Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

It's all rain and wind here. Poor princess is in the run on her perch . I got her food to her but I dare not keep going outside.

I woke up coughing and my nose was streaming. I felt for my neighbour because he was woken up as we have no sound proofing.

He has changed dramatically lately, he was about to call to check if I was okay as I called him to appoligise.

We had a man threatening our lovely neighbours last night, he's been harassing them for sixteen years.
It's got to the point that they are thinking of selling their loved home to get away from him.

I wish the police would find a way of removing him from our area. We really don't want to lose this lovely couple.

How did you sleep last night?

All is good thanks for asking.

It’s been pelting down rain all day here, but mild for this time of year. I am soon done for the day and will head home, the horses will be soaked and will want in. I will also have to stop in and check my neighbours cat, I am watching him while they are away.

Miserable weather day, but it’s not snow so I will take it!

A Christmas Miracle

Because we are celebrating the holidays with are children I won't be on much. However I just had to share this Christmas miracle with everyone.

While I was prepping the coop for an extended lock up period, I found this!

Spoiler: What was the Miracle?

And they are.....

Glynda started laying during the shortest days of the year and the blue spray paint dispenser is full again!

I had no idea. Why would I be checking for eggs at the winter solstice? What a wonderful surprise. She had a nice break in the fall so no worries despite the fact that it feels soon.

Lovely

And I see HRH made sure she got in there also

Yes. I know dogs are a lot of work. Maybe I will get one when I retire...

Two, you need two so they can play together.

Start with a cat - like a gateway drug - you can have a cat and work - they kinda like it when they have the place to themselves. Mine were initially quite grumpy when I was home all day because of Covid restrictions.
Now they get grumpy if I leave the house.
I adore my cats - but it is not all sweetness - last night I barely got any sleep because of an epic battle between two cats and a flying squirrel that had got into the house.
It started at midnight and at about 6am I finally managed to get the little guy to go outside.
I will need a nap later.

Hahahahaha

The visual was just too funny!

Had that with my 5 (yes 5) cats and a bat once. I saved the bat and set it free. The cats all hated me the rest of the night, they were taking turns jumping on my bed waking me up.

Awll you have such beautiful birds great photos! Lovely when the bloom makes them purpley!

Yea that’s eggsactly what it was!

I find the Netti pots to be very helpful. I used to get sinus infections once or twice a year but many years ago this was suggested to me. For me it completely solved the issue ans I have never gotten one since. I am a fan!

Oh they are having a blast in those leaves aren’t they?! Such happy ladies

My cat knocked a beautiful cup off my windowsill yesterday and I told him to get out. Then princess went into the garden and there he was faithfully looking out for her as usual. I couldn't stay annoyed with him for long

Felicitas and Agathae are happy for you. They said the ink runs out sometimes. Make sure you only use genuine ink cartridges.

Thank you! It's also gonna be 20-30 years before I retire.

Yep I hear you, I am working on “Freedom 95”.

(For those who don’t know the ‘freedom 55’ Ads that used to be around, it was a push for people to save and retire at 55, ya right! More like freedom 95)

I just used it again, I was told that it clears from one nostril to the other and couldn't understand how that worked. But it does and brilliantly so. I think I will sleep tonight
