Granny's gone and done it again

[campingshaws]

Red, I've really missed you.

Now that I had to go bake and eat. I made Lemon Poppyseed muffins and carrot cake cupcakes.
Minions scarfed down the muffins. Cupcakes are waiting to be iced. Cucpcakes will most likely be the after dinner treat since it is storming outside and chilly

Was cleaning the porch and broke for lunch. Glad I didn't put the littles out like I had planned.

The friendliest of the Mavis babies. He's so so soft!

Finally caught up. Sinus pressure gone. Ear not hurting any more. In other words this antibiotic is working. GS has come back to live with me

I am not a fan of snakes. We have pigs so the snakes steer clear of our place.


What a cutie. I love when they are little. I have 21 in the outside brooder. Hubby built a brooder coop our of used shipping crates. We have 6 Buff Orpington, 6 Cuckoo Marans, 4 Black Sex Lins and 5 California whites in there at present.

He is planning to next week go get at least another 3 loads to make more critter huts and coops for me.

The last one he made was 8 ft by 5 ft. Since we are brooding littles in space is not an issue. Eventually, I will have 5 of these coops for my chickens, 4 for turkeys, 3 for the muscovies and several of these run-in style for the pigs, sheep, and goats.

My DW also love them .....
So the conclusion from this 2 facts is ...........
that I am married to a teenage?!

Haha! Better than married to a teenage vampire!!! (but you'd know the answer to the question of whether vampires are cold!)

Well I didn't make it back in time to catch anyone I don't think. Had to watch some tv with pearl since she hardly ever has time to relax. Lord willing and Noah don't swing by to pick us up in the ark I'll talk to y'all later.

Good choice, Red! You take care of your dear Pearl.

This just about sums up my yesterday. Strangely, I thought it was Wednesday until about 6 pm!?! I accomplished next to nothing.
After visiting my folks, I returned at 10:10 pm to two of these blocking my driveway and a smaller truck across the street (probably a supervisor). Only one car at a time could pass through.

You see the transformer in bottom right of the second picture?
View attachment 810800 It had blown and had to be replaced.
I pulled over to talk to workers."You know you don't have any power, right?"
me:"No, I haven't been home " Duh! So I had to go away for a while. I finally made it inside with power and comfy clothes an hour later.
Fernie's post reminded me that it rained off and on all day yesterday. My dogs think that is their cue to dig holes to China. Rant over.
p.s.
Good Morning Granny's House!

Today has been a better day! 61 degrees and foggy... lovely!!! We had a transformer blow up at the back corner of our little property. We were visiting family in Maui at the time, sis was taking care of the place. She called us because no water... the pump had turned off, which was very odd. Told her we were coming home next day and would deal with it then. Turns out the blown transformer had started a fire in the back yard!!!! Volunteer fire guys used our hose to put it out and ran the water level below the pump which shut it off. We never would have known if a neighbor hadn't told us. You'd think the fire dept would at least leave a note!!!

Red, I've really missed you.

and I've really missed you too camping. I've missed all of byc family here on granns thread and sallys. You feeling any better today?

 

[Wishing4Wings]

I read on FB that somewhere ? England maybe, that if models show their ribs they wont allow it . They are trying to do away with the "perfect body" image. I have been thinking about sending them some pictures, see if I could get a job. Cause everything on FB is true right ?

It's not anything like a perfect body they are trying not to show. It's more like an anorexia body or an Auschwitz body they don't want to glorify. I'm all for it.

And where did the dancing chicken go? Geez no dancing chicken on BYC?

It's a travesty that they chicken smilies are gone along with a few others of my favorites. (like the ANGRY one which I would use now if it was here)

Cleaning out my grandpa's shop after my grandmother died around three years ago I found a small Oak log that he had split and he had drawn a pattern of a spoon on. It was a small project that he had never finished. Well today I finally started working on it and it's looking pretty good. Now as I sit here looking at it I finally realize that he was in bad shape when he drew the pattern. Being in not so much great shape myself I understand why he tried to do these little projects. I was little when I helped him build his shop. And like him when I got older and had my own house I built my own shop. And also like him I finally made it to where I can no longer build something as big as a shop. But today this little Wooden spoon has given me joy and a sense of pride. He fought in World War II and the Korean War and later worked for CSX. My mom told me that when he was put out of work on disability that he would cry and went through major depression. I to can relate to that. But somehow even though small these little projects seem to help a little.

Red, you have the kindest soul of anyone I've met in a long while. I would love to see your grandpa's spoon when you finish it.

You need St. Patrick to come chase off those snakes!

Glad you are finally feeling better, Jane. It's been a long one for you. Is GS coming back to live you a good thing?

They left the one but got rid of all the chicken ones. How are we to express our inner chickens if we don't have the chicken smilies?

I found a dead baby turkey in my pond.
