Another soggy day here at the tip of the thumb. 4/10ths of an inch so far. It's supposed to rain all day and in to tomorrow. I guess that means housework chores. Ugh.

I can't believe how big these chicks are getting. The BO roo is going to be huge. His comb is already well developed. The other roo is only half the size. I can't wait to hear crows again. It's too quiet around here. Ducks seem to double in size every week. They seem to be on the timid side. I think I should make them, a dedicated coop. I have the stuff to make a tractor style coop.

Friday starts drunken bacchanalia known as Cheeseburger. I work the gate at the music venue. They always have really good bands. It's a good time.

Oh, Mary, I am so sorry about your boy!

Was that Cloud?

 

[Folly's place]

Yes, Cloud. Very sad, but it was time. Two or probably three May Chantie cockerels, so hope to pick one for our flock. So far all are behaving well, and one stands out as very nice.

That was quite the storm here. I had over 4 inches of rain before the power went out. Power just came back this morning. Some people in the area still don't have power. I have to give credit to the DTE linemen who braved the rain and high winds to get the power back on. It has been a brutal couple of days. There is still a small craft advisory on the lake and warning not to swim. Of course the kite boarders are having a blast. Saw a video of one of them jumping the break wall. Might have to try that myself. Looks like fun.

Let me know when you are going to try. I'll bring the camera.

 

[Sally PB]

We'll have an ambulance standing by....

Oh ye of little faith.

 

[1muttsfan]

What? I'd like to record for posterity your great triumph

Speaking of camera worthy accidents should have seen me trying to herd our 2 geese around my moms vehicle only to bust the side of my knee on the hitch and almost face plant because I turned around without looking down lol.

Oh, how many times has the trailer hitch bitten me!
