Today's Pets are Up

Karen, how is the postal system in the US working these days? Many delays, or is it going smoothly? I hear that to some counties it takes more than a month for a package to get there.

Extremely busy, but packages are moving at their usual pace, unless they come from international sources and have to spend time in quarantine. We are handling more packages now than we usually do at Christmas, so busy!

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up.

And of course we wash our hands and counter, etc., many more times a day than we used to. So far my community is Covid free, and we hope to keep it that way!

And today a box of chicks came to the post office- but this time they were for us! They are on their way home now, and the office is suddenly quiet!

So sorry, today has been crazy busy, I will not be able to get new pets up, but will do so early tomorrow. Currently at our social distancing Farmers Market!

Farmer's Market days are so must, and this day was complicated by being Juneteenth - so extra items to celebrate/mark that day, plus we have the new chicks to keep alive and happy, and Kermit made an amazing wreath to hang in the booth for the day. I will take a picture of it tomorrow during daylight hours, it's now hanging outside our front door.

There are just not enough hours in the day. Baby Boo is growing every day, Coffee and Lilly have three goslings that are very well defended, and I am taking pictures to share - though not of Boo today, as he was too busy trying to check us - a young friend who gave me a ride home after market - and I out. His little horn nubbins are already starting to grow! He is curious and sweet and strong - everything a growing water buffalo should be.

Oh, and we have two new unusual residents at the farm - refugees from the closing of Marlboro College. And elder turtle. whose name we will be changing, and an elder ball python, who seemed to remember Kermit from his time there so many years ago. Both are in their own habitats, so not worries about predation. Though the ball pything has already enjoyed a dead mole the cats killed and left lying around, so nothing will be wasted!
