grannys gone and done it

[ChickenLady2014]

What I wouldn't give for that rain!  I just came in and feel & look like a lobster that's been pulled out of a boiling pot- soaking wet and bright red.  bleh   Both the dogs let me run the hose over them too, so you know it's hot.  Chickens are doing okay.  I have this big old grapefruit tree with branches to the ground, total shade underneath.  I water there and it stays easily 10° cooler.  Hanging out in front of the fan  until I cool off enough to venture back out to rescue the garden.  4 more days of this h£\\acious heat to come. bleh


Hahaa.  That's what I get for being on BYC this morning when it was cool. 

Wish I could send you some Wishing. My garden has really done poorly this summer. So much rain lately that everything is molding & dying.

Yeah, that doesn't sound much better than my dry crunchy garden. Can't skip a day of watering or instant death. Speaking of which, I have to get back out there and then go pick up kids from school. The car has ac!!! Whoohoo!!

Nothing from her. We event went on a hike in the park. So maybe it was actually the cat. Which in that case, there's no telling what he caught and ate.

Good news! Well, maybe not for the cat.

Om Gosh you guys ! what a funny day for me . I have been pictured by the police.

Let me explain .
I went tocvs got the meds and decided to buy lunch. Worst mistake of the day. everyone wants something different. I got subway, took tom to mcdonalds then headed to DQ for robert. waiting in line there is a small patch of grass between DQ and the state police. Sitting in that small patch of grass is a black rooster.

I asked DQ just how fresh their chicken is ? they told me the roo had been there since friday. I asked if they had gave it water ? Nope

So, off to the police i go with tom yelling at me . I went in and explained to them that even though that may be their dinner it was still cruelty to animals and shame on them ! Not all I said of course but they claimed they didnt know it was out there. I offered them my net to use if they wished to stop by and get it. I also suggested they give the poor thing some water. So after feeling better about doing my part I get home and they have already called. they called again 5 min. later and asked that I bring my net and a box and they would catch it. so back to town again. talking about a name and wishing i had video because I know this is gonna be good. Tom and I started with Wilber, po-po and ended up with Sargent Murdock from lethal weapon. (danny glover) FOG, It was everything I expected and more !

2 of them chased that rooster for a good half hr. every where around that cop station and one of them was huffing so hard I thought sure he would pass out. They were afraid of it. hahaaa they finally got it cornered and smacked that net over him and I had to take him out of the net. they now have my picture and the one that caught it and the roosters. ready for this ? I asked the names and they were trooper Black and Sargent Murdock. I about died ! hahaaaa His (the rooster) is now in my care . Last i seen he as still eating. Not sure what he is but looks like the rooster we were talking about eiriler ! white earlob and every thing else is black big arching tail. blue sheen and very young. barely has the start of a spur.

Ah a free chicken. Excellent. Did you isolate it?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

yes, I did. Tom said "what do you need a rooster for, you have too many now"? ya, but not the first one of them was this much fun to get ! hahaaa and I just remembered I didnt eat my lunch ! guess its dinner now. I laughed til my side hurts at them running I dont think they liked it though.

 

[napdognewfie]

You might not have needed another roo but it sounds like it needed you. If it doesn't work out you get dinner. Win win. Lol

 

[Granny Hatchet]

same station few ears ago caught some flak for shooting a buffalo that was roaming their parking lot. they tranked it but it died from the wrong dose . Love country living !
