Helpful hints for building coops

No, and I was surprised the numbing worked. I feel like I should have some antibiotics now. So I may take some I have on hand. My ear buzzes sometimes and is still tender.

Kinda not a good idea, if you have some 'on hand' you must not have completed a prior course...tsktsktsk.
I can't believe they didn't give you AB's if you had an infection.

that might be true, but as long as it is on hand, use it..
Today I am going along with Annie to PT. that shoots a good part of my day here to get any work done. but I gotta get her well so she can take care of me when I get my hips done. LOL
Dan found the tiny leak in the lawn mower tire. It is almost up into the side wall. It holds enough air to get the lawn mowed as is. I am going to stick some Gorilla glue into the hole temporarily until I can get a plug patch.
I sure would like to get some fish emulsion onto the tomato plants today.

Loving the last day of cool weather by baking bread.

Gotta decide how to deal with this situation:
The Junior Contingent 13wo.
Dinners need to go soon.
Sister's gonna be lonely.
Never had this scenario before, could be bad news.
Last time I had this broody chick ratio, there was a younger group of chicks she hung out with. Could keep one cockerel, but that might not be any better for her.

No, it's a whole prescription my doctor gave me because I get so many ear infections. I was surprised too.

I fixed the lawn mower tire with Gorilla glue.
Nephew Dan got the whole lawn mowed.
No chicken problems here.

It's been raining every day for a week and I'm working 40 hours next week. If I can't mow on Monday I hate to think what the grass is going to be like by the time I can mow again.
