Our Ken had a great day. All of the chickens were in the roost, with Chantelle in the grooming room and Lee in the kitchen. It doesn't get any better than that. Lots of little jobs were completed, the remainder of Chantelle's agility equipment was taken to Kennetcook and her fence was repaired with Ken-like engineering precision (translation, lots of planning and interesting execution). Regalridge projects seemed to be underway although their origins were a mystery to all but Our Ken. He surfaced occasionally to run an errand or move a vehicle and was ever-present at meal times, followed closely by his visiting sidekick. Included in Ken's day was a visit to Shelagh. Now, remembering Chantelle's excursion and misadventure, we thought Ken might do better. Not so. He took with him her picture albums that had been saved from her home. She was enjoying them with Ken when she appeared to suffer a 'spell'. Ken managed to have her taken care of but it took the wind out of his sails and was a cause for some concern. The response from the staff was that 'she has these often near medication time' which did nothing to reassure any of us.
The kennel is busy. Stickley has bonded with Chantelle and stands to advise her that his turn to have a spin has come. Subtle but effective is the big Greyhound. Carter enjoyed the great outdoors much of the day with his pal Penny. Penny likes Carter and feels she will be even more attractive as soon as Chantelle offers up her promised spa treatment. She and Chantelle have had a chat and Penny received an invitation to a Terrier walk on May 29 as long as she minds her manners on the grooming table. Savannah and Lucy took care of the new arrival Dewi, shepherding him around their run on separate occasions, followed by Nemo who was not impressed that an interloper had arrived to take a turn with his women. Poe did his meet and greet routine with a special speech for Stickley. He is not much of an outdoor fellow so it's an in and out for him, with a request for repatriation to his run immediately that he is finished.
The house crew enjoyed the kitchen activity and the warmer weather. Now if it woulod only rain so that they could go muddin'. Charlotte is praying to the god of April showers so we fear water from the sky will fall soon. Clem has enjoyed her visit back aqt Regalridge and moves between teh good beds in the den and the kichen so that she can be in the way to her heart's content. Nick and Patti are doing fine, both eating sufficiently and taking life in their stride. Nick went on the road trip to see Shelagh and enjoyed his car ride. Scout and Viola have had the opportunity to exercise their lungs - they enjoy that. And Paula responded in kind - she enjoyed that. Clint and Lily are buffed and shined and ready for next week's shows. Both look great. And Marilla continues to torture Lee.
Food was plentiful. The day began with lattès and hot blueberry scones from the George House cookbook - worth the price just for that recipe. A rustic scone with fresh berries, they were much enjoyed with the bacon and eggs requested by Our Ken. Lunch was egg salad rolls - just because. Sometimes egg salad is just what the doctor ordered and this was one of those days. Finally, dinner was put on the table. Ken and Chantelle had decided that they would take the trip to Kennetcook before dinner and after feeding. Well,, Kennetcook is not close and there was a lack of communication regarding the fencing project. Dinner was a roast chicken with lemon and rosemary, riced potatoes, fresh carrots, green beans and squash, gravy and Lee's fabulous stuffing. There was some consideration to feeding the two miscreants in the kennel. Dessert was America's Test Kitchen's gingerbread.
