I’m too fat for ponytails. My long hair going down that far makes me a horse’s twin.

So divide it in two & wrap it around your neck...instant scarf that you're not apt to lose.

Hi Benny!!! Good morning everyone!!!

I'm alive and well!! I'm at least 50 miles from all the mudslides going on out here. You get 5 inches of rain in a couple of hours on burned hillsides and it doesn't work out that well. How is everyone handling the deep freezes around the country? Snow in FL?

On the hatching front.....I had JUST gotten rid of all but 1 rooster (who still needs to go), and I had taken a break from hatching. But orrpeople sent me some eggs from the birds I had shipped up to her. I hatched most of them in the incubator, but gave all the chicks to my broody Frilkie. She only successfully hatched 1. The 2 zipping ones she kicked out from under her, I helped hatch. The rest hatched inside. 12 chicks total. I will continue to HATCH inside, but I don't think I will EVER brood inside again. Broody hen brooding is AWESOME!!!

We have been "barley-less" for weeks. We jacked up our egg prices from 2 to 3 because of the feed impact. The phone stopped ringing for eggs.
The Pigs are taking up the slack T.G.
There must be a new player in town.. Bummerton is not a city.. it's a state of mind.
Spelt milk I suppose.

Got a call today! Four 50 gal cans today and tomorrow!
We have too many critters for our conventional grain budget.
Thank God for small miracles!
