Fuzzy's Farm

[BobBry]

Oh hey, Do you see what I got ?

 

[Gigiintheforest]

Did I do a bad thing ? I was trying to compliment, not irritate . I really think you gals are great. Really.

What bad thing? I think it's a great discussion!!! We're just having fun - maybe at you guys expense - LOL

! I do love my DH so much - we just both know that I'm the fixer and he's the brains - lol!

 

[NovaAman]

Not at all BobBry, its nice to know you appreciate how we are.

Fuzzy, they are both girls. No boys I told them. Lol. And I also informed them that both SLWs died of repro problems...

 

[NovaAman]

Well, one of the ambers died. I have no idea how it did it, but I got through the chicken wire then couldn't get back in... I didn't find injuries, I think it just got to cold. I covered the chicken wire with an old feed bag so the other amber can't get through either. Totally bummed. Sheesh. Never had that happen before. Curious little thing. Makes me tear up. Aiden said he heard them chirping but I never would have thought it could go thru the chicken wire. Learned a new lesson. They can, and I guess some will..

No Bobbry. Please don't take that comment wrong. It was about farming and not anything else. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was irritated because I wasn't. I was just saying DH would love to do it full time, but he can't.

Bobbry-
I did not see what you got. Please share. And thanks for the compliment- I think people are drawn by similar interests and life lessons, and thats how we all managed to be a group. Kind of felt like 'home' so we stuck around.

I myself learned really young that if I wanted something, I was going to have to learn how to get it myself or do without. It was just me and my mom and my dad was gone when I was four- and became a seldom seen person who threatened to kidnap me if he ever got me for visitation. I didnt realize then what my mom must have went through but I sure learned it in my first marriage.

And during that horrible first marriage I learned that I would make it- and I would never let someone tell me I couldnt DO something, I couldnt BE something ever ever ever again. It was a long rough road up from the depths of abuse/insecurity/depression. But I did it. Alot of pain and alot of necessity will teach you real fast how to do something and get the job done.

As it is now, quickest way to get me to do something is to tell me I cant. Ask my hubby, lol. Very rarely he needs to be reminded that he is my partner not my parent- and doesnt have the right to tell me I CANT have/cant do/ cant go...lol. He learned fast.

~~~~~~~~
Bunch of crap going on at work right now. Bunch of stupid political crap. Gotta watch my p's & q's and play by the rules there for awhile. We will get through, but its gonna take work. Being supervisor is not always fun, for sure.

~~~
Quail are growing. Love them little nuggets. Got a pip in an egg in the incubator. Mind you- when I set up the quail eggs and put the chicken eggs in there to hatch a week after the quail, it seemed like a good idea. Um, no. Next time I come up with some idea that after a week, baby chicks will be able to live with quail remind me that there is NO way. The quail are just too little. AND I put these eggs in BEFORE the city came along and crushed my soul. So, the chicks will go to my brother in law who needs to replenish his flock.

Its a sad thing next door. I think I have to hold off here for awhile. My new neighbors seem to have the cops over there almost every night. Been there, done that. First marriage I knew the cops by name. However, it doesnt do well for someone trying to hide chickens when the cops are all over the yard- AND its winter. Can only imagine come days that are long and warm and windows open. I just need to be patient and wait it out.

I have to leave for work in half an hour- but you all have a great day. I havent even gotten dressed yet. Time for me to fly.

Golden feather?

I was thinking that of this thread, all of us girls are kinda tough birds! We cook, clean, do awsome art stuff, AND build stuff and do car stuff! lol. Why can't any of you live closer??? lol.
x 2! It isn't appreciated, and it does cause conflict and arguing sometimes. I get mad more i think because i know what needs done, and so i can see it when it isn't. I have often wondered if ignorance is bliss, but then those are the girls that are trapped when their car dies on the side of the road......

I see you have a book about a fuzzy hen? Good to see a writer!

wanna earn some extra $$$ ??? LOL

LOL I believe I have enough to do, thank you. Hahaha

I think it would be a great luxury and a great gift to be a farmer. It's a hard hard job but working with the land and animals is so rewarding and calming. It would be very stressful financially but so are other jobs. Just hard to compete with the Monsantos of the world.

It is a very hard job but like you say, it is rewarding. Oh the many hours of sleep you miss and all the dirty jobs you get into is well worth the end results. I find that when I get really stressed out I go out and sit with the sheep for awhile and it all comes to light. It is well worth the many sacrifices a person makes. This is my last lambing season and when the lambs are sold I will sell my ewes. I will miss them but it is time. Ram is already sold to someone else.

You did NOT Bob. Thank you for the compliments you give. It is nice to find a man that can recognize what a woman can do. I know that if there is never a man in my life I will survive and that is priceless. Congrats on the Golden Feather.

 

[Rusty Byrd]

Well then I will just have to meet him in Alma in May at the Fowl Fest. Won't that be a shame hahahaha.

Rusty - Road trip LOL

Morning Robin ! Another one ! Sure I'm game. But I can see you are going to be a enabler!

That's the way I feel when I sit in the goat pen. The chickens are just across from them and so I can watch them both. All the petty stuff that goes on at work just melts away as I laugh at the babies' antics.

Why are you getting rid of your sheep, Robin?

That's sad Mom2. Yeah, holding off for awhile might be the best answer.
