Lucky, the Chicken

We apparently have a lucky chicken. She some how got on the wrong side of her pen and back to the right side and then back in while staying alive!
Here is where she is lucky-the other side of her pen is surrounded by our dogs two pens.
Of the two dog pens she presumably flew in to it was the older one with the gum disease ridden mouth that she happened to land in who's teeth are encased by her over grown gums that we have yet to save up or pay the money for to have fixed.
This dog also is the hearing dog so there might have been the chance that when I happened to see "Lucky," the chicken in the wrong place and yelled," No, Kuka," while starting to run outside the dog might have heard me.
Kuka was inside for the winter and part of spring and around the chickens a little more and knew she was suppose to leave them alone.
And finally I just happened to see this problem out the kitchen window before heading back to check on the girls in their room, so I was able to run out of the house and keep the dog at bay while I grabbed "Lucky" and moved her to her rightful place.
Hopefully she has learned her lesson or taught her fowl friends something! And I hope they listened to the scolding I gave them too.

What a lucky bird

Are you going to clip the chickens' wings so that they won't be able to fly? You are right about naming it Lucky!!

Better not eat that bird. Your kids would never forgive you.

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
