grannys gone and done it

[ChickenLady2014]

I had a cup-o-noodles. LOL No crackers . I broke down and took a benadryl. Hate that mess . I dont know if it will knock me out or not as I slept half the day away already stomach muscles sore from coughing . GS is candling all the eggs , opening a few and tossing them. all dead, 5 internal pips, he is checking them out . good science lesson or biology or whatever. 2 of 30 . what a hatch ! hahaaaaa

Oh, Granny, I was so hoping to pop in and find a better update than that -- so sorry! I am glad that your GS is getting some learning out of it, though, he is such a terrific kid (if he ever goes missing he isn't at my house, lol, seriously, I'd take him in a heartbeat!).

Check out what I got!

NICE - I'm a sucker for any decor with a chicken theme!

I love/hate Walmart. In general I don't mind it, but if we had more money or better options I'd drop it fast.

Yeah, me too - - I only go if there is simply NO other choice for what I need that day and I am witchy the whole time I'm there (I swear, I can feel my blood pressure rising just pulling into the parking lot) -- for groceries I can get 99.9% of what I need for less $$ by shopping wisely at Kroger - but there are a few food items Kroger doesn't have and then the issue of needing any sort of socks/underwear/household stuff that means going to WalMart as they are pretty much the only other store in town (TSC needs to start carrying underwear, lol)

any way this is my boss hen hattie shes not the best looker but she sits on my back if i bend over shes always round my feet this is her feed me and feed me now pose t

What a fabulous girl - and love the name!

Sorry granny. you'll do better next time. Well all figure it out together. Good evening all. I finally got to go look for quartz today with my friend. Been along time. He found some places right beside the road that I didn't have to walk far to. We found some but I'm paying for it big time now. Oh I'm hurting. Granny, you feeling better?

Ah, rock hunting - not everyone appreciates it, but I grew up with rockhound family members so it was a frequent "family fun time" for us. Sorry you are hurting, though.

We're a rock picking family too. Love to head to the beach just to pick rocks

Forgot to say I bought three boxes of strawberry starts at TSC. Don't tell DH; he goes out and calls them dead plants walking. And I picked up a few yards of fabric... clearance stickers for the kids... sandpaper, that weathervane... Fun stuff for the most part.

I'm jealous Camping, I have wanted to get a strawberry patch started for years. Maybe this will be the year

Looks good Benny, I've got 2-1 gallon jars & 1-1/2 gallon jar brewing right now. I have 2 gals aging & 1 gallon that I use daily. I've gotta strike when the fruit flies are dormant, because when warmer weather hits I don't make it because of the fruit flies it draws.

Two are hanging kits. I'm going to start them on my porch then try them at the new coop. I want to put the third set in the window box, but I'm afraid they'll dry out too quickly. They're white strawberries, supposed to taste a little like pineapple.

Morning all

Granny I'm sorry about your hatch But chicken boy seems to have had a good time with the eggs afterwards!!

When are you setting camping?

It's wild here today with the wind I've been dragged, bumped and set off with by the horses :/ Glad they are all in now for the rest of the day. But meant to be as bad in the morning so getting them out will be as mad in the morning. Was calm first thing and it's got worse as the day has gone on, at least I can hear myself think now I'm back in doors.

Hope Monday is finding everyone well and if not

howdy folks!!!!!

Howdy Bert, you had a great hatch, especially with it being your first. Never expected anything but perfection from you though so a great hatch is not surprising

thanks.

I have issued an ultimatum to the remaining three eggs.........pip by tomorrow at 6:00pm, or be thrown to the hog......

we've upped the humidity some, so maybe that will help. temps still steady at 101-102.....

I wish I felt like getting into something. my mind is tired of my body sitting here.  my body dont care what my mind thinks. LOL   I hate the fact of tom getting sick because he is such a PITA . He will have the same thing I have but it must hit him much harder because all of a sudden he is bed bound hollering for someone to bring him a drink or whatever.  Worse thing you can do and I dont let him get by with it.  thats how the (New-moan-ya) sets in.  Ya, I wasnt even going to try. LOL

Aww I'm sorry granny, sure hope he doesn't catch it. You tell him ChickenLady says no NewMoanYa allowed in your household, lol. Tell him I sending prayers & you can give him a from me. Plus give yourself lots of from me.
