Is It Over Yet??


This past week has been tough. I would say it has been the worst week of the past three years. 

As I mentioned last week, I had pasteurella multocida from a cat bite. In the grand scheme of things, I made out very well. I have heard many stories about hospitalizations, IV drips, nurse home visits, cellulitis. I had only 4 days of keeping my hand immobile and 2 days of limited movement. I am now, almost back to normal. I feel my arthritis is worse in that hand but otherwise I can move and have strength back.

We had an illness in our household which made COVID very real for 24 hours until we got the negative test results back. 

We had a fox attack our chickens…in broad daylight…while I was on the other side of the barn mowing the lawn😥
It killed three of our laying hens and three of our babies before I saw it and was able able to move everyone into the barn. 

And to top off the first three days of the week…our pigs have decided an electric fence is not scary enough to keep them in!

By Wednesday night I wanted to pull up the covers, go to sleep, and not wake up until Monday.

But then Friday…we had 8 of our 9 chicks hatch in the incubator and I have hope again.
