sometimes I feel discouraged

Didn't do a Sunday post yesterday because the baby robin was just so exciting. I'm making up for it today instead. We sang 'There is a balm in Gilead' in choir and did one line ever stay in my head today:

Sometimes I feel discouraged
and think my work's in vain ...

I lost the weaker one of the Delaware pullets. I'm not clear about what happened, I didn't see bloody or even runny poops, she'd been more active than before the round of meds, seemed to be recovering. I've moved the remaining pullet in with the big hens at this point. This year has not been a good chicken year for us.

RIP Raindrop

We're going to need some reviving of the soul around here, indeed!
