Soon as our tax refund comes in I'm going to Lowes & pick up all the materials for a greenhouse. Been threatening to buy one for years; never thought much about building one 'til I got that cheap import that I wound up tearing apart before I got it built.

I feel that. Going to buy a really nice one for the next place for my warm-weather plants. Gonna cost an arm and a leg but it'll be worth it!

Baby is in the process of sleep training. He's getting better but it's been a couple days of him fighting it. The birds are beginning to lay again, specifically Rita who has been consistently giving 1-2 eggs a day. We found someone trying to sell Ayam Cemani for 10 euro each which is a steal! I'm skeptical though because anything at that price might be too good to be true. I'd have to see them myself in person before buying them.

@kwhites634 She didn’t like how it tasted with milk, so she threw it out. I don’t appreciate the bad habits (especially food habits!) she gets from the others.

I guess you don't! That sort of behavior never flew here, and I'm sure it doesn't at your place, either. I guess you could toss it to the chickens, though, so at least it's not a total waste.

Looks like I missed Sally..

Notable candle weirdness:
"That's no moon, it's a space station"

Stats-

• 61 eggs set
• 11 just discarded
• 2 were duds
• 4 were labeled ?-able
• 50 left in the oven
• lock down in 5 days
• chicks out the ying-yang in 7 days.

BTW-
This is the first run with the new oven. Made by "Farm Innovators". Great results for a free oven.
Went a couple hours ago to get another one with my rebates, they were sold out. For the best I suppose. 4 ovens running is kind of too much.
Spring chicken sales here are soaring..

Oh Joy! Here we go.
35-40 mph winds hitting sometime around midnight tonight, gusting to around 70 MPH. Heaviest winds will be out of the NW. That 60' Pine tree is NW of the house. She's withstood hurricane force winds before, but she wasn't 44 yrs old then. Should be plenty of fire wood to cut when it calms down; hope we don't have to get up on the roof to cut any of it. Hope the coops & shingles stay put, as well.
