Rip robin williams

Broadway's Aladdin Touching Tribute 

I met Robin Williams once  a long time ago when he was filming Patch Adams and my sister was at UNC hospitals with leukemia. I ran into him at a coffee shop and he was nothing but kind, funny and genuine person was in the present. Its hard to think that somebody that had so much light & laughter also had such a darkness and depression that lead to such a tragic loss for the world. One of my first early childhood memories is watching Mork & Mindy reruns. Then growing up seeing comic relief, hook, Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, and coming of age with dead poets society. I was a fan long before I met him and even bigger of a fan after.
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." -George S. Patton

RIP Robin Williams"

My pups.

I have some beautiful dogs if I don't say so myself! 

New hens

Meet Minny and Celia. Since they need help (missing beak and feathers) I figured I would name them after characters from The Help. 

They are both pretty beat up with the buckeye missing half the top beak and the Dominique is missing a lot of feathers on her back. But seem sweet so I assume they were picked on in their previous home and not the aggressor. I wish I knew how old they are. 
After sun down I went out to check
on them and they were sleeping next to izzie who is the outcast from the original four and that made me happy :) 

Update 8-20-14, 
So I don't think the new hens free range before. I let the door open this morning and they didn't rush out like the others and I came home and found them still in the coop. Strange birds

Karma in farm life

Today Elsa was found dead in my yard, no apparent cause. She was alive and fine at 5:30 and stiff at 8. Izzie is also missing. Since she's the one that's impossible to catch unless she sleeping I have no idea what could've gotten a hold of them, besides karma catching up to me for killing the rooster. 
Update: 8-12-14 
So I found izzie this morning. I searched the yard from 6 to 6:30 and didn't see her and then went inside and saw her trying to get into the coop at 6:45 right before I left for work. I feel bad she spent last night in the storm and I didn't really think I liked her this much. I kept them all locked up today and didn't look her over because I had to go. Still sucks Elsa died. She was my best layer
