Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

No use having a clean car . Dust is on everything, and I need to seal up the house (close windows, hang sheets over the intake fans, cover anything that I don’t want to have dust on) they shake the trees usually 2 days. And so starts my respiratory problems!!!

Wow. Why is shaking almonds such a dusty process? I can't even imagine how they do it!

Dust settles in the trees all year. Shaking machine drops the almonds, and leaves the dust floating in the air.

I wonder if they need to roast the nut to process it? Need to google this!

Barn Swallows!

They have fledged and I missed their first flight!

There are four - and I wish them safe journeys and hope to see them next spring, soon they will all be gone and it will be very quiet in the barn….

Well quiet except for all 13 chickens squabbling and running about

“Attitude adjustment”? Don’t be silly! Castration is more than an attitude adjustment!

Farmers across the highway, are shaking almonds off the trees (very dusty now) they started early (woke me and Jaffar up)

This weather is terrifying I've read America is suffering dreadfully with the lack of rain.
