    Bright orb, drive thru and lap cat

    Can someone please, remind me what that super bright thing is in the sky!! I sure wish I could see more of it. Wow, it sure was gray and gloomy. That day was a great walking day. I could actually feel my batteries recharging. Uugghh, shortly lived I am afraid. Fingers crossed tomorrow!! I know not the best picture. Thankful that the chickens have been locked up! This Red Shoulder Hawk has vacationed here before. Joe even saw her try to catch something from the pond. Today I was super worried! One of the chickens got out between my legs while I was feeding them. Phew, she hurried back in!…

    A new chicken on the Homestead??

    Yeah, I do NOT think so…. Just another crazy day on the Hamscher Homestead.. Apparently this Red Shoulder Hawk was so hungry she thought she could scare the chickens out… that did not happen. After all The cold and snow…. she would try anything. Cheater. Sent the photo to my dad and said maybe she thought she was in the fly thru lane…. of the chick-fil-a?? but it was closed. The kitties are all back to being toasty and warm…. no hiding under blankets and sitting by heaters. Penelope even decided to help me make some lunch. All the others were quietly sleeping!! We both went back to the craft…
