Quote: For those of you who have contacted me wanting to know what a snug is. It is a smaller warm quiet room usually with a woodburner used more for family than guests. Crash - means just relax and chill out. Oesdog - sorry!!!!! I want a snug! Our house has an "open" floor plan - not...

It's sunny here and warm. But I have to wake up enough to go through with DS and inspect the chicken yard (aka, the back yard) because two of our hens have gotten a toenail stuck in something and torn their toenails off! So today is cleanup day and we're going to make see if there's anything out...

Quote: You could increasing the protein, reduce lighting so they can focus on making feathers. Everyone else hope your fine. I had a dream it snowed. A lot of snow. Lord knows I'm dreading it like crazy. I even turned the heat on Sunday morning at 3am I was so cold. Take care and...

Hi folks, Sorry to drop off the face of the earth this summer. What a godawful summer. I am so glad it's over. Almost. It was 91F here yesterday. Last night, I found out we have possums. Luckily, they weren't able to get into the Faraday Coop. My dog found it, at about 1am. I looked at it...

So we're getting ready to go away for a week - got a conference in Atlanta. Doing my Flylady chat to keep motivated to clean this place up enough to leave!

Quote: Great idea on getting a cheapo and using the other until you save up for a good one! And, I love that picture of you! I thought for a second that was your baby and wondered how you look so good with a newborn!

My son is insane. He's meeting his friends - *before* school. He woke me up at 6:30am to drive him to school. I'mtrying to wake up so I ca drive safely.

Good morning chicken wranglers. I think I've slept 20 of the last 24 hours. I'm slept out. Don't feel healthy yet but a bit better. Glad to hear it's warming up a bit for folks. We've got rain for the rest of the week. Okay - I'm off to wake the teen for school.

I'm up way the heck too early. The meds only helped a little. I'm breathing okay right now but laying down I feel like I'm drowning. Yuck. So, sitting up. Cough drops actually help too.

Quote: Sorry to hear about your hen. It's really harder when it's one you weren't expecting, I think. Just remember that she had a good chicken life with a caring chicken mom.

Good morning chicken wranglers This morning I'm off to the farmers market to pick up fresh veggies. This afternoon someone is coming by to buy our old coop. We converted the garden shed to a coop so the prefab one is being sold to a local BYCer. I have a very cuddly dog on my lap right now...

Quote: Oh yes. I lived in Italy for 2 years and you can be in another country in an hour... (In fact, we were several times.)

Oesdog is in Spain. Or somewhere like that. On a trip. Enjoying the heck outta life. Yep, I miss her too. Doesn't feel quite the same without her. Today I've gotta get the shallots planted and make harissa and get this house cleaned up. Oh, and prep the brooder for my new chicks I'm getting on...

Quote: I think it's karma too. But then, my karma ran over my dogma. I don't feel bad about the guy dying - I thought it was good riddance to bad garbage. Anyways - we're getting the gas lines run for our new furnace here today. Wheeee. And I get to fight with the furnace installers over the...

Good morning chicken wranglers. Nice weekend project math ace! And I love the Hippie Chick Egg Factory idea chics! Wish I was close enough to get some of those one buck chooks from ya, Rancher. Hope you at least had good uptake on it. Okay, folks. Gotta get off my fluffy butt and try to get...

Morning all: bang bang bang stomp stomp whirrrrrrr vrooooom That's what I wake to and hear all day every day. The new furnace and ductwork is going in. They're also putting in a roof jack for the new mechanical air return. Blah. It'll be nice when I have a furnace that works. Right now, we're...

Well, I'm waiting for the workers to get here to install our new furnace. We are having the attic and crawlspace sealed, insulated, and replacing the inefficient baseboard heat with a furnace. The solar panels were installed yesterday, and we're just waiting for the inspector to approve them and...

Good morning chicken wranglers. I'm up way too early on a satyrday so I can go to the Stockton Poultry Show. Soon as I've caffeinated sufficiently to drive safely, I'm heading out.

Quote: OWIE! No pics please. Ewwwwwww. At least not here. You can put them in a seaparate thread labelled "GRAPHIC" if you really wanna. Glad it's outta there and you're feeling better! Have you checked your water? Maybe you have too much minerals in the water? I know in Bologna, Italy...

DS and I spent yesterday evening playing Risk. It was fun. We haven't had a "family game night" for a long time. We're planning on starting up again this evening where we left off. He had invited a few friends over but they didn't show so I offered to play. He accepted and we had a good time...
