Hi,
My son came home from the VAMC hospital late yesterday. So happy to have him home and glad not to have to don those purple gloves and yellow gowns. His ward was still quarantined yesterday as we checked him out. They call the Norovirus the GI Virus. Anyways glad it is over and he is home. I am learning not everyone is happy with one of the hatcheries I had considered. I have talked to Nellie at the Fancy chick. Expensive but I feel better about getting Jubilee Otps from her and I am looking forward in getting in on the waiting list for Silver Lace orps and Gold Lace orps with her. Would rather just be able to order and get but if I must be on a waiting list would prefer hers. She seems nice over emails and everyone says she is the best. Her pictures of her orps are beauties. And if anyone knows of anyother supplier just as highly recommended please let me in on your trade secrets. I also have consided Ewecrazy. No longer considering Jubilees from Greenfire and Need to find a different person or place who breeds Tolbunts. If anyone knows of Tolbunt Polish Please please let me know. Thank you. ReMe

Hey! Is it too late to say good morning? I seen minihorse was running late on good morning....I am VERY late! LOL! Good day to all

.


Some how this morning my lack of sleep and increase of stress caught up to me. I have 2 alarms that go off at 2am. One is an electric clock with battery back up, the other is my cell phone. This morning as usual, the alarms went off at 2am. I woke up to hear the alarm clocks screaming at me and glanced at the time....2:45am

Somehow I slept right through them. That's not all, as I am quickly flying through the house, gathering clothes and making coffee, I flip on the outside light and

SNOW! Lots of snow & lots of ice, and it's still snowing. So, I grab my 2 liter bottles of water, since we still have no running water, head to the bathroom, get ready in 7 minutes, hair washed, teeth brushed, the whole 9 yards. Out the door with dripping wet hair (which froze instantly as I was scraping off the windshield) and on the road by 3am. Put the car in 4 wheel drive after seeing 2 others in the ditch. Made it to work on time

Hubby and I did find leak. Problem is the water is SO bad. It's freezing-literally-out there and so we cannot get under the house to fix until this weekend when temps are going to be in the high 40s. So, no running water until Saturday.

No news on bank job. Tomorrow is the day they are suppose to call by. The job is still posted online. I put in 2 more apps today elsewhere. I'll let you all know whatever happens tomorrow.

GreenFire jubilee also tend to be under size compared to others also. Bryce Everett (ewe crazy) has great stock too. English orps are expensive no matter how you go about it. My chocolate bantams still sell for $30 each @hatch!

I live for grubbing up and being outside, getting covered in mud, getting a sunburn on my shoulders...
Can't hurt to ask if you can just go once a week.
