Bo and Hope...these are the days of our lives after all. Haven't had little ones in quite awhile but so far so good. Of course it's only been 24 hours since one of my local postal customers met me on the dock with a couple "culls". I had mentioned earlier in the day that my grandsons wanted me...
Oh boy...its been how long now? Long enough that our homemade plastic "brooder box" shattered when we got it out last night. But how do you say no to free chicks and hopeful grandsons? Here we grow again!
Yes the pet doors are still in use. All the ladies wander in and out at their leisure. When we first put them in the pen and house we clipped the middle section of plastic up so they could see in and out. Once they started using the door regularly we dropped the center and they have been fine...
The Lord continues to provide and amaze. My dad worried for years that I should get out of carrying mail and into managemet. I resisted beacuase of the complete distaste I have for most postal management. He passed before my knees gave out, so as far as he knew I was still a letter carrier...
Wow! I've been gone forever! I will never catch up, so I'll just jump right in here and say Hello again everyone!
Seems like southeast Kansas was about the only place that didn't get slammed last week with winter weather, so hope everyone has thrived and survived it all.
Checoukan, we...
Bridget from Michigan - that just moved to SE Kansas - have you found us here yet? There's a few people in your neighborhood that would love to meet you!
I just gotta get home from my mom's! We have had a great time while I recover, but my knees feel pretty good now, and I have to go back to...
Hey - Bridget from Michigan - did you just move to SE Kansas?
I just discovered that my new neighbor (Michigan plates on the car) has chickens in the back.
FEDex left your package on my porch across the street - your "live beneficial insects" are in my frig.
PM me if you get this. I'll...
Sharing thanks that my son-in-law has returned from another deployment. He has been gone for just over 9 months. My two older grandsons are SO excited to have their daddy home!
The youngest, who was less than a week old when Daddy deployed, is still working on it.
Oh Danz - I hope you don't wait as long as I did! I kept fighting work comp to help pay for mine. Post office challenged me for 6 years while I continued to walk 12-15 miles a day! They insisted that I never proved a "causal relationship" even though I walked a mail route for 16 years! My...
Okay Ivy - question for you. I'm 4 weeks into bilateral total knees, so how long do I have to wait before I CAN run again? Doctor said I could play ball again someday if I let him do this, and though it's tempting that wasn't my reason for finally getting them done. HowEVER, I do have some...
Hi guys! Don't think I'll even TRY to catch up with everything! Everyone is so busy!
Anyone remember me asking about giving Miss Nellie an egg to hatch? Well ... we did ... and she did! We were afraid we had lost the babies what with moving them around etc, but one of them made it! The...
Made for poultry but when I tried it my dogs liked it better than my chickens did! And boy oh boy did it ever firm up their poops! Biiggest you know whats I ever saw! And all nicely rolled in all the grains they couldn't digest! I had to go back to my green pastures mix to get everyone back...
Well - you're right. I tried it while I was away from the computer. Shoulda just stayed put, cause that's what Nellie did. She just went back to the empty box. So ... she can have it. The other girls can just use the test nests! We'll see what happens.
Maybe we'll get a couple new babies...
