Two pair, several ways...

Well, Steve forgot his keys at work yesterday and couldn't get in his office to work on his paper. A bummer for him, but we were all delighted...he had to come home!

So we had breakfast and then I went and took the pool cover off and then I noticed that Isabelle was in the nest box and it reminded me to check for eggs.

When I got out there, I found that Rosabelle had passed on to her reward.

I ran in and got Steve and he ran out with me. I started calling the others and made note of all of them...except Roy.

I found Roy, passed away, in the little shed where their feed is kept.

"Ol' Roy", we called her.

I brought them out and laid them under the shade tree and then we got the boys. They came out and petted them and we talked about how chickens don't live long and this 100+ weather was likely too much for them. Then we talked about memories, mostly of Roy because they didn't get too attached to Rosabelle.

Then we buried them under the shrub where they most liked to hang out.

We're rather subdued at our house today.

Are you guys on cable or DSL?

Here's the link to the full sized file...

I didn't download the program you recommended (yet) it asked for registration for the free trial and it intimidated me. (heh) Not sure I'd figure out how to work it anyhow...

Do you have time to see if you can save it down to a reasonable size? If you have high speed to download it in the first place, of course. If it's easy to do... and email to me maybe?

Just say no if it's hard... this dumb accidental video is not worth a lot of trouble. What I should do sometime is actually record ~good~ video.
