#ULOG 439 - Daily Thoughts - 16 Aug 18 - Homesteading Today...

Good Morning, Steemians! :D

I came out of my bedroom and my husband’s computer monitor caught my eye because this was on his screen and I thought it was pretty, so I snapped a picture before letting the puppies and grand-puppies outside for their morning constitutionals. :D

I missed the sunrise, boo, but at least we’ve got sunshine, surrounded by clouds at the moment, but still there’s sunshine this morning, YAY! :D

Chores went nice and smooth this morning. I turned the hose on for the tubs, thankfully the valve to the one that was full was shut off near the tub and the one that was empty was wide open and filled quickly, then I went and let all the chickens out of the big coop, the chicks weren’t sure about this new area yet because we clipped their wings and put them in at bedtime last night so they didn’t get to explore, but they were out exploring as soon as I opened their door this morning, they didn’t even let Red do his check for predators before they went out. :D

Even the piglets cooperated, Joel (1) and Billy (2) allowed me to pour their breakfast in their dishes, mix it with some water and let me get out of the way before they attacked their food. :D I got to clean their stall while they ate, and they stayed along the wall out of my way while I cleaned the stall, it was fantastic. :D

All this rain is great for the grass but it sure makes for a sloppy, slippery mess in front of our barn when the pond overflows, oh well the animals don’t seem to mind it, of course they aren’t as uncoordinated as I am, LOL. :D

Its breakfast time for Buddy (1), Joker (2), and Princess (3), thankfully they chose the front pasture for their dining experience this morning, so I could get this picture of them. :D

Belle (1), Candy (2), and Leroy (3) enjoying their breakfast in the front pasture as well. :D

Our handsome grand-puppies Tiny (4) and Shadow (5), and their dapper dad Dakota (6) were disappointed when Belle (1) moved away from the fence before they could chase her away, but Leroy (2) was thrilled because that meant he could get some milk without worrying about them getting him. :D Candy (3) just ignored us all completely and kept eating her breakfast. :D

Now I’m back in the house, the puppies and grand-puppies have shared my carrot muffin with me and are all settled in for their post-muffin/after chores nap, here’s our lovely grand-puppy Lady hogging our bed. :D

Our pretty puppy mom Karma napping beside my chair on the left. :D

I get to play some of my favorite Blizzard Game, World of Warcraft (WoW), WOOHOO! :D I’m hoping to finish off all the story quest lines for the first of the three new areas that came with the Battle for Azeroth (BfA) expansion today or tomorrow, if this headache I’ve got gets any worse though, it’ll be tomorrow. :D

Its mid-morning nap time for the herd, Princess (1) and Candy (2) are still finding their spot and finishing their snack but Buddy (3), Joker (4), Belle (5), and Leroy (6) have picked their spots and settled down for the nap. :D

Here I am flying around to complete a quest and finding new flight points in BfA. :D

Belle (5) telling Princess (1), Buddy (2), Joker (3), Candy (4), and Leroy (6) that mid-afternoon nap time is over. :D

I love my demon hunter in WoW because when I get lost, which is almost every time I turn around, I just need to find a path up high or a flight point that’s high enough, like this one, for me to jump off and glide to where I need to go. I wish Blizzard would stop taking the flight ability away every new expansion and making us re-earn it, but I get why they do. Too bad I’m so directionally challenged that making me run all over the map while doing quests to learn the map doesn’t help me at all. Once I finally get flight life is so much easier for me. :D

My husband and son are done work for the day and they brought home pea vines, much to the delight of our little herd, seen here happily eating them all up. :D

Its after-supper nap time for the herd but I could only get Leroy (1), Candy (2), Joker (3), and Princess (4) in this picture, and its barbecue our supper time for us. :D

The beautiful Belle having her after-supper nap with in the front pasture away from the rest of the herd, maybe she thinks it will cut down on the flies climbing over her if she’s away from the others. :D

Our handsome boy Buddy was even farther away for his after-supper nap. :D

We’ve got a few darker clouds rolling in but I’m pretty sure the sun is strong tonight and its going to stick around for some sunset photos. :D
