    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    I'm on the list, which is several years long. But it's just for this county. I need to apply to other counties, but their waiting list is probably also years long. If I hadn't had to buy a generator (or pay the rent here for three months in trying to prove I was more trustworthy and get the...

    That's just it though. I can't find anywhere that is affordable. Even renting an outhouse would cost more than I make per month.

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    Okay, I've been avoiding this for a while. Update time. Things had started looking better, which of course meant that they were going to get worse again. Much worse. I didn't want to say anything so as not to jinx it, but the universe found out anyhow. I had been working with the owner of...

    You don't need a pond, especially with scovies. ;)

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    I have a rampaging raccoon on my hands... Well, wish it was in my hands so I could strangle it!!! Since Friday, I have lost 5 brahma and 3 call ducks. And I thought they were secure. Adding more security stuff now. More bolts and latches and hardware cloth.

    🤨 You're the same age as me! I might actually enter my new girl in the Spencerville show. As for Netherland Dwarfs... BLEH! :lau I just don't like them, lol!

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    A bit has happened since my last update. The drama involving my current habitation is still ongoing but I should have a final answer, one way or another, by late next week. Positive thoughts my way, please! My favourite rabbit, my orange Flemish Giant buck, decided to follow in my footsteps...

    Sad news... Lost one of my favourite does and two of her kits to the heat. Six kits survived (managed to cool them off enough), and they are 5 weeks old today so hopefully they will do okay without their mom.

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    It's been restored now. That storm was wild. Sheet lightning like strobe lights constantly and heavy downpours for well over an hour. Windy enough to have blown off the roof from one of my new rabbit cages. Poor bunnies got an unwanted shower. No other damage that I could see though. All...

    Of COURSE we had a massive storm (the likes of which I have never seen!) and the power goes out! It's not fair!!! No idea when power will be restored either.

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    I didn't want to say anything until it was actually done, but... POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED!!! The owner/landlord had it put in their name. It's wonderful to be on the computer without the loud drone of the generator in the background! Actually, it's weird. I will be devouring the internet...

    Oh, forgot about that. One saving grace in my situation is an old-fashioned hand pump. It's a pain filling the buckets to water the animals, but better than having to purchase those big bottles.
