Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

There is a load of sad news this end

My dog is much worse. I've called a vet and it's time for him to sleep.
Plus there's news on princess. I'll fill you all in when I can . But dealing with a huge amount of problems right now.

We have heavy rain which is not helping

He's seeing his best friend before he goes even if this storm is still going.

I'm so sorry about your pup. You're making the right decision, though. Quality over quantity

It is a nasty invasive tree called a Bradford Pear. They spring up everywhere unfortunately.
One of my chores is to chop down all the ones in the chicken yard - but I thought I would spare these ones to try and create the gazebo.
I will remove all the others and make sure these don’t ever fruit, but it is a hopeless task to stop them as they seem to appear out of nowhere!

Oh I know about Bradford Pear. Yes nasty. But they do have beautiful flowers in spring.

Tax, Light!

The pavers took me 5 years of leveling & hauling the soil that the lazy contractor just shoved around the yard w/a Bobcat instead of hauling it away.

I was 67 when I started laying backyard pavers in 2011, started frontyard pavers in 2018, took time off to recuperate from covid for 5 months in 2020-21, resumed again till I broke the arm this year. Lord only knows when I'll ever finish. Homes are never done.

Hired a hauler guy to take 4 of these dirt mounds away

2015 before block wall was installed the contract workers pulled up half my pavers to drive a Bobcat onto the yard! But I was lucky this raised garden bed remained ~ it turned out to be the only dirt available for the hens to dustbathe during yard remodel

Doesn’t the paving make it very hot?

My chooks are deathly afraid of pumpkins . Saves me money I guess!

And mine won’t touch broccoli. Go figure!

Pavers are a great way to cover something and look nice too.

Good job it looks great!
