Easy Way To Get Boots Off

4:00 a.m.

No rain. It was supposed to start raining.

Dark cloudy day.

I stayed in and read.

Didn't want to go out in the rain.

The rain that didn't show up.

Besides I was tired from yesterday.

4:45 p.m.

There is finally some drizzly rain!

No photos of the drizzly rain because it is too dark.

At least the camera thinks it's too dark

and the photos come out... too dark.

I did take a picture of the Buff Orpington 

that stayed on a roost all day.

She didn't come out this morning, when all the other hens ran outside.

Either she is not feeling well

or the day is dark enough that she wants to sleep.

Hope she is OK.

I took the photo of the Australorp 

tonight when I went out to lock up the coop.

I don't think she likes having a flash go off in her face.

"Get out of my face woman can't you see its past my bedtime?"

Wish I was feeling brighter and I could come up with a brilliant caption.

I think she is thinking something witty.

Since nothing much happened today

I thought I would record my 

secret for the easy way I get my boots off.

I wear plastic bags over my socks!

See... there was enough rain to get my boots wet.

Kristine came home with two new pillows last night

and asked if I wanted the plastic bags.

The bags are really big 

but they'll work out very well 

because I stuffed all the tall bits of the bag

in around the top 

and that will keep leaves and debris

from falling in the boots

when I'm raking and hauling stuff around.

Beside, the plastic bag 

makes it super easy to take off the boots!

No eggs.

Well, there could have been, 

but I forgot to look when I locked up the coop

and it is cold and wet and 

I don't want to put my boots back on and go look.

I just took them off.

I'll look later when I take Morgan out again.

I did look this afternoon.

Morgan is sleeping on Kristine's old pillows 

while I type this.

I'd hate to wake her up just to go look for eggs 

that most probably aren't there.

Sounds like a good excuse to me.
