Dixie Chicks

[Outpost JWB]

@RavynFallen , Those babies are cuties

. I know notta about coloring though.

@minihorse927 , It has not dried up here a bit. We have been unable to mow our whole lawn all year! We have mowed spots and patches, but it looks bad. Seen my neighbor at the grocery yesterday and he apologized for the way his lawn looks. But they are all that way around here. Dang rain.

I think I left my cell phone at my son's last night when I broke in. I would not make a good criminal. LOL!

I got a lot to get done today. You all have a great day

@Outpost JWB thanks, I just think these chicks are too cute... and baffling on their color, lol...

I think you're getting all our rain... usually we're up to our eyeballs in it and we've been dry for quite a while now... :/

@seminolewind

@outpost jwb leaving incriminating Evidence at the scene of a crime! You'll never make a very good criminal.

Lady Grey update... she said no front view since she's molting, lol... and she's so small her wing tips are longer than her tail!

awwww, look at her! Love her!

Ravyn, Do you never sleep???

Eh... sometimes... too much stress lately...

awwww, look at her! Love her!

She's an adorable jealous duck, lol... guess I should've shown her a mirror before... she attacked herself and my hands in the mirror...

My Mom had Parkinson's (with a good dose of denial) and problems with both motor skills and dementia. Luckily they both got full-blown at about the same time and she was a happy dementia in the end. There's a panoply of things that can be done that seem to help (believe it or not, drinking coffee!), but the most important advice to be given is make sure she stays up on her meds. There'll be good moments and heartbreaking ones.

Things to expect:
bowel problems
loss of ability to read
balance problems
horrible math
deep unwakeable sleeps
face drooping
difficulty swallowing
injuries from falls


Feel free if you need to PM me about stuff as it goes along. Been there. It's not fun or easy.

New duck picture!


Cayuga's are going to be 5-6 months old and the Anconas are ~3 months old. Really hoping the Cayugas will still lay this year.

DH is now planning on keeping the money from egg sales at his work. He figures "egg money goes into buying more poultry and more poultry things, therefore if I keep the moneys you can't buy things"... so I just said "fine, I'll start hiding the eggs so I can incubate more"

Let's just say no one won last night.

But he now also knows, once eggs go into the fridge, I won't incubate them.

Thankyou all you nice people! I appreciate the advice.

Thanks. I'll print this out because my father has no idea how to deal with this. She's had balance problems for years, and several broken bones. The last being a head injury requiring stitches. Maybe Alzheimer's is good for not knowing what's going on. Even tho I feel we need to talk to her in present, not past or future.
