Big day!
I didn't put the hook on the door to the chicken coop last night, it blew open, and one of the girls was dispatched (feathers everywhere, no sign of body) :-(
Rode the gelding bareback around the pasture a little and worked the mare in the round pen
Painted for a few hours instead of taking a nap
Stopped in at Chuck's to tell him about the chicken and got a newspaper with all the local (totally relative) places to hear live music and hand-drawn maps to get to each
Found the dumpster! Only took me a week
Chuck came up to set a trap for the presumed perpetrator of the chicken dispatch and asked if I had found Jeffrey's gun yet but when I said I'd never even handled a gun before he helpfully offered to come shoot whatever is in there in the morning (obviously given my affection for raccoons this will be a difficult one but #ranchlife and that was a big chicken)
Then we spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the lawnmower wouldn't start - interrupted by Chuck needing to look in on a goat that had had triplets - and I am finally in the lawn mowing business
That's a lot of excitement for one day.
