Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Ok... This is one Mom's and grandmom's will appreciate... DS told me our granddaughter had not pooped enough over a period of time and unleashed me to provide all the cherry tomatoes she wanted. Now its important to know that other than fruit snacks, cherry tomatoes are her favorite.

So I went out and picked all the ripe cherry tomatoes and proceeded to give them to her. Wa la... She blew out her diaper and declared her tummy felt better.

She's loving farm life!

Nothing like poop patrol -- it never ends!

funny thing is that being grandparent means not interfering... My grandfather said it best. Parents are all armatures. Grandparents are not much better. By the time you become a great grand parent no one cares what you have to say. I watch my kids make classic mistakes I made as a parent and bite my lip. I think grandpa was right. best to stay quiet until asked. btw, when I became a grandparent, first call I made was to him to ask how to be a good one.

OK OK, my story now!!

Today we're driving into town. Myself, DH and 8 y/o kiddo start talking about what kiddo is going to do with us once we die (we are morbid like that and talk/joke about death often). I've said a million times, just toss my body into a cardboard box, cremate me and scatter my ashes with my pets.

Piping up from the back seat, kiddo asked *So, you're gonna be ashes?*. I said *Yup! Why?* He replied, *Why don't I put you in the chickens dust bath so you can keep them free of fleas and ticks?*

Never thought about it.... one last thing I could do for my chickies!!

Rolling & laughing. The local authorities might not care for that plan, but they do not care for chickens, either! Illegal dumping of remains in illegal chicken dust bath! LOL

Perfect. That will give it an interesting twist on the flavor. Let me know

For those that don't know, chorizo is sausage without the tube.
