Apparently you can’t die of embarrassment..

I was going to say welcome to the neighborhood.
You had me at “Lonely Chatty Locksmith”

No gloves?
I can see that is an embarrassing oversight in the cold!
I have some pink and purple striped gloves with a big hole in one finger that would have coordinated nicely with your otherwise impeccable outfit.

I have a pair of gloves, that are falling apart. They’re old as the hills and my coonhound and I got into a tug o war match with one. You can imagine what that one looks like lol.

Ya know I really should! My hubby works for the county so he has to be at the meetings. I’ll go in with a chicken of course, and complain about the time change. “Ain’t enough light gettin to my sittin hens”! Blow hubby a kiss “see you at home hunny buns”.

I may have you beat in the "embarrassing moments file"....

Several years ago, my husband & I had just moved into a new home that had a hot tub in the back yard. We decided to check it out after a long day of unpacking boxes. Several problems:

1. It was January in Colorado, about 10:30pm, cold, 12+" of snow on the ground.
2. I hadn't found or unpacked my bathing suit yet...I was in my birthday suit with only a bath towel. No problem, the hot tub is right by the back door.
3. We closed the house door behind us. It locked.
4. At least my husband had his terry robe & flip-flops. He "volunteered" to be the one to go meet a new neighbor, use their phone to call a locksmith to come let us it.
5. I was "stuck" in the hot tub for about an hour until the locksmith showed-up, opened the door & left. He was lonely & "chatty".

How's that for my 1st post introduction!

Hi Shari! Sounds like you’ll fit right in!!
One time I had just taken a shower and had on a tank top and undies. I was going to run outside and grab my robe. ( it was drying on the clothes line). Well I popped out ran into the yard and the oil guy was delivering my heating oil! MAYBE it wouldn’t have been so bad except I had on “joke” undies with a big rooster on the backside and an..adult phrase written on them. I ran inside got dressed, and went back out, hoping he didn’t notice. Well it’s been a few years now, and he still call me Mrs.Cock-a-doodle-doo.
(Keep in mind I live in the country, mostly isolated in a wooded area. I typically don’t go running around outside half-naked).

For those that need a laugh at someone else’s expense, read on.
My area is mostly farm country, with deep wooded areas. There’s been coyote sightings, and I’ve personally seen at least three. Needless to say I’ve been on high alert. Some neighbors of mine seen or heard coyotes in her backyard and called the police. The police in turn called animal control. (I guess in case it was just dogs, idk) While this was going on my hens starting making a ruckus. It’s about 7:30 pm, dark and cold, the chickens are up for the night. I heard my roosters crowing and what sounded like hurt/scared chickens. I grabbed my coat, and shoes and ran down to the coop. Long story short, the police, and animal control come by and there I am in.. pink Garfield pj bottoms, a Stranger Things tshirt, a polka dotted robe, a 15 year old parka, the fur lining on the hood it ripped and flapping in the wind. And to top it off I’m wearing my husbands work boots, with a serving fork in one hand (my closet weapon), and my sons lilo and stitch flash light.
Oh did I mention I have motion lights so my yard is lit up like the 4th of July.
In the end the game warden has to come and deal with the coyotes. (I’ll believe it when I see it), my chickens are fine and I didn’t die of embarrassment. However I won’t be going to any town council meetings any time soon…

Love your garb
A mishmash of items is a necessity

Two things I find peculiar are
- your local law enforcement actually does something about wildlife calls?
- they just went on your property without trying to inform you?

Ha noooo the local law enforcement does not do anything about wildlife. They came out to make the elderly lady that called feel better. The animal control came out to ensure it wasn’t stray dogs running around. In a farming community we take stray dogs very seriously. The game wardens will help, IF a miracle happens and they actually show up.
Yep came on my property, just “hello ma’am everything ok over here. We see you running around like a lunatic yelling at the woods.”
Also we’re a tiny community with a tiny law enforcement. A sheriff and 4 deputies. A farming area where everyone knows everyone.

We (*we being not me) run out with guns if the birds are making a ruckus

But depending on the situation, I'd be running out in a sleepshirt and open-toe footwear, no matter the season
(Because I've literally done that.)

Same here! We (not me) also run out with guns. I’ve got cattle farms above me, sheep/chicken farm beside of me..livestock are everywhere here. And those farmers have multiple guns. I however use pitchforks and apparently serving forks. I’ll admit I don’t know exactly what my plan is on how I’d use them

For coyotes I believe you should use TNT.
