Good Morning everyone!!!
It sure looks bright and sunny out there today. Hopefully I will get a chance to go out and get a bunch of stuff done.
We finally got our lawn mower fixed so that we can mow the yard. Heck it almost looks long enough to bale!!!
MJ, that baby chick is so...
Hi Everyone!!!
Thank God it turned out to be a lot better then what they said. It is so much nicer to get the sun again.
We are going to try to have our yard sale again this weekend and God willing, we will do alright. Gives the kids all a chance to make some money also.
Cristy, a...
Hello Everyone!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day and great weekend.
Welcome to all the new ones and I am sure you will find some wonderful friends here.
I finally had a chance to check out this thread and get caught back up. While I was here, something grabbed one of my...
Hello All!!
I agree with Opa, enjoy them while they are small. I remember people telling me that when my sons were little, and I thought they were nuts. Another thing I noticed is when they are tiny and hurting, a kiss and a hug makes it all better. Once they are grown, the sad part is, it...
Hello All!!!
It is a pretty windy day today. We went to the big, ha ha, Palo yard sales. We didn't see much except baby stuff, and we certainly do not need that anymore. We got a few things and had a good time anyway. Our super tall grand daughter got a couple things and she is happy...
Hello All!
My big black cat keeps trying to climb in my lap while I sit here at the computer. She thinks she is a parrot and wants on my shoulder. Try holding a huge cat on your shoulder!!! Doesn't leave much room for typing or anything else.
My little pup is laying at my feet. He is...
Hi All!
All of this rain, and nowhere for it to go around here. My hubby said we can't try to hatch out any more chicks until most of this water goes down. He doesn't want me to lose any more chicks from the rain.
Later the evening, the rain died down, it warmed up a little, and the sun...
Hello Everyone!!!
Remember that old saying? "Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink!!!" That is what we have around here. Maybe we should grow rice!!!! I think we have a good location for it.
So far, we have not lost any more chicks. We have even put different things around...
Hello All!!!
More Rain! The one good thing we thought of, is that it will really help the great lakes. Doesn't do much for our poor yard and chicks. I was out with an umbrella chasing them back in the coop! People, if they saw me were probably wondering what that crazy lady was doing...
Hello All!
Welcome to all the newcomers!!! It is always so nice to see so many new people coming in and learning about all the chickens.
Those are some cute pictures everyone! My son is trying to figure out where he put my camera cord so that I can post some. Hopefully he will come...
Hi All!!!
Thanks ever so much for the offers to help and prayers!
I live north of Ionia just 7 miles out. Our one son said he will try to help his Dad come up with something. We have never had water like this. I just got so depressed when I saw all those young chicks dead and floating in...
Morning all!!
This has not been a good morning for me. I am losing my baby chicks that are partially grown. The pond is overflowed there is water in the coop and nowhere for my chicks to go. I have counted 6 gone and need to check the coop and see if I have lost any more. With my hubby...
Hello Again!!
We went to the Maple Syrup festival in Shepherd on Friday and had a great time. Checked out all the yard sales and only spent about $20.00. My hubby was shocked! I actually didn't fill up the truck! Some of us wound up with sunburns, but had fun anyway.
Saturday we...
Hi All:frow
Such a nice day. I got all of the laundry done and hung out on the line. Everything smells all fresh.
Nice looking dog and babies. We have americanas too and even the chicks are feisty. A couple of them have some really nice markings and should be pretty birds.
I had put...
Hi All:frow
Another beautiful day to get out and enjoy all the nice weather.
Welcome to the new ones:welcome I live over by Ionia and have a few chickens and chicks that we have hatched out. They are my pride. I enjoy them so much.
We see Bald eagles around here every year. Two years...
Hi All!
There is a little village off of 57 called Vickeryville and this Saturday starting at 9am they are having an auction. They are selling all kinds of farm stuff, farm animals and poultry. It is supposed to be their one big spring event. I think they are even selling household things...
HI All!!
Everyone has been so busy on here and all the babies are so cute!!! The little squirrels are adorable.
We had such a great day fishing on Saturday. I got to catch the first fish, an nice 16 inch small mouth bass. The bad part is it is too early for it yet and had to let it go...
Hi All!
Another beautiful day!!! Before I go out and see what all I can get in to outside, I checked on this site.
I have allergies also and spring and fall are the worst for me. I have to take allegra D and an inhaler just in case. Most of the time it isn't too bad. You just learn...
Hi All!!
What a fantabulous Day! I took my 3 week old chicks outside and put them in a little pen. They were so happy to be out and stretching their little wings. Then we let the big ones out and they had a ball scratching in all the leaf piles. They are so used to me giving them...
Hi All!!!
What a beautiful day!!! I took all the blankets off the bed, washed them all and hung them on the line. Now they all smell so nice. I did the rest of the kids laundry also and hung it all out.
Sorry to hear about the layoffs. I got that when Electrolux moved to Mexico, then...
