WE CAUGHT HIM!!!!!

Posted in The Homestead
Oh my goodness, I could hardly believe it when I went out to the car to put something away in it and I saw the peacock again! This time he was right up against the fence in the back yard. I don't know how he snuck by the dogs next door but he did! Jeff came out with a slice of bread and the girls were at the back door. I managed to put the dog kennel (I should call it just a kennel I guess because the dogs don't use it anymore) right along the fence without spooking him.
He walked right into the kennel!!

Mark got home pretty much right after this. He and I took Jeff with us in the truck and went to the feed store to buy him a bigger house. We found a 10 x 10 chain link kennel for him. Here's the gang putting it together...

And, here's Joseph in his new digs! It's so very cool to look out the sunporch window and be able to watch him. When he thinks no one is looking he seems very relaxed.


Well, this is what we've been up to this weekend! I hope you have had as pleasing a weekend!

Blessings,
Leigh-Ann

Pray with St. Francis


Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is discord, vision. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy.


O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
