Kuntrygirl, I hope you enjoyed your week of vacation. Glad you did nothing! I've often felt that after traveling for vacation -- I'd needed another vacation to recoop from my vacation.
Sometimes it's nice to have a week to rest and catch up on housecleaning & other projects.
Te Dave, I think the "plucking party" is an awesome idea. Monday & Tuesday doesn't work for me but for some of us that live close together I think that would be great. It reminds me of the stories my dad would tell about the Cajun people taking turns supplying meat for the week. Each week a different family supplied the animals for processing and everyone would join in and help process the meat for a portion of the meat. It would be nice if we could help out each other once in a while. I think we're on the right track with this forum.
I'm sorry to hear that some of my BYC buddies are not feeling well. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
Barred Babies, congrats on the "new you"!
Have fun at the beach. Hope the weather cooperates for you to have a good time.
Also, on the issue with the neighbor, I agree -- I'm too much of a rebel for someone to tell me to get rid of some animals. If so, they'd better be careful. I'm likely to get a backyard full of geese, chickens, rabbits, pheasants, etc. -- Oh, darn..., I have a backyard full of animals.
