Life on the farm

Here it is. The suns up and so are the critters.
Before my feet hit the floor six four week old kittens are crawling on me crying for breakfast. OUCH... the little buggers have teeth. Best get up.
Put the water on for tea, warm kitten formula, start the feeding. OOPS... there's the tea water. Make tea well feeding little one. Finish feeding wial tea steeps. Put the chickens out. Yes they slept in the house last night. There has been a skunk around. Have my tea wial cheking E-mail. Hmmmm just more junk mail. On to feed the chickens, dogs, cats, and birds. (You will meet them all in time.
Time to greet the world.
Almost got out the door. Two kittens decided they were still hungry.
On the subject of kittens. Wanting to do somethig for the world but NOT wanting more cats I volenteered as a foster for orphans. The Humane society is great. This batch is two litters combined and came with a mama cat that was careing for them. None of thesse are hers but she is doing great with them. She ran out of milk so I have been feeding formula from a pet nursing bottle. At eight weeks they go back to be spade (they are all female) including the mama. then they go to thier new homes. It's wonderful, I get the pleasure of kittens with out haveing more cats or looking for homes for them. Selfish on my part.
Fed the chickens, now it's time to get dressed and walk the dogs. Then it's time to feed and water the birds. Nine cockateils and one budgie.
Life is wonderful.
Thank you great mother of all.
