Granny's gone and done it again

[Nomadicus]

Good morning everyone. Replacing a front tire on the John Deere this morning so I can move feed and shaving bales around as well as mow. Way behind on the mowing.

Good morning, Larry. Good to see you out and about! Be careful.

Morning all, Yesterday was a hard day. Tom kept me hopping right up til he went to bed at 7pm. I missed all the naked people shows except for the new one which ended that contest and the winner was not who I wanted or expected it to be.

Sorry about Tom but at least he is not just sleeping all day, right? Are you recording your show?

My PT will be here any minute and I have to leave a little after 1 for a dental appt. ...

Good afternoon, ya'll! I had a busy morning checking on coops for water, helping Pa with his project and cooking lunch for company. Taking a break and psyching myself up to work outside in the heat after 5. Check in later.

She’s half Appaloosa genetically.
Sire is Gypsy Vanner, dam is Appaloosa.

I had a half Appaloosa mare. I think her mom was a Morgan due to her size and shape. Sire was a leopard App. Billie turned out black with white hair peppered over her body. Always wanted to try shaving her down to see if she was hiding her spots but never did. She was a character. Love Appaloosas. Stubborn and smart.

Had PT today. Always loads of fun....not. I'd probably enjoy it if I was into masochism which I ain't. Groceries then home. 14 miles on the interstate. AC in the van needs recharging so it's roll the windows down and drive fast with the radio cranked full blast.

Lost my little bantam hen yesterday that I'd been nursing along for 3 weeks. Strange really. She was doing great. I took out a slice of bread for them like always to get them moving out to the runs. Saved a few little bites for Princess since she and her main man Joker don't go outside. She gobbled down the bread, bouncing around very happy. I went to fill the water jugs from the rain barrel and by the time I got back, poor little Joker was standing over her body just crying his little heart out. He was frantic like he was calling for help. They had been together since last December when he had a pecking injury and then fowl pox.

Never had one die that fast, active one minute and stone dead the next. I waited a few hours for him to settle down and introduced a new lady friend to him. He immediately started to offer her tidbits and danced for her....luckily their grief doesn't seem to last as long as ours does.

That's true, he didn't sleep all day.
My tv don't record.

I did, healthy hen, gave them a pumpkin and she was going for the seeds. I went to turn the water on and just in that short time she died. I thought she may have choked on a seed.
