I sure wish the "Royal Wedding" would get done with!

I'm soooo sick of hearing about it...who cares???

I got a mix of Brandywine, Beefsteak, and Cherry tomatoes this year. The chooks all loved the cherry maters last year! My cabbage plants are doing well outside, they seem to love all the rain and the cool temps. Growing hot Cayenne peppers this year too, a first for me. Need tips on how to string them to dry. Will add the dried peppers to the chicken feed too.

Sorry to hear of the divorce, Mel. Been there, done that, twice! Don't be sad, enjoy the new freedom it will bring, with better things to come!

Yea, me too. I was invited, but the English crowd is such a "stuffy" bunch...don't you think?
I decided to stay home and watch basketball playoffs instead. Go Portland Trailblazers!

Debbi - I'm with you on the royal wedding - who give a fat rat's a....??? NOT ME!!!

Mel - sorry about your divorce; I hope you are able to find peace & move on. Life's too short to be sad!

Oh, and by the way, I can send you SEVERAL COCKEREL TRIOS if at all interested! Tell you what - I'll even split the shipping w/you!

was really hoping this would be a pullet but...
my husband adores this one - has a nice calm personality and seems really gentle with the week old ameraucanas in the brooder.

trying to do this with my 2 year old on my lap is no easy task

Too bad I didn't think of this sooner. I could've plucked hackle feathers for all those stupid "Fascinator" hats, and made a freakin' fortune!

O.K. Here's what we can do... you can send me the Blue Jersey Giant Roo that is pictured on your website....and we will split the cost of shipping. There...I'm "meeting you halfway" on your offer!

Jethro....that was his name! You send me Jethro and I'll even pay for 1/2 of the shipping!

See, you don't appreciate my sense of humor either!

I've only been here 2 hours and I've run everyone off!

I guess I'll go feed my "critters"...
