Granny's gone and done it again

I thought 'possum 'cause they like to eat the back end out of a chicken.

If that agent was supposed to be there @ 10 & he's not there yet, I'd go ahead with whatever I'd normally be doing; let HIM catch up to YOU. Why inconvenience yourself over his lack of respect for your time?

I would BUT Angie is gone. So now I am "stuck here" as I don't like to lock the motel up during business hours.

Watching the live feed on Facebook from NASA. Guess I won't get much done this morning.

good morning all. I was winning the battle with the sucker chair until mid evening.

Talked to Robert and something got into the young birds, got a hamp and 2 of the whites, ate one head partially and the "bottoms" of the other 2.

So sorry for your loss

My camera wouldn't take a pic through the solar glasses. Was gonna show y'all the ring back t not enough light I guess.

Only the polish hens went to roost.

Not a thing.

As Bill Shakespeare said a while back, "Much ado about nothing". We were supposed to be @ 78% totality @ 2:41. Only difference I saw was a bit less intensity of light from the sun. BFD. It did cool off a bit; I'll give it that much. Pretty much like Y2K.....whoopie

 

[NorthTexasWink]

Yup, just cooled off some, light looked like a big cloud bank rolling through, chickens quieted a bit, but did not go to roost. But we only had 75% or so.

So, what gender is this Delaware? Hatched June 27-28.
