Uh oh… my AirPods Pro must have heard of Apple’s new service program, as the right earbud has just started crackling while in use. I thought I was one of the lucky few that didn’t have that issue. (Resetting didn’t help.)
On the homestead blog: Spooooky Halloween Caturday to one and all! This week, we were visited by scary raccoon monsters, and the scariest of all creatures, a skunk. But fear not, much cuteness was also observed. #Caturday 🐈
Video: Listen to lots of hungry hummingbirds. Sound up! After refilling the hummingbird feeders, I stood nearby outside and recorded several of them arriving, with the lightsaber-like wing noises and twittering arguments. 📹🐦
On the homestead blog: your weekly flock update. This week, I am highlighting 20 chicken-related pictures plus 12 duck pictures, along with a summary GIF of 59 candidates. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
One more for #NationalCatDay: I can’t neglect to mention our family of feral cats. Here are some pictures of inside their heated shelter and three cabins from last night. Learn more about them on my homestead feral cats page. 🐈
Also for #NationalCatDay, our current pet cats Paladin and Pippin sharing the cat tower yesterday and today. Normally they don’t like to be that close to each other, except when there’s food involved. 🐈
It’s #NationalCatDay and #ThrowbackThursday, so here are some pictures of our former cat Pixel from 2005, enjoying some leashed outside time (he grew up indoor/outdoor in NZ, then became indoor-only except when leashed when we moved to the US). 🐈
The same pictures of ducks flapping wings in GIF form. 🦆
A couple of pictures of ducks flapping wings on the edge of the lawn this morning. 🦆
