Ruled by the stomach I see

Gosh they look really good Marie, you are doing such a good day job with them.

Who wants a fluffy bum?

I just love how the black feathered babies have fluffy white bums. So cute!

Our pond is almost full again! After being over 7 feet low last November this is a miracle View attachment 3501811
Bonus side effect is this cuts down on my weedeating.

It's a win win!

I think you should. It would be a wise idea. Nerf gun quail hunt. You could get @BY Bob to come for it.

I'm pretty good with my nerf gun. I might accidentally hit one.

Just realized I don’t think I ever posted that his surgery went well. But it was a pretty major repair, and he is very uncomfortable. I have a feeling it will be several weeks before he isn’t in almost constant pain, even with medication and icing it.

I'm sorry to hear of both of your pain. I know it is hard with both of you laid up, but do try to be good to your foot/ankle (and yourself!)

I hope that hubby -this time- is better about his exercises (when intense pain is gone) so that he heals better and has a stronger, healthier shoulder post surgery than last time!

A little cheer with two cheeky magpies

And there's more cute birdies

Oh I love magpies we have in Alberta and people out there don’t like them but I think they are wonderful! Cheeky little sh!ya that get into everything! Steal the guys lunches on the pipeline while working.

Chit. Chat tax

Blossoms on the magnolia this year

So nice to see you magnolia with blossoms. I'm glad they survived.

I suspected as much which is why I was puzzled at the suggestion I invite you to a 'bad shot' quail hunt!
Of course you would be very welcome, but I might deploy you to shoo the quail into the brush so they don't get shot.
In the cold light of day I am thinking a bird that requires a license and for me to stipulate that I won't do the very thing I want to do (liberate them) may not be such a good idea.
I will talk to the reintroduction people - but looking at what they post they are looking for people with thousands of acres.
I might still consider the 'ooops' they got away from the guy's neighbor but I will also explore Guineas (it confuses me that I can release a non-native, possibly invasive bird into the wild and not a native nearly extent one - but I am sure there is a reason!).
The best tick-eaters apparently are opossums. I have some of them around but I could encourage more by building them some nest boxes. I know they can kill chickens - but that is mainly chicks and at night when mine are safely locked up - so I think I am OK having more opossums.

Yes he is a cockerel, I named im Mando the partridge silkie.

Great name!

We need more photos of tweens and teenies - how many tweens are there? And I think you said 5 silkies - those tweens of yours must be flying everywhere hahaha - this morning my bad tweens figured out that the stall doors were great places to sit - getting up was easy apparently, but getting down was scared the doors are 4’ tall.

Of course this now means I need to cover my horses water pails in the stalls just in case

Oh yes thanks

Mum is thrilled it survived. I also have my Pear and Plum trees in bloom.

My Peach trees are just starting to leaf out hopefully I get peaches this year.
