not me that's for sure... Jerry bought me a 50cal black powder rifle and a 308/20gage combo for  our fist Valentines

. Who said diamonds had to be a girls best friend? 

Now that's a Valentine's day present! 

I like diamonds...but you take me to a gun show and I'm like a kid in a candy store.  Besides, diamonds go with everything, and look especially nice on a trigger finger...

 My goodness, what brought up guns?

Paulla said no snakes I have to take the one away that I find here

Well bad day. 

First, son saw a huge rat snake go under the chicken coop, so I went into the coop to check things out.  Up in the rafters, was a smaller one...probably a female.  I put a .22 in it, but it dropped to the floor and out a hole before I could get it again.  So now every time I go out there I'll be nutting out....hate snakes

The broody sitting on Call eggs that are due with the batch I'm getting ready to put into LD must have gotten scared during the storms last night, and cracked the 3 eggs she still had.  The lightening and thunder was huge and right on top of us...poor girl.  The eggs are no good, and so close to hatch, too. 

Son's duckling that started flipping and staggering this morning?  She passed in my hands a little while ago.  She was seizing really bad there at the end, so I just held her still and talked to her.  She'd stop for a couple minutes, talk to me, then start seizing again.  He was crying...had me crying...and I kept telling her she could go.  She finally did, and he was a brave young man to go and pick out a spot to bury her.  When he was done, he put flowers on her grave.    I pointed out to him that he gave her a wonderful afternoon/evening.  He took them all outside for a swim and a walk when he got home from school, and hung out with them reading a book, and babying her. 

Oh yeah...when I went to town earlier to get epsom salts for the duckling, there were big highway signs twisted up and blown over....only 5 miles from me! 

Ok...think I'm done now.

these are my favorite

This is my philosophy on predators here. There all beautiful and welcomed here as they don't bother the animals.  Because if they do...... 

Now that's a Valentine's day present!
