RIP, Little Chicky Bird

Yes, the little puffball I mentioned the other day, pictures of which you have not yet seen, has gone missing. Given the vast quantity of predators we have around here, including our own terriers, it's safe to say that it has become a meal. Or at least a small snack.
Today we have had the fun of cousins and grandchildren visiting. This means no farmwork has been done. MSP did have her riding lesson today. I even got to ride. Hey, Ranchwife; my elbows weren't flapping in the breeze! But apparently I was trained in hunter seat, and, according to Jacki the instructor, that's "my problem." :) I'll be working on that in the next few weeks. JP4ling#1 had a birthday party to go to today, and Grandpa drove her. It was at one of those party/arcade/bowling alley/pizza/noise places. She told Grandpa that her favorite part was, "Going to the arcade with Grandpa." He was touched.
That's about it for today. We spent most of it lazing on the deck; we all even had naps! I feel so decadent....
