Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

What a nice blast from the past. I love the sound effects.

Tsuki occasionally would get black with dirt too.

Look at how elegant she is trying to remain despite the embarrassing situation she finds herself in. Not to mention photos of it.

You would think by now, Phyllis, the prima Donna, would have others laying eggs for her!

You would think!

Can I pay a chicken tax later? I want a perfect pic to share with you, my BYC friends

Of course. I'll mark you down for one tax pending.

I am glad you asked about the feather sticking out - I don't know if that hurts. Maggie has one at the moment and I keep wanting to tug at it - but I am sure that would hurt!

I don't reccomend tugging at it. I did that once to Aurora. It was driving me nuts so I assumed it was driving her nuts. It was still attached. just out of place.

So beautiful! Is she still friendly and inquisitive?

Whenever possible block in between the studs around towel bar height. Then when you go to hang your towel bars you’re not limited by finding a stud, or relying on a flimsy or not so flimsy drywall anchor to support the bar.

What an excellent idea. Too bad the dry wall was done by the contractor already. I did hang a towel rack with those stupid dry wall anchors. Hopefully no one pulls on it.

The contractor left with the plumbing done, tub installed, dry wall up, electrical wires run but no switches or lights installed. My daughter and her husband tiled the shower and floor. My job was to install everything else. New door, vanity, sink, shower equipment, medicine cabinet, molding, etc. I'll post pictures later today.

Sure! I’m happy to share. The device is called KardiaMobile and it’s by AliveCor. It runs through an app on your smart phone. They have a one-lead device for $84, but I opted for the 6-lead device. I think it was $149? It has two pads on the front (for fingers) and , for six-lead readings, one for the back (you put it on your knee or ankle). It fits in your pocket or wallet.

My doc put me on Diltiazem. So far, so good. My blood pressure came down after one dose! Time will tell if it helps the tachycardia.

Excellent. This technology is amazing these days.

Vulnerability to heartache rests with the person I think. I'd rather be vulnerable than impervious

What a lovely way to state it. Me too.

That's interesting. Her Secret Garden is on the ground? On a low deck? I haven't zeroed in on where the planter is relative to actual ground. Also, have you put any chopped straw in there yet?

It is on a two step high deck. I did sprinkle a little straw over the nest and provided a small pile of straw in the deck box in case she wants to build a nest. I need to check her nest now that I'm home again.
