The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 30 is "discovery" (suggested by @matthewlang). I noticed the filler valve for the small pond was running non-stop, so likely leaking by overflowing the liner. Looking under a tree, I made a discovery, and fixed it. 📷 #mbaug

The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 29 is "flake" (suggested by kurite). After mealworms, the all-time favorite treat of our chickens are flakes of rice. They love strawberries, too, but ignore those till they’ve eaten all the rice. 📷🍓🍚🐓 #mbaug

About three years ago we noticed four kittens and their mother living under our front steps. We started feeding them, starting an ongoing commitment to caring for these feral cats, including trap-neuter-return, providing shelters, and more. 🐈 #ThrowbackThursday
