Poor Fleur

We took a bunch of trees down in the yard. We were working with the neighbors. Their dog spotted the chickens in our yard and gave chase. Unfortunately, the dog got a hold of Fleur and killed her. The girls were really sad and we gave her a brief send off down by the river. We left her for the eagles. We did not want to bury her in the yard in case it attracted other wildlife. Very sad. Vanessa commemorated Fleur by creating a Lego model of her. The week before we had put leaves in the run to entertain them. Fleur had a great time flicking the leaves as you can see in the video.

Bazaar Times

Heather's Dance Group has their annual bazaar every November. This year we made a few different sweets to sell. Fudge, cookies and marshmallows as well as these interesting "Popcones". Yum. Heather did well at her dancing too.

Dragons, Dragons and More Dragons

Vanessa's class did a unit on Dragons and now she is obsessed with them. I was so impressed by her drawing. She drew this by hand. She did not trace. I am amazed at what this six year old can do. She blows me away.
