I started the day with the best of intentions. Today I was going to get the coops cleaned, birds moved, others selected for next week's freezer camp and start working on picking up all the branches from pruning the apple trees.

Each time I would think about going outside the wind and the snow was enough to dissuade my intent. This afternoon I did manage to get to the library and the grocey store. That excursion convinced me that it is much to cold and windy to tackle anything other than reading and drinking coffee. While perhaps I should feel guilty about my procrastination I'm certain that it must be okay or the word tomorrow would not exist in our lexicon

Teeville stopped over this afternoon and picked up my roo Neil. Sad to see him go but I'm glad to know he is headed to a good home with girls to love. Thanks Terri. I hope he's as good a boy for you has he has been for me.

What a beautiful roo Neil is! I hope Teeville will post photos for us. I'd love to see him with his girls!

Hard to do SJ. Hugs.

I can not get over those feet! I mean, LOOK AT THOSE FEET! Are you sure you are not willing to share? Lets have joint custody, with me having sole physical custody! It could work...

I don't feel so bad now. I started the same way thinking that I'd get a few things done and come out to help with your limb clean-up. My major accomplishment was a 2 hour nap.

I wish everyone would stop posting this picture! It reminds me of 1974 when I was wearing Big Bell jeans and had an afro as wide as my shoulders. Days better forgotten.

Uh, Nova, we really are coming over, it's just that when I said, "finish eating, change baby's clothes, and head out," I forgot to factor certain things in, like retying my 4 y/o's shoes 50 times before they were right, sudden, pressing need for her to have pigtails, soaking her head and all her clothes when I asked her to wash her hands and face, changing her clothes, too, baby needing to nurse (I think she will be asleep by the time we get there,) and... well, you get the idea.

We're practically out the door now, though! I just need to get these two pallet board out of the back of my mini van.

Maybe while I am doing that I will remember what it was I thought I wanted them for when I picked them up.

They are neither from Theron or mine. I got the eggs off of ebay.

The auction was for:

SERAMA SILKIE D'UCCLE COCHIN FRIZZLE mixes .



Therons should hatch while I am in the hospital. I have half the eggs under broodies, the other half in the incubator. Cant wait to see them too!

Ok. I was wondering if these were from me too. I saw the brown one with feathery legs and that looks like a duccle. Anyway, I can't wait to see the babies you get from my eggs too!!

Happiness is a warm egg, fresh from the chicken's butt. My BO has been laying in a milk crate that I had lying on the coop floor. She and the BLA seem to like the crate better than the nest boxes on the wall.

On a side note, my neighbor saw the Not-So-Uggos and said, "ooh, your tan chicken had babies". I didn't have the heart to tell her that a rooster was needed for that feat. I'll just play along with the immaculate deception but maybe it will be easier to explain the dozen new chicks when they are big enough for outside.

Thanks, Nancy. I hope she does, too.
