Chaco deposits “lawn ornaments” just saying.

I meant chip a hoof but but autocorrect keeps changing to 'good'.

Omg what is going on in my barn?! So much drama- I am not getting any work done!

dreaming of spring

​

...lots of winter still to go here

But at the moment not complaining, for the chooks outside (when they so desire) while I work in my barn office.

Got the heater cranked and every so often I let someone in for a visit

It was around this time a few years ago. I'd only just moved in and a lovely young man welcomed me to my home. He said if I needed help too let him know. I had to ask for help painting as I couldn't reach up the walls. So I asked.
He said he would speak to his brother as he was unemployed and wouldn't want too much too do this work. So the following few days I knocked on their door to ask. A very confused brother answered the door and said of course he would help me with in a few days.

So this sweet guy came and painted two rooms and ceilings for me and really enjoyed the cooked food I had made especially for him. He then confused me when he said that he didn't have time to make many cooked dinners as he worked for the council in the wages department and walked there and back every day. It appeared that I has asked the wrong brother.

This lovely person has since moved into a house further up my street, he has been trying for a promotion over the past couple of years and has not been successful but there is a lady now retiring next month so I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed he gets this promotion this timeround, he really deserves this break.

We see each other occasionally and even now he is helping someone out by doggy sitting a dog. So wishing this good samaritan all the luck in the world.

Too funny

You can always give eggs as a gift for job well done!

My heart goes out to you Michelle, I honestly know how you feel.

You're such a caring person, she was so lucky to have you

Thanks, Marie.

Drama here too! Jaffar is Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde this morning. He was fine inside the house, but I just brought him out to the ladies, and WOW instant Rooster mania! I had to give him some feed, before he goes outside, because he shares his food with all the others (leaving nothing for himself).

@micstrachan, how is your son?

Thanks for asking. He’s feeling slightly better, but his tonsils are still huge with white hunk all over them. Strep culture came back negative, which is perplexing.

Every morning, I open the coop. Then the chooks make that mad dash out into the yard. (Instant empty nest syndrome) they don’t even stop to say “Good morning daddy”

Not strep? Very concerning. I’m no doctor. But I do wish him well.
