Rural Sauk Rapids/Rice Area received a quick shot of heavy showers. Now in downtown St. Cloud it is windy!
That's what it looked like on my radar app. I was hoping it would slip just north of me. So far so good!

Congrats! Great job...can't wait to see the video.I got a Blue ribbon which I think is pretty good!
Also peeps, my mealworm farm has taken off, they are coming out my ears! I'm beginning to spend more time on them than my chickens, no good!
I've listed them on craigslist, but for any of my peeps on here, you can have them for 1/2 price
Mealworms
They really didn't pick. It's a plastic and it didn't seem to fascinate them enough. I will say though...that I think it was Cluckies who said her chickens were afraid of it at first. When I lined the coop with it....I did half and then two weeks later I did the other half. I think it did give the birds moments to pause and look at it differently. Ha. But overall I've been happy with it. You are right about keeping the shiny part shiny and reflective. or Refractive or whatever it's supposed to do. Last winter I would say it made a 10-20 degree difference. depending on the weather. Overcast/Sunny, etc etc.Do the chickens peck at this?
Wouldn't painting it be counter-productive? Don't you want the silver to be reflective?
Hey Ralphie this is my cousin's back yard . Yep banana trees in IL .
I wrote this before 7am. my cousin was going too pick me up between 7-7:30. He showed up about 5 minutes to 7 and I left, forgetting to post it..
I found my first "hen of the woods" today. We only found one, and I actually stumbled across it. I kept a small piece to try and sent the rest with my cousin.
I went to post a picture and it was the only one I did not take a picture of. Dumb me! I was so excited to find it I forgot to photograph it!
Above is an "Old Man of the woods" we were not sure and left it be, when we got home we were sure. My Cousin thought that's what it was in the woods but said they are not that good to eat. There appears to be no lookalikes..
The next two below, we have no idea never tried to find out, I just took the picture because it was "interesting".
These are some shelf mushroom, not edible but cool..
Another one simply took for the sake of the photo.
I thought the one above was an immature chicken. My cousin disagreed. He broke off a piece and it did not bleed milk. After I got back and looked I think it is a type of oyster and edible. I have not talked to him to tell him that. He might over rule me. It is 50 miles away so either way I doubt we will go back for it.
I am really enjoying mushrooming. I just wish I had started younger and was more sure of myself. I will be going slow. Thanks to Jerry and BC for getting me into this! I can't wait to hit Jerry's woods!
Judy is still ill today. I should have known better than to marry a Norwegian/polack. She is dumb and stubborn and not letting me take her to the hospital! I being mild manner and agreeable would go right away if she said she wanted to take me in....
Oh my major purchase.... I bought a plucker, a whiz bang type. It says on the box it will do 2- 8 pound chickens in 15 seconds! The boys are going to start disappearing this week.
So if you have chickens to pluck, I might be able to help you out!!! Also I am going to sell my smaller hand one.
Hopefully, I will make some kraut today.
And finally a mushroom picture I thought was just plain good looking...
TTYL..
For those of you not carrying about mushrooms ..sorry I drug on and one about them.
PS. I forgot to mention I found a chicken it was about 25 ft up in a tree. I thought because I found it my cousin should have to climb up and get it. He refused! I even offered to lift him up to the first branch.
Holm: I'm going to sit down and watch this video soon. I almost asked DH to go to the fair because of the Poultry shows. Also my cousin was showing her cattle and did the draft horse/cart thing too. But I saw on the news the crowds....--bellybutton to buttholes there. Living where I live...I hate lines for food and lines for bathrooms. It doesn't feel efficient enough, LOL. Of course our kids are asking to go lately. Maybe should take them there at least once.... DH and I really enjoyed it when we did go there.http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/...esota-state-fair-2016-day-2/?e=lNjIkrTsKwGPAQ
U have to look in the poultry part for my interview. Just thought I would share!
You may want to look into a LCHF diet. takes care of many issues, auto immune, leaky gut, ect. Diet DoctorNot much to say here. My HIDA scan came back normal so we really don't know why I have the attacks that I do. Oh, well they do not happen weekly really so I am going to do more of a food diary and watch for triggers and see if there is anything there. Otherwise the Dr. wants to do a scope of my stomach. Not sure I want to go down that road. At least the Galbladder is functioning correctly.
Tornadoes south of us closer to our cabin on Lake Sarah but we only received .03 of rain last night.
More and more of our Bovan pullets are beginning to lay and they are not yet 18 wks. Weird, I still can't believe one started at 14 wks. That was just odd! Butchering Cornish Crosses on Friday. May half to a third depending on how things go and how many are around to help. The rest next week Friday.
I have to report back to work tomorrow. I have 40 preschoolers this year in my two classes. That is the most I have had so far. It should make for an interesting year. My kids sure are ready to get back to the school routine. Or maybe it is me! haha
