Coffee's ready...

Like all good farmers, my wife does the milking...

We've just bought a whole herd of those new "dairy-chickens"
Myers Hatchery developed this year...Maybe you've heard of
them?...Holstein Chickens.

And who can forget the time my wife ran out of cow-food and
decided to feed them some of the hens layer-food. Yep, you
guessed it...couple of hours later, out came the biggest eggs
you ever saw. My poor wife had trouble rolling them things to
the house. I broke into a sweat, thinking I was going to have to
help the poor woman. Good thing my sister in law showed up
when she did. But it wasn't too bad untill one of the cows went all
broody on us. She tore the chicken coop all to pieces gettting
to a nesting box.

Looking back, I probably should have taken the poor cows eggs.
But I let then hatch. Bad mistake.

We've got baby cows roosting in the trees. Breaking a lot of limbs
out of my trees. But that does make it a bit easier on my wife
gathering the firewood.

And you think your neighbors complain about the rooster crowing
in the morning... Have you ever heard a bull crow? Now thats a
noise to wake you right up.

But the coffee...all you gotta do is feed the bull some fresh coffee
beans every day. But the bull, he's only got one spout. I had to buy
another bull, just so my wife could get her decafinated coffee.

News from the OES

Ha ha - you make me laugh!!!!!

Am trying to catch up with everyone and all the posts I missed.
It's been really cold here lately. Not long back from England as had to go see Dad (anniversary of mums death was 26th Feb) Can;t believe a year passed already. Dads taking things quite hard but anniversary's do that don't they.

Rushed off my feet DH at the Hospital again today and also Thursday no rest here!!!!!

Ben is being a bit difficult so I need to phone him later. He is giving the Dr and his care workers a bit of a challenging time right now. Thank God DH and I are not responsible for his care at the moment!!!! Dan is fine doing great and enjoying the rest bite centre we found for him. He is going there about twice a month right now! Great to have the break. We are getting issues with the adult care centre bus at the moment - they have been only provinding it 4 days a week? Which means he misses one day every week now and that is hard to explain to a very mentally handicapped person why they can;t go to their day care?

Anyhow he is happy and that is what counts. The new pup is doing grand but very big already. Gizmo is fed up with baby minding the pup since the pup sucked his ears and all the fur off both sides of his body while I was in England! DD of course didn;t see a thing?
So Gizmo is now bald. I will have to knit him a jumper

Anyhow here is a pic of Dan and Bailey







So anyhow that all for now I am off to find a coffee ( NOT bull flavoured!!!!!! )

Good morning chicken wranglers
Nice to hear from you Oes,The chowken is thing with cattle eggs is hilarious, Spook farmer.My life is not all that exciting as of late.Busy as a beaver and as wet as a goose with all the rain we have had here.I need some dry weather soon with all the new acreage to plant pasture grass on.Alf alfa mixed with clover I think.
What do you think spook? will that keep the chowkens happy?
God bless!
 
Good to hear you all too! Feel like I have not been in the coffee shop for ages! The cattle out back are getting ready to calf - so it is a good time but the back paddock is sooo wet right now.

Sorry to hear your trouble Karl sad when you lose animals.

Was back to the hospital with DH today, he is sooo sore right now. We are having to sell the sports car MG :( as we simply cannot drive it without being totally crippled. It jars the spine something rotten. I am going to cry because the fellow just came to pick it up!!! I have to put it in a box labled past - the same as our lovely Motorbikes we used to have and the boat and of course DHs work as well. I guess all good things come to an end. I really hate the fact that we are not well these days. It is great we have the care package for Dan. We are getting to a stage of not being able for him full time here. Oh well we will never get another MG like that one - she was beautiful.

OES - need a coffee and something strong in it to give me a kick up the butt!
 
Good morning chicken wranglers
Oes dog that is too bad.I had a g.t. when I was in high school.Then I had a midget.Morris Garage with the British Leland .I had to work on them all the time.to keep them in top shape.
They were sporty and fun to drive,Like a go cart on the highway.Gargoyle I have to agree the cows are funny.They will have a big pile of food all to them self,look see another cow eating something run over and start eating out of that pile.Cannot figure it!
A man asked his wife how she could be so beautiful and so dumb at the same time.She explained it like this;God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me,God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you! just food for thought!
God Bless!
 
Oes and all a very happy St. Patrick's day. May all his blessing be upon you and yours today and throughout the year. Now I must go and start the Corned Beef, cabbage, carrots, Potatoes and parsnips. Made home made bread yesterday so will forgo the Irish soda bread. Just finished the soda bread I made for the church dinner.






Good news I sold my coop. Now just for the lot and the house before I can move to KY and build my new and improved coop.

No coffee for the rest of the day only Guinness
