Ugh, no fun.


I love that poem.

Problem solved; new Stihl chainsaw in the house. Dealer had just what I was looking for, at a reasonable price. Wasn't listed on Stihl's web site, unless I missed it. Same length bar, but considerably lighter. We'll see how this one compares to the Husky in a couple years.

Early in the morning, when my world is still, and the only sounds are the rooster greeting the new day, and the water roiling past the house. Enough of the rain, already, Lord. Can't you send it to someone who needs it?

Good morning, Abi,
How you this soggy morning? Snow staying away, for now?

I'm right there with you. Enough of the rain! Everytime things get a chance to finally start to dry out a little bit, it rains again :/ I am thankful it's not snow yet though. I got a new car this summer and I'll have to relearn how to drive in it again. I'm not sure how it will handle compared to my old Subaru lol

I spent my evening last night getting the plastic stapled up around my run for winter and really wanted it done before it rained again. I'm one 4' x 7' piece of plastic short! Figures lol. At least it won't take long to finish when I get more plastic.

I’m cold, wet and disgusted. The dog doesn’t like rain, and pooped in my room while I was dealing with Duckling across the hall who peed the bed, and decided to lay in it a while.

Hey, Jess
What'd you get?
I've never used plastic on the runs. The tarp on top is wide enough to go halfway down both sides, they have a perch that gets them fairly high & out of the rain, plus they can get in the coop if they want. The whole deal sits under a big Maple, so that helps some.
The floor of the run still gets sloppy wet, but it's not that bad.

It’s raining and sleeting alternately.

Hubby found a hidden gem for me. It's a 2008 Lincoln MKX. It's high mileage but someone took really good care of it. No rust anywhere! The transmission is going need replaced before long but we got a warrantee on that so I'm not concerned It still runs and drives great, just 3rd hear is a little shaky.

I plastic the run every year to try to make a little bit of a greenhouse effect. It always works good and helps me hang out with them a little without the wind hitting me. The tarp sounds so much easier lol

Oh, lovely. Great way to start the day. I wonder how the dog would do on the sunporch. Might give it a shot, & hope he doesn't set up a rukus all night.

It's been a while since there were any toddlers around here, but I guess Duckling's still subject to have an accident once in a while, as long as it doesn't get worse. I suppose you have a plastic mattress cover so the mattress isn't stained.

Is your house that hard to heat? Is it that much colder over there than it is here? We're sitting @ 46* right now, with rain, & I'm comfortable in just a light flannel shirt. We ran the stove all night though, maybe that's the difference. You'll warm up soon, I'm sure.
