175 pages later and I'm caught up... only to leave again and fall behind another (likely) 200 pages.

What I've gleaned from those 175 pages:

1. @Tesumph looks like Emma Watson with her pixie hair.
2. @KikisGirls cleans her dog's water bowl on a daily basis. AND her chicken waterer, also daily. She is completely insane.
3. @Cyprus is having some caretaker issues and straight bad luck with some new hatchlings.
4. Tessie lost a rooster to a snake (great necropsy pics, btw). I learned not only what a snake attack looks like but also how rooster testes appear. I'm glad it was the EE you couldn't stand and not one of the favorites.
4. @littleprairieheartsfarm had some doggie issues. Hope your pup is on the mend.
5. @Pugsabi has the most terrifying napping companion I have ever seen.

I returned home to a missing rooster and a greenhouse full of nearly wilted plants as well as some very hungry pheasants (they were completely out of food). I give mom a fail for watering though I was able to revive the plants and they will be fine.
RIP Marilyn Manson. You were a good roo - you will be missed.

ETA: @The Farmers' Daughter literally got a house delivered!!! It's so cute! I love old farm houses - congrats!

Was this your peach picking trip? Are you sick of peaches yet?

Thanks for the birthday wishes. So far it's been a wonderfully lazy day. I even got to sleep in!

I can't remember, I'll have to ask hubs when he gets back in. I want to think it is somewhere down in the hill country. I know there were lots of free range areas with signs along the side of the road. There was more than once when I about got nose to nose with cattle on the road when I was down there riding my motorcycle. LOL

Did that on River Road outside of Baton Rouge in a triumph spitfire going 90 through the curves when I came face to face with a full grown bull. Talk about slam on the brakes. (It wasn't funny at the time )

Very small sports car for you youngsters!!!

No, it isn't.... less so on a motorcycle. Had to change my drawers once riding up in Canada and came around the corner to a full grown moose, darn near went under him. Managed to stay upright but it was close. Another fun one was in Yellowstone, stuck in a line of cars and a buffalo is walking down the road betweeen the cliffs and the cars... cept i wasn't in a car. Miss those days!

Ty! It is exciting. Lots of work ahead of me, but the end result will be worth it.

Yeah, I would have been on the ground if I had been on our baby Honda. (it didn't go that fast though, only went 55 with 2 small people on board, it was a 125. LOL Our "2nd car"

I don't get sick of peaches... but, no. It was a trip to Yachats, Oregon. Great time with the cousins and company.
Also, I did edit my post - pretty big to have a freaking house delivered!!! It's so cute - I love the little kitchen.
