I have a 3 day weekend and it has been non-stop chaos. Started this morning when the elbow surgeon's office called to let me know that the culture taken on Wednesday came back with a staph infection. So I had to run to the pharmacy for the antibiotics that was called in. Combined that with some other tasks that I could do since I was already on the road. Four hours later, I made it home.
Finished setting up the big coop for the chicks to move in to. Then came the chicken rodeo to catch and move them out. There are still 3 running loose in the garage. I'll try again after I finish this beer. AND I still need to get the car ready for the show tomorrow morning.

In summary: I haven't taken any photos.

Hubby and I went to Lansing today. We visited Curious Books and Archive (?) books, both used bookstores. We love to browse used book stores. Long ago, we would make a trip to Ann Arbor about once a year to visit book stores and try different restaurants, and spend a night in a hotel. Fun times.

Lunch was at El Azteca. In keeping with my desire to lower my cholesterol, I didn't have my usual nachos, I had chicken fajitas. Skip the tortillas, as they're flour, and I'm GF. And skip the sour cream and guacamole and other stuff for an extra $4. They're not-too-hot-for-me salsa was delicious!

I put the plastic chair back in the run yesterday. I took it (and some other stuff) out while I had the dividing fence up; just not enough space to get around.

The littles like getting on my lap. I like the littles getting on my lap.

guacamole

Avocado is a 'good' fat ...best(IMO) with just a bit of onion and tomato.

I finish this beer.

I don't think AB's work well with alcohol.
Staph can be very serious, hope you take Good Care.

X2 on the booze, Raz.
And I'm sure exposure to chicken pen dust puts you at a higher risk of infections. Make sure you cover that arm with something that seals out contaminants

I switched some time ago to a NA beer. There is a trace of alcohol in it, but not much.
The wound is always covered when I'm doing any work. Either at home or at work.

I managed to get all but 3 chicks moved out to the big coop. I gave up chasing the escapees. I caused them all enough stress for one day. It was also enough stress for me too. Used the remaining daylight to wash and vacuum the car for the show. It is supposed to be a nice day.

Forgot to mention it. The bats were out en masse this evening. There seemed to be more tonight that what I've seen in years past. Hard to get a count but I did see 6 at the same time. I find it relaxing to watch them. Especially after a hectic day.

Our bats pretty much died off, probably from White Nose disease. You're so lucky!
Have fun with the car people today.

I'm not seeing bats either, very sad. And few insects because of the dry conditions, until recently. Mosquitoes starting to come back now, so with the rains. Bot very few moths or butterflies, or anything else.

yeah got plenty of bats, though that's probably cause the house is like 80 years old lol. But I always see them in the almost dark leaving the house, still not sure where they get in or out of the house
