Well, I am disappointed to say that I was not able to wear my new shoes to work today, still dealing with some bruising and swelling from my fall on Monday. Now I will have to wait until NEXT Friday. Oh wait, Monday I am chaperoning a school field trip for my daughter, maybe I can wear them by then???

If I had worn them, they look like this...



But my foot looks like this....



So no new shoes today.

Cute shoes, but OW!!!! Here are some healing vibes:

And on this wonderful day

A BIG Thank You!!!!! to all of our veterans out there

past, present and future

Hi everyone!

Hey! One of my flocks has dry pox - I've been reading your thread on wet and dry pox. Which is totally terrifying....

So when I got home I checked on them again. Most are getting over it, but one has been more affected (more lesions all along, a few fresher lesions), and has two lesions on the right eyelid - her eye has been swollen and sealed shut for a day and a half. After reading most of your thread, I went and caught her (quick little bugger!) and used some contact lens saline (all I had on had) and a q-tip to get the eyelid open. Was relieved to finally confirm that her eye is fine so far, so I flushed with some more saline. Ordered some medicated ophthalmic ointment, just in case - I figure I should have it on hand anyway. No lesions in her mouth, and she's running around and eating just fine. Here's hoping she continues to heal.

Meanwhile, thanks for sharing all of those photos and that info (though the photos were pretty grody). @casportpony

Just set 3 doz eggs from my friend this week. She said that fertility is pretty crummy just now but worth a shot.
There were between 2 and 7 eggs of each breed. Just what was laying really

They are:
Lavender ameraucanas
Svart honas

Barbizieux
Silkies
Buff orpingtons
cream legbars
lyonaise (I think)

And I think one or 2 other breeds.

Also the TJ eggs are due to hatch soon.

Woohoo!!!!! What a lovely assortment...

I am soooooooo glad it's Friday......

Me, too...

At our last camp we had a sound system that had something wrong somewhere. One of the mics was hit and would shock the singers. We also had those old timey metal water fountains that were hot and would shock you. Fun times for kids.

Yeah, like Larry The Cucumber from VeggieTales.

LOL! I have waltzed through the produce isle with a bag of potatoes. And I was singing at the top of my lungs! I have even done it from a shopping cart!

Okay, hunters! I have a funny little story to tell you!
Duckling has two books with Disney's Thumper. I asked his name, and she kept calling him "Supper!" So I asked what kind of animal he is. "Supper!"
