Beekeeper Brian and Chicken Wrangler Sara have been on their annual vacation in Colorado leaving Rachel in charge of Miller Farm which is no easy task.

In an effort to entertain the puppies, Rachel purchased new dog toys. Much to Max’s dismay, Tucker thought they were all for him.<a href="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/tucker-with-toys.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6838 aligncenter" src="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/tucker-with-toys-207x300.jpg" alt="tucker with toys" width="207" height="300" /></a>In the poultry department, Rachel has had to separate some of the roosters sending one to a new home.  Apparently Kaboodle is at the bottom of the pecking order and an intervention was required.  For the moment all is calm in the chicken yard.

Here are two of my favorites.<a href="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/chick2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6840 alignright" src="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/chick2-264x300.jpg" alt="chick2" width="264" height="300" /></a>

As much as I enjoy being in Colorado, I kind of miss the excitement of Miller Farm.
