Cat update for week ending May 2

For Caturday this week, a couple of alien cats, a couple of GIFs, Pepper, Poppy, Spud, and mushrooms… sounds like ingredients.

The light-orange alien cat visited the breezeway again, without incident:

Flock Friday for May 1

For Flock Friday this week, chickens and ducks, of course, plus a bathing bird, and a fake bird.

Chickens on the potato planters in the veggie garden. Enjoy it while you can, girls; you’ll be evicted soon, when we’re ready to start planting:

I shared a picture of the chickens with drone frames in my recent bee post, with a followup in the subsequent post; here are a couple more photos of them not sure about the frames, before getting stuck in:

To help discourage visits by the heron, I added a fake one on the edge of the pond:
