Mary and Leroy d'Entremont have returned from their trip to Ontario, where Leroy was working as staff for several days of sheep dog trials in Kingston.
They came over to pick up the goats and the chickens. I thought I might run away into the woods with the chickens, but in the end I decided to do the right thing.
Anna was glad to see them all again, and they were glad to see her.
Leroy cast off.
The goats --especially Molly -- missed Mary. Often we saw Molly standing quietly, gazing off in the direction of Pubnico with a mournful expression.
I think Mary missed her goats, too.
A floating farm.
But -- what's this? Four hens stayed behind. We think you should keep them for us, Mary and Leroy told us.
So we did. They seemed contented enough, and surprisingly able to manage on their own without Chevron to boss them around. He would be shocked if he knew.

Hi Anne: we're having glorious weather over here too! All the great days we didn't get last year - what energizing days they are too.
So glad you now have your own small flock. Also glad that you are "capacity building" on your island and helping it to become the tourism spot it deserves to be.
Nova Scotia needs more "come from aways" like you folks.
Oh I'm so glad some chickens got to stay.
Really enjoy your blog. Led to it by Ironwood's Heather J. Glad you were able to keep the 4 chickens.
Four new chickens! Can a goat be far behind??
