I've been married 27 years. DH does not cook.
Another reason I picked the name STOOPID.

I think we are long lost sisters!

haha...that or else red heads think alike!

my friends all tease me that I'm the youngest old person they know! What can I say...I'm no crap...

Old souls perhaps?? Long line of farmers?? Although mine are so far back, it's a wonder I got that trait, when no one else in my family ever did?

you said precisely what I was thinking!

Yea, well for a guy, renting by the hour saves heapin' piles of money as opposed to making Huge payments for/with the rest of your life!

I do come from families with strong farming histories....Its what I want to do with my life, in a way relevant to today, but while honoring and respecting those that farmed before us all. I've been told I'm an old soul since I was really young. I'm just grateful I see things differently than most my age and am not hung up on crap that don't matter

Hmm, no one ever paid me anything for the rest of my life, or theirs. I just wanted out and done! Marans, marnas, marans...

Haha...or I'll just continue doing stuff for myself and being as self sufficient as possible.

That way I'm not making payments to anything

I'm staring to get those dark eggies again!

Although putting them in the bator one or two a day is gonna bite me in the butt something bad.
Stoopid!

Anna says she's doing fine, just busy with Christmas stuff and doesn't have internet on her phone and her computer's not working right now.

I raise cuckoos and by far they are the largest variety out of all the Marans colors I raise. The boys and girls are consistently beefy. If you have some more pics of the young ones you have I'm sure we'd all love to see them and if you were wanting some feed back on how they are looking side profile and front shots usually help to give a more accurate pic of them.

also...the boy on the left...do you think you can get a close up of his comb? I'm not sure, but its looking like he possibly has a sprig or carnation comb.

Ksane..where did you get your cuckoos? They are nice looking.

Hi Vicki!! I had a crazy week. How you all doing? Are your cuckoos larger than the wheaten marans? My wheaten Marans roos are just huge, one is big as our big black orpington but not as fluffy lol. My golden cuckoo roos are a nice size but not as large as the wheatens.
Btw...I love your goat pic! What kind of goats do you have again? I really want a few milk goats !!

Hmmmmm......I like to cook Turkeys, Hams, Whole Salmon....big meals. I like to make a crock pot full of White Beans & Ham Hocks, or Venison Stew, or Chili.....something that fills the house with the warmth & aroma. I like to "create an atmosphere"...
For snacks I make popcorn, or chocolate-dipped strawberries to be (carefully) eaten on one of the bearskin rugs in front of the fireplace....but then I'm a good-for nothing man, if you listen to the other hens on here.
Oh, and I specialize in omelettes with all the fixin's.
