Life with critters

Oh boy, I've already had a nature overdose today--one of the chickens wouldn't get back in the pen last night. Lucille (One or Two, they're pretty hard to tell apart) was in the run that's adjacent to their pen, which is safe so I just let her stay there overnight.

This morning I went to check on her and was stung by what my best guess was a Cicada Killer Wasp**. Not the worst sting in the world, and apparently it's pretty rare to get stung by them...we must've surprised each other.

And Lucille? She'd gotten back in the main pen all by herself.

**Those are honeybees not Cicada Killers, just thought I'd show the changes I made to the drawing originally shown here.
