Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I thought so too! Maybe I will buy the land where she’s living? It’s only 42 miles away from here

She would be safer closer to where you live.

Let me start by saying what we are going through does not compare at all with what those poor people in Louisiana have gone and are going through. But we are drowning here. It is estimated that we are well over 3 inches of rain today on land that was already saturated with water. I am so glad that we are on the top of the hill. Streams are starting to flood and the city is in danger of flooding from the river.

My back yard is a giant pond right now with standing water everywhere. The ladies have found the only dry spot outside of the coop to huddle.

that is our old patio table which I stuck in the side yard to get it off of the deck until it goes to its new home. That just happens to be the high point of the yard. If you look to the right of it you can see how the water has puddles next to the pool cement. It is two inches deep in there.

They are hanging out there because the area under the coop and the run are all flooded.

Under the coop. Closing the door did not help at all.

A clear spot in the grass showing how deep the water in the grass is.

The Big Run. Look at all the water by the chair. It is flooded under the grapevines as well.

The Big Run under the Cluckle Hut.

If they were smart, they would go up in the coop. But they just want to be out.

Oh Bob I didn't know you were going through all this.

I hope this weather changes for the better soon. It's a relief too know you are on a hill

Bless your little ladies still wanting to be outside

They want out no matter what. Unless of course it is snowing, which they hate!

I would want to know! It would drive me crazy!
It’s odd that you never heard it through the grapevine back then.

He was a fair bit older than me and we had grown up in separate states. It’s only because of the internet and social media that I’ve been able to find anything out. Even mobile/cell phones weren’t a thing back then!

 

[LozzyR]

MANY Do , it takes courage to be this transparent!

Yes! Things should be talked about and not ‘taboo’.

 

[ChicoryBlue]

Thanks CB! What do you play, guitar?

Bass! Bass guitar. I also have but am out of shape for a small electric upright.

Lozzy messed me up today, now I can’t get old memories of my past out of my mind! (Guess you peeps found a weakness in Alexander the weak)

Things in the past aren't really in the past. I'm finding the present often brings a new perspective, reckoning and hopefully forgiveness of things past.

Their little feet hate the snow we will have to make them some little slip proof gloves Bob their kind of booties

You are lucky they want to stay dry - before I started digging my drainage ditches mine all rushed to paddle in the muddy water - I had a week of very muddy eggs!
