09/14/08 We appreciate every one checking on us through the hurricane. We came out pretty good. We had the winds with this one so it moved through quickly. We had two huge old oaks break in half. It is sad to see such old trees destroyed. One is in our goat pasture. I looked out the kitchen window and thought it had killed my little dairy herd. I saw goats under it. I took off and yelled at Bill the same time. When we got there they were having a buffet and all were fine. Bill said one trees misfortune is a goats good fortune. We were soaking wet, but the goats are happy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One other thing happened. (Something is always happening on a little farm.) I was doing the dishes the other night and heard a chirp. I thought, is their a bird nest outside? Sure is late in the year. Then I heard it again. We put our chicken eggs in a little wire basket on top of the cabinet over the dishwasher and I thought for sure a baby chicken had gotten up under the dishwasher because the eggs in the basket were fine. So I had Bill in there with a flashlight looking under the dishwasher thinking we were going to have to pull it out. But, then my lightening fast mind thought were is the broken shell. I heard it again. I picked up an egg, put it to my ear like you would a seashell and there that little thing was. He had not gotten out of his shell yet. He was a chatty little thing. After we got Bill out from under the cabinet we put the little egg under a desk lamp and finished helping him out the next morning. (Bill had picked up an egg that had fallen out of a nest with a sitting hen.) We did get him back with mom so she could raise him. Take a look below for photos of his little journey.
