Long drive.
Home late.

Tired.

Kristine had dinner and treats ready.

Kristine didn't let the chickens out today

because there were three raccoons trying to get into the shed

and into the chicken feed.

She chased them away with the car.

I hope they were frightened enough to stay away.

Good thing I didn't let the hens out before I left.
