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

[peckpeckpeck]

Donkeys are the sweetest. I have one, her name is Lupita!

Nooo!! Is that a baby donkey??? Sooooo frickin cute.

Weekend plans: finish winterizing the run with clear plastic. Finish securing greenhouse with hardware cloth so chickies can "free range" there when it's raining
Sunday = mushroom foraging

Dinner: beef veggie soup

Added squatch watchers to my signature

My chickens already take whatever liberties they want. Why stop at my cremated ashes!

Ok I'm finally caught up now.

Chiggers, yes, curse those invisible buggers. We never ever sit in the grass in spring or summer, We spray our boots to walk in woods,yes you must wear boots or you will suffer.... and you tuck your pants into your boots. And there are ticks....but they're nothing compared to chiggers. Autocorrect doesn't recognize that word, lol. They are very real.

chiggers are like Sasquatch everyone talks about them but nobody has ever really seen one.Chiggers must die
Take mosquitoes with them.

When we got her, she could barely walk, dirty as all get out, had bite marks & missing toe nails, & was scared of everything. She didn't know how to play so she just took all the bones & toys we have her & lined them up in front of her in the most OCD way, like she couldn't believe they were hers!

Now she is spoilt beyond belief! She has her own teddy bear. Ravages all the fruit in our yard.

And she's a pacifist. Can't stay in the room if we're swatting at mosquitoes. The chickens boss her around. So much for a herd dog!!

She is a doll!!!!

We are taking our son to his first Alabama Crimson Tide football game tomorrow!! Roll Tide Roll!
He has never wanted to go before and not too interested in sports, but wants to now. I just want to hear the band and the atmosphere is something amazing!

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!!

Oh. My. God.

I think this may be the most hilarious thing I have ever read. Period.

Your kid freaking RULES.

A relative of mine requested her body be donated to science, and so it was done. Her husband said he later received a check for $500 from that institute. I was thinking I could request donating my body to a medical institute, then give the money to Goodwill, and thus, give my body to Goodwill....
