Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Went to town today to get some 1x2 strapping to secure my chicken wire for the run. I about had a fit, $2.78 per board. I got 45 of them and with taxes cost me a whopping $140 odd bucks .

They come in bundles of 15, so that got 3 bundles.

And I am so annoyed with the young men these days - lazy so and so's. Two young 30-ish guys sat there and watched me struggle to load them into my truck and didn't even offer to help, yes they were home Depot employees.

I felt like waving and yelling 'thanks guys' when I finished.... But I couldn't get enough energy to bother.

Now my back is killing me, and I have a migraine from the wind, AND...

I am back in the phone on hold, trying to change one of the crews flight (long story some of you know) from Mon to Tue... And now my sacrum and hips are screaming agony because silly me sat in the wrong chair duh!!!

Oh Whining tax:

@Kris5902

Here are your hissing cobra chickens and their youngsters, they were in the road near my place when I was coming back from town. This is only a few of the three dozen I counted!

Don't knock something you haven't tried

You are also a brilliant chicken mum. Don't forget it yourself.

Thanks Bob

I told my mum not to go out in the paddocks - the grass is over 5' tall and she is only 4'8"

Bad enough I had to find Buttercup the other day!!!

My friend and our two dogs got lost in the grass yesterday
It was like being in a jungle

Because most of the good movies are from a time when real men had manners. I still open the door for others, greet everyone at work with the same enthusiasm and say please and thank you and taught my daughters to do the same. Morals, manners and courtesies are in short supply nowadays unfortunately and my personal belief is because most sperm donors are just that and didn't believe in sticking around to mentor their kids. Morals rant tax

Rain I can tolerate but wind I absolutely hate, gives me migraines makes me cold drives the horses crazy, and now I have chickies they also hate the wind.

I think animals don't like wind because they can't hear predators and the blowing grass and leaves also hide predators movements.

Also who wants wind blowing up your kilt anyways!!!

Och I din no

Wind is a pain but I was glad for it yesterday while the sun was blazing
