Moonset

The moon was quite lovely this morning at 4:30, Spotters new favorite time to use the bathroom. It was close to setting--about 3/4 full and a stunning yellow/orange color. I am always enchanted with the moon's beauty.  There is some magic in the moon.

And it is important to note--I would not have seen that if it hadn't been for our new puppy. He is a sweetie and seems to be settling in. Tippy has always been a submissive dog and I think for the first few days she didn't know what to make of this new situation. Now she is asserting herself more--letting Spotters know that she was here first. Spotters is fine with that--he just wants to play.

Our chicks are already feathering out on their wing tips! I was quite surprised to see this yesterday, so I sent an email to our friends inviting them to come this weekend and check out the cute little fuzzballs before they are not so cute anymore. Chickens are not so attractive during adolesence.

But that's ok--some of the rest of us were not so cute during adolesence either....
Happy Friday!
