HOOSIERS Only - INDIANA - Ru1?

Did you dust just for that picture?
What a clean house you keep!
With my DH, his geriatric and litterboxphobic cat, 100lb long haired dog who loves to wallow in mud and then lie on our floor, I hardly ever get my house that clean. I clean every day about 2 hours, and 3+ hours on the weekends but it's more than I can keep up with since I also like to garden, spend quality time with the chickens, train the dog, take care of my Dad, cook dinner nightly, work full time.
Your home is soo clean!!!! Can I come over?? PS we have the same tiles.

Notice the thick layer of dust on the green antique iron I use as a doorstop - dust is a never ending battle here. I think if you dust well, whatever was dusted should remain dust free for at least a week!!! But two days later - film of dust

...
I have a golden too, so I know about the hair

. When our great dane came along, we both thought "Great! Short hair!! This'll be a breeze." Soooo wrong! At least golden hair is long and gobs up into miniature tumbleweeds. Little short great dane hairs fall where they may, and stick to EVERYTHING

.
I guess one benefit of having a small house is having less to clean. Your house is HUGE (and such a lovely setting) - I'd

trying to stay on top of cleaning there.

Hope everyone's chickens did okay today! It keeps rumbling outside, so I'm

for a good downpour to hopefully cool things off a bit.

No, we went with light tan matching grout, but I used epoxy grout. I will not stain and is easy to clean. Unfortuantely it is very hard to put down so I broke my shoulder and ripped the other doing it. At least it's easy to clean now.
Sorry you're 5 hours away from us. I'd love to have you come for the bonfire-open-house-chicken-people-and-their-Kids-and-pets-and-friends-meet-and-campout-party the weekend of August 20th. If you have plans to come this way anytime, you will be welcomed.- Bring the hounds! They'll be fun!

In my defense: Those picture were taken only just before special occasions occured, during the only 15 minutes that the home is ever totally clean.

OMG it is almost frigid out there today!
Breaking out the winter clothes...

MUCH happier birds today!

Down here, between @ 4PM and 5PM it'd dropped 10 degrees yesterday!! Then the storms finally blew through and made it even nicer

This morning was WONDERFUL!! Such a change from Tuesday morning

Thanks Bluebird, about my girls - they're sweeties (well...everyone except the GLW, who I sometimes call Witchiepoo).

Paradise - Your get-together sounds fun, and I wish we were closer

But if we're ever up that way, I'd love to see your place and your chickies

Great Dane hair ugh....I'm a Collie fancier and have worked with a Sheltie rescue. I like my herding dogs but Dave isn't a fan of long hair because they shed too much. We have a Dane and we won't talk about how much hair of his is in the dryer vent when I was the sheets and things that cover the furniture. I don't think I'll ever be a Dane fan. They are nice dogs but not to my liking much...
And dust?? My dust bunnies growl at me...............

Hello, fellow Hoosiers and neighbors! Just a reminder that Chickenstock is approaching--August 6. Hope to see a lot of you there. If you have items for the raffle, let Phoenix Feather Farm know what you have so that it can be organized.

'Nuther note--a group is starting a monthly poultry/small animal swap at the UPI stockyards in Little York from 7 AM till noon on the fourth Saturday of the month. The address is 10050 East Bush Road, Scottsburg, IN 47170. I went in June and there weren't a lot of vendors there,

but hopefully it will grow as the word gets out. We need something in this part of the state!
