There is a cruelty in those words, Rusty.... LOL
OH what a day! Yesterday was spent in semi misery... Gall bladder decided to wake me at 2 am, well into the attack already, so it took much longer for the ACV to work... Finally it went away, was just getting back to sleep and BAM! Started back up again! I had already drank a bucket of ACV, and so didn't want to chug anymore... Instead,... worked up the nerve and puked my guts out on purpose... Finally got back to sleep about 6... spent the rest of the day queezy... I still feel like twinges of the attack are still present... kinda like how you feel after you've walked up a serious flight of stairs as fast as possible till you were winded and you get that ouch in the center of your chest... yeah, that, minus the inability to breathe! So... still chugging the yucky crap, but at least I am able to function.
No coffee for me for several days, and no heavy or yummy foods for a few on top of that... total bummer, but, its that or snip snip lazer.
The snow here was not a nice thing. Started this morn about 9:30... came down heavy enough to have a good 4 inches on the ground by noon, and then! 1 rolls around and it starts raining. Can you say "Thank God I have a snow blower", cuz I can. Had to get the snow off the plastic panels that roof part of the run. There was enough ice on the end to back up the snow up and not let if fall off. I couldn't believe them birds racked up that much heat to create some big icecicles! WOWZA! I know it sure made a nice insulating layer, but with rain in that mix, and there was already a 6 inch layer of snow on it before the snow today... figured best take it off, be on the safe side. The pile I created pulling it down, packed enough that I can stand on it and not sink into it.
Well... there ya have it... That's my day today, and we are expecting another 4-6 inches over night, and my kid is praying it happens. Snow day is in his mind...
Criptoe's pretty sister, Red, has done gone broody. I know for sure, since her belly has been self cleared and feathers are in the nest box like you ain't never seen before! She is sitting on 6 faverolle eggs now. Woot! When I gave her 3 new ones today, I thought at first she wasn't going to take them, but then as soon as I walked away, she tucked them under her. LOL. Silly girl. LOL.
Fuzzy... Thanks for the china offer. I may consider in the future when I don't have rambucious boys... I really hope you are enjoying your day off.
Was even able to get the poop scraped! I bought a bale of hay at the
TSC price... I only wanted the one.. would have cost me more to drive out to get one from Borculo... Anyway, I put half the bale in the runs, and some in the garage and some in the broody enclosure. Boy did they have that spread and turned in no time. Kept them really busy yesterday and today.
The turkeys were in display this morning too. I wish I had a good cameral... They are so lovely all fanned out.
Even henry, much to his humiliation. I shut them out for a minute, only to open the door to see them trying to climb the snowbank by the door to fit their heads into the tiny crack they were spying in............ drat. So i had to scoop the bread pieces out of the snow, and toss it in there with the ninnies. I wish i would have had my camera; whoever said that their feet don't get cold obviously hasn't met mine!!!!
