We have a lot of black walnut trees around here. The squirrels devour them. I remember when I first saw the green ball type outer casing they have. I didn't know what the heck it was. LOL.

I think Priscilla (buff orp) is going broody. She has been struggling (at least to me) to lay. She will sit for hours, then get up for a while, just to go back and sit for hours again and finally lay an egg. Now she hasn't laid for the past couple of days. She has been trying to sleep in the nest box the past couple of nights. We have had to remove her and put her on the roost bar. She's going broody isn't she? I don't want her to go broody.

When shes in the nest box does she puff up and growl when you try to mess with her?

I automatically assume anyone that says anything other than "pee-cahn" is high or drunk.

OMG

Somewhere there is a picture of me dressed as the cat in the hat with Things 1&2. If you do that, you could make the youngest Little Cat Z. And anyone who refused to dress up is "a librarian" or "the storytime reader who makes the story come to life". Make them carry the book.

When mine went their first year, they had just turned 3 and I made white kitty cat costumes because they were obsessed with cats. And I used a Sharpie to put whiskers and noses on so they didn't wipe it off. They won a costume contest at the park, wore their costumes to story time at the library, and went to a daytime trick or treat event at the town square. So, I got three uses from all of that work.

OMG that is awesome and adorable! And it must have been a great costume! Lol

Yes it is. My grandfather had nut orchards and so he was my expert on these things and he said puh-con. He also said it's a-mund because they knock the L out of them at harvest.

OMG

It's puhcon for me. All muns, I have a tendency to drop the d at the end. Not always but most of the time. Pray lean (praline) is correct (and are yummy!). ! I always say en-velope. Not IN or ON. EN. So, EHN? Anyways... who says EYE talian? That sounds like a really bad Gone With The Wind type southern accent. At least in my head it does lol! Why yes I will have the salad with some eye-tail-i-yun (sound it out lol) dressing on the side....


That's too funny!

hilarious!!

Also wait... I think sometimes I do say ehn velope... so now I don’t know.

I think I sometimes drop the D on almonds too but not usually but idk.

Now I’m all confused as to what I actually say cause I think it changes a lot

When i was a kid we had all kind of fruit trees and stuff and 4 pucan trees. My dad used to ram them with the truck to assist in picking. Did it with the eating and cooking pears too. I also remember the bees around the pear trees after they would start falling and rotting on the ground

It didn’t damage the trees!?

And did you ever get stung by the bees?

The almonds were harvested with padded bats and a special vehicle that shook the tree at the trunk. They'd fall onto canvas tarps and be gathered up while the next tree was being shaken.

Sounds like a good system.

She didn't give much of a fuss when my hubby would (try to) gently pull her out of the nest box and put her on the roost bar. We figured it was because it was night time. So I went to go try and pull her out just a few minutes ago. She just softly complained a little like hey, whatcha doing? I'm trying to sit here. Oh ok, I guess I am coming out of the box, not sure why tho. So I looked her over again. Ended up putting her down outside. She went to get a few drinks from a waterer. I turn away and go clean the coops. I finish and go to put my bucket and stuff up. Turn around, where is Priscilla? She's back in the box.
