yeah....but I hear that the kids who grow up around animals end up being rather well adjusted when it comes to that subject. My son is a little embarrassed by it all, but we just act like it's totally normal behavior. Not a big deal. Good luck!

ohhh I know how you feel!!!! My dogs kept me up half the night because they couldn't sleep and were trying to get comfortable on the floor in their beds.... and such a long day ahead

work till 5... farrier should be meeting me at the house to do my 2 girls. Then back to work in the morning till noon and a softball tournament right after. Going to miss the first game but on the sub list for the rest of the tournament. !! ohh well

thank goodness it's supposed to be nice out at least!!! maybe do a little tubing or canoeing on sunday but we shall see.........

Must of been the night. I couldn't sleep either! I weeded the garden on Monday and my hamstrings have been so tight this week and I can barely walk. I have soooo much to do and not physically able to do it

My oldest 2 are away at camp til Tuesday and I am doing all the animal chores, hobbling around. So I dont' have the extra help

I just went to the chiroprator and she put my tail bone, pubic bone, femur, knees, and shins back in place. Along with the rest of my back/neck out of wack. So I am taking it easy the rest of the day. But I do have to get a load of laundry on the line. Make lunch and dinner too and do animal chores

I am hoping to get a nap for the lost sleep last night...a painfree nap would be best!

OH DO I HEAR YOU!!! I am soooo sore today...but I have those all body aches... I don't know why... but they are terrible.. My husband has been a bit lazy for about over a year... he just doesn't want to do anything...so it is left up to me... I guess it is hard for him too ... he works all day...
But there are some things... that I could use the help with...
We are on 5 acres.. and my house is about 300ft from the back to the extra garage and chicken coop... He will drive his truck back there rather than walk it... now that is lazy!!

Anyone going to the swap in Clare,MI tomorrow? Or has anyone ever gone before? I'm thinking of going (from lansing area) and don't want to make the trip that early in the morning if it's some tiny little show! Just curious what the turnout is usually like.
Thanks!

Yes, I slept in this AM. Went out late to let the chickens out of the run and they weren't in the run, still in the coop. We got home after dark last night and they put themselves in the coop, we peeked in and all seemed well so we shut the door and locked them in for the night. Well when I went out this morning all was quiet....so I cautiously opened the door thinking I was going to find something awful. In one corner the chickens huddled all together and in the other corner a little black kitten huddled.....all of them afraid to move. We got the kitten out (I'm surprised Kingsley (the rooster ) didn't go after it, but as soon as we got the kitten out, he was back to his "cockle doodle do" like normal. This will teach us to be better "parents" and get the chickens to bed on time. LOL

Good Morning everyone!!! At work, passing the time till noon...

this is pretty much what I am doing! But anyways, what do they have at the Wolf swap?? Is it just animals or a little bit of everything?? I have next weekend off and that sounds kind of interesting!!

Good Morning Everyone! I haven't been on for a while. I do have a very good reason though. I had a baby girl on July 6th! I have had some health issues after, but am feeling great now! I am happy to announce too that we HAVE OUR FIRST EGGS. We have 2 eggs in 2 days. I am not sure if they are from the same chicken though. The first one was the size of a normal large egg and it is brown. The 2nd one that we just yesterday was considerably smaller and a tad bit darker. I am going to peek through the windows today to see who is laying. There were no eggs yesterday at about 11 am and my husband checked at about 2 and there was one. I am so excited.

Hope everyone is doing good. I will be doing some reading to catch up with everyone!

We got another egg today!! It was the same size and color as the one we got yesterday! I peeked through the window today and found out that it was one of our ISA browns that we got from OPA!!!

When I looked, she was doing her egg song and got up and went to the run. I ran right in and there was the egg! So cool!!!
