Finally!!

The gang went out of the pen!! Yesterday, late afternoon, the temp went over 30 degrees - not much, but it sure did feel good!

When I opened the gate, they ran out except for Maude! Wilma and Betty ran for a patch of dirt to walk on. It didn't last long though - Charlie saw the dang resident hawk and barked a warning. They foolishly didn't pay any attention to him so I had to shake the rice jar to get them all back safely in the pen.  Maybe today they will be able to stay out longer. I felt so sorry for them being penned in during the day but it had been just too cold to stay outside and keep an eye on them!

At least the sunset was pretty:
