Just stoppin' in to say howdy...

I just got home maybe an hour ago....coffee meter is running low so I's gotta go perculate a bit before I tell about what I got today.

Dace! I love that pic!

hey Quail!!!

So we tucked everyone in...reluctantly. Even tho its a little after six.. its still just a bit light. oh the days are getting longer! sigh... makes me long for the summer days when i was too tired to stay up until it got dark.

but its going to be 5* tonite and clear clear clear so we can see the big creepy moon.

so poor Fred has been sulking alone in the garage. the barncats dont make very good company and he's been hanging out in his cage under the heat lamp. but he was out pecking around a little bit tho and he looks like he's getting his feet under him.

so we figured it was time for a booty call.

i went and got Lil Buff off her perch (boy wasn't she surprised) and took her in to him. he was VERY glad to see her. immediately he perked up and got a little sparkle back in his eye -- and he showed her where the food was. we closed up the cage and they were snuggling.

Lil Buff is absolutely one of my favorite little hens. she's one of the Original 5 and is a good momma. she's a little buff brahma, very small, and has a nice disposition. she always sleeps next to Fred on the roost so she was happy to see him.

a couple summers ago Lil Buff had her first clutch. when they were old enough that she didn't have to be with them all the time, she would go in early and roost next to Fred. later, after i got everyone into the hen house for the nite I'd separate out her 'kids' and herd them into their own coop...then I'd call to her 'Buff - do you want to come and sleep with your babies?"

And I'll be darned if she didn't know exactly what i was talking about.

She'd pop down and go right into their coop.

Lil Buff is one of the reasons why I like chickens so much. I can't help it, I just love her.

So does Fred
;-)

Home Cheapo?????

Too funny free!

Hey do any of you remember Franko American? They made a knock off spaghetti-o's.

We used to say "its spaghetti-o's for the cheapo's". I still laugh when my sister says that...I'm such a dork.

Tools
I have to leave the credit card at home when I go to a place where they sell tools

Love that chick pic Dace.

I don't envy you one bit ohiofarmgirl, I hate being cooped up. I am so glad that we had some days with little or no rain, so I could go out and do stuff. Doesn't even matter so much what it is, just so I can be outside
