Here's pics of the other new additions one trio of ccl. One trio of Bielefelders all 3 1/2 months old.




Pictures aren't the best I'll get better ones tomorrow. Now here's the not so fun part of the story. I picked up my new ones in Alabama . On the way home it started raining it quickly came to a wash out, then hail, I couldn't see anything I was trying to find an overpass to get under. I was worried the hail would break the windshield . So I has creeping along every now and then a wind gust would hit me I just wanted to pull over in a safe place. Then the hail stopped and the rain let up to where you could see. Then I felt a gust of wind hit me as I was coming off a bridge I corrected to a count for the wind pushing me. When I did that my whole car started wobbling I tapped the breaks and my car started skidding strait over to the left lane then into the median right before I hit the median I remembered to steer into the skid to come out of one. So took my foot off the break and went into the median steered right to the button continued maybe 10 yards then went up toward the highway it felt like I was close to flipping over but thankfully stopped parallel to the highway. I was stuck. I thought maybe one of my tires blew because of the way the car wobbled the just shot straight over crossing the lane. But no flat. The sheriff ,fireman, ambulance all showed up after I called 911 and said I was fine just needed a wrecked to pull me out. Then they all waited with me for the state police to show up and they couldn't call a wrecker till after he showed up. So the state trooper showed up I told him what happened the he said let's see if we can get you unstuck so you don't have to pay for a wrecker. I forgot my auto has automatic and Manuel shifting . So he said put it in 1st gear turn wheel all the way left I did and it started working. Backed up a little than forward then I was out and felt foolish that I didn't think of it myself. He followed me to the next exit. On the way as I got up to 50ties it kind of felt ruff like the tires were out of balance. He said it was probably all the mud caked up under the car and it might have been knocked out of balance of maybe my front end needed aligned . He asked me if I wanted a report that my insurance would fix anything without it. If he made the report it would go on my car. So I said no thank you. I can't believe this happened no ticket, no police report. Someone was watching over me. The state trooper was so nice and helpful. I think if the sheriff would have done it I would have paid the wrecker and walked away with the report and ticket. After that I drove home 55 . That was the speed that if wouldn't feel rough at. So that's the story of losing one of my nine lives. I was sore today that adrenalin is great at the time but sucks the next day.

I'm so glad you are ok! Even if you are minus one of your nine lives. Whew!

This is the 10 month old free loader! Arrrrggg

Some friends went sea fishing and brought us back an array of live fresh caught fish in a bucket - free fish but we clean it! Deal! lol we made fish tacos with fresh garden veggies, sooooo good!

This happened at work while I was changing light bulbs... Hmmmm do I call a plumber or electricians?

That free loader is beautiful. What breed is she? Are you sure she's not hiding them. Have you checked her vent? If not she may not start till its cooler. some breeds stop or taper off during the hotest part of summer. Pam

I can't remember if I even posted all that I got done with the peaches from our trees. They are all put up now and we are happy with everything. This is the first time we have gotten this many peaches from them.

Peach Pie Filling
Peach Jam
Peach Jelly
Peach & Habanero Pepper Jelly
Habanero Honey Peach BBQ Sauce
Peaches in Light Syrup
Sugar Free Blueberry Jam (for the father in law, blueberries from his bushes)
Deli Dill Pickles
Fermented Deli Dill Pickles set up

I just finished up today with the ones in syrup. And I did some resting and a little bit of fun painting on one of the chairs that I am turning into a swing for the chicken yard. I still need to do some touch ups with white and put the sealing clear coats on. And the bottoms of the legs need to be cut even. Its been a fun little project so far. This is what it looks like now. I took a picture to send to my sister. Wrinkly sheet!!! Hahaha!!

Y'all! I was searching around ravelry for a new crochet project and I was thinking I could make some cute little chickens or something. Then I found THIS when I searched chickens.

I mean, I'm totally laughing right now, but in winter I might end up making some just because I can!
This is what happens when two addictions collide. Crochet and chickens.

They are coming along nicely! They are going to be really pretty hens. Have you checked their pelvic bones to see if they have widened at all? If you check them once a week you will feel when they suddenly widen. Its not long after they widen out that mine start laying. And I have a peak at their vent now and then too

Those are cute! I think they would be great if a hen had a molt at a bad time with cold weather or if a rooster was mating a hen too much and had feathers pulled out of her back. If I need one I might just ask you to make me one, lol. You could sell them!

That came out way to nice for the chicken yard. Great paint job many talents you have. you could sell it for a kids room. Speaking of swings I bought the chicken swing when my pet chicken had a moving sale.I haven't put it up yet. Yours is much nicer you should think about selling them. I'm going to a u-pic blueberry farm so I can can some my bushies don't produce enough for canning maybe next year. Pam
