The Imperious Hens have hung out on the back porch for several years, avoiding the sun or the rain. Zip didn’t want them in his favorite spot, so he chased them away. The hens and Zip seem to have reached an understanding, and today, in the rain, Zip was offered hunting in the marsh (he likes rain too), and the hens took back their spot. We’ll see how Zip reacts to this when he returns.

It was nice to see them back.
