Tuesday and Wednesday were detrimental. The girls have baby chickens in the barn and it didn't take long for chicken snakes to find them. Two days in a row, the snakes snuck in and killed 5 of their chicks. Ken is a tough little farm girl and thinks nothing of it, whereas Kam will be my PETA child, she is emotional and doesn't want to see anything hurt. It's a wonder she eats meat. It is just a matter of time before she becomes a vegetarian. The second snake was discovered by Granny. She is terrified of snakes and after consuming a chicken, he could not slither out of the pen. Granny locked made sure he was locked in the cage, went inside and brought our her gun with 1 bullet, leaving it in the barn for Brian to kill when he got off work. Poor Granny-we sure keep her busy.
Yesterday things on the farm improved. No chickens were killed AND we had a new baby!!
I was with ken in Harleton at a ball game and B was in Diana with Kam at practice. When I got in the car I saw several missed calls from Granny's house. Oh Lord, I just knew Kam broke her arm at practice or something happened to Don or Mary. Fortunately nothing bad happened--she was just trying to find us to come over in a hurry because Abbie was in labor! Granny and Sissy were worried that they would have to help birth the new little one, so were frantic to find us! Abbie, Ken's horse, gave birth to a beautiful, healthy new colt. We can't tell if it is a boy or a girl...Granny thought it was a boy until she realized what she saw between his legs was his tail. Abbie is solid white with bright blue eyes and her colt is an unusual brown, gray color. We aren't exactly sure....last we saw of him he was still wet.
Last night Kam said, "Momma, this is the happiest day of my life!" Sweet girl. Just 48 hours ago she told Pop, "Pop, this is the saddest day of my life."
