny day!

The Kids Come Outside

The weather was beautiful today! The kids even came out to play.

Don't her eyes look good? They aren't even a bit watery.

By the time my blog photographer got out here with the camera, Joe's kids, Dottie and Nate, were already tuckered out.

Since they were sleeping in her bucket, Lily came outside to eat some hay too.

It was a perfect day!

A Perfect Weekend for...

Basking! It was so glorious to stand in the sun resting my eyes.

Earlier in the day, Helen and Betty were catching the rays as they bounced off the tin barn.

Later it was Annie, Litha, Dolly and Vinnie soaking up the sun.

In the afternoon, the wind came up, so some goats tried to bask in the barn. It kind of works, but it's not as good as being outside surrounded by sunshine and warm weather.

Like me, Pam is expecting, so she was catching up on her sleep in the sun.

I hope you all had great basking weather too.

Is Dana Dead?

Look at how Dana was all laid out.

Is she dead?

Her sister, Dixie, had to come check it out. She was very concerned to see her twin like this.

Nope! Just sleeping in the sun (yesterday because today is crappy weather)!

"What? I was not worried about her at all. Really, I wasn't."

This is Better!

Today we have great sunshine!

This is much better!

We get to go out and eat in the sunshine and have fun!

I have Millie's blog. How did I end up with her daughter too?

Isn't Vesta cute?

I found the perfect tree to scratch between my horns.

Betty Lou, my daughter, thought that looked like a good idea.

Something certainly had Joe's attention.

Lily found some flowers.

Bambi liked the flowers too.

We were all happy to have better weather.

Sweet Penny

She certainly looks like she was enjoying the warmth of the metal in the afternoon sun.

Isn't she a beautiful lady? She's one of my grandkids.

Sunny Day

Meg finally brought her kids out today. The human has to keep her locked in with her kids until they are fast enough to keep up with her. She does not have a motherly bone in her body. We all helped raise her first set of twins because she always left them.

Meg looking out for Fancy and Velvet

Big Red and Rover found something tasty. I think those clutzy geese dumped a pan of corn, so the boys were taking advantage of that. They are lucky--Scarlett usually finds every bit of corn that gets dropped.

Pistol and Vinnie try climbing a tree. They are small, but nobody has more speed or moves. Vinnie is quite the bouncy girl. I'm glad Dolly has to keep up with them and not me.

Sugar and Spice race in the barnyard. It's fun to slip through the gate and play up north with Pam and Cutie's kids. Pebbles just has to call, and they come running.

Mason plays with Sadie. She is Lily's baby from last year, but baby enough to play with the new kids. She's pretty nice to the little ones.

Vixen and Angel have plenty of energy since they are getting bottles. Twins and playmates, they stick together. Half the time, the run through the gate and come into our part of the barnyard. Hmm...maybe the human should switch Pebbles and Cutie around. No, no, no, we don't want pushy Cutie Pie down here.

There are eleven kids running around now. It was a beautiful, sunny and eighty degree day. They were so wound up this evening. There is nothing more fun than watching them bounce around.

Sunshine

What a beautiful day to lay outside in the sunshine chewing your cud. It's hard to believe that just about two weeks ago we had a snowdrift as tall as the fence. I was afraid Helen (in the picture) was going to venture over into the yard. Now, it's all sunshine. Yeah!

Unfortunately, our human isn't letting us out in the pasture yet. She keeps telling us to be patient and let it grow first, but she hasn't been eating hay all winter. She doesn't have to watch it turn green and lay in the hard barnyard. Oh, I long to be out in the green pastures browsing on rose bushes and clover and nettles and ...
