Friday: Today, Lori told me to just goof around. So I went to Little Qualicum Falls and sat in the morning sun, smelling the humid air and listening to a podcast about the drug politics in Portugal (they’ve de-criminalized drug use there, did you know that?).
I also baked three pies: an apple, a cherry and a strawberry-rasberry-blueberry, all with the traditional Canadian crust. I will be able to eat pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner until I leave on Tuesday.
And I’ve played with the new baby chickens that were delivered today. With the laying hens, they get their own babies and take care of them themselves, but with the meatbirds, Lori buys them freshly hatched from a farm in the mainland. The ones that arrived today were probably hatched late last night and they’re so small and yellow. Like little cottonballs. I showed them where to get water and food and watched them run around on their barely stable legs.
It was a good day. I will sleep well.
