I am just updating with photos for now.View from the computer room, all of our Japanese maples turned colors- but yellow or red, not all the same- so that was really pretty. We have 3 of them.
Then a couple weeks later she lost the other top tooth- now she has all 4 front teeth missing
Odessa made hair bows for Ada that made her look like Nellie from Little House . . . .

Ada was REALLY sick for a few days, and her smiley eyes definitely were frownie eyes those days- hard for me and her
These pics were actually when she was on the mend, but whining about something because she'd gotten so used to me doing everything for her. She even had me holding up her sippy cups of juice for her a couple of days. A world of difference between her and Odessa as patients!
A little while ago we cleaned out the garden, this was our "big haul" - next year we will start earlier with the warm crops . . .
While Ada helped me in the garden, Odessa helped dad keep the chickens happy while he finished the coop and we moved it to the garden spot
The chickens are getting so big, bigger than this photo. One was killed by a falcon last Sunday. We have been letting them out sometimes when we are home, but everyone was napping and a falcon swooped in and got one. We did get the chicken away from the falcon and buried it for Odessa's sake and because we don't want the birds thinking there is a free meal at our house.
