Tomorrow is my baby's birthday! He'll be 32! Where did the time go???? Can't understand how he caught up to me.

My grandma always "disowned" her kids when they hit 30; told them she couldn't have kids older than her and since she was perpetually 29... LOL!

My chicks were doing a great job of decimating my hostas before I realized they thought it was a salad bar. I fenced the area to keep the chickens out but the damage was done and the hostas struggled all year. I hope the come back this spring. I better get that fencing back up. Today would be a good time.

Well, I have accomplished nothing today other than sweeping the floors. I was planning on cleaning up the two rings of waste hay / manure out of the back paddock, but when I opened the door to let the dogs out the wind bit me even inside the house so decided against it until it warms up a bit more. I'm being a wimp, I guess.

I didn't see that until I went back and found it. I would be very happy to do that for everyone.
I think am suddenly having one of those old rooster attacks. What was it we were talking about?

Am I reading right? You would be very happy to do that for everyone???? Are you kidding Opa?

How much would you charge for one?

So far today I have managed to avoid cleaning the coop. First I said after breakfast, now I am saying after lunch.

I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before I head out again. Dogs want to go for a walk and I need to clean out the coop again.
Krisrose and I went to TSC yesterday and neither one of us bought chicks! Yeah. I said I'll wait till chickenstock.
Tomorrow is my baby's birthday! He'll be 32! Where did the time go???? Can't understand how he caught up to me.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Enjoy the walk, it looks like it is a beautiful day today! I have been to TSC and Family Farm and Home a couple of times and left without buying any chicks. I have enough chickens and if I have any broody hens I would rather let her hatch out the babies and do all the work.

My DH always says he stopped at 30. I told him that he can no longer say that since our oldest is almost 30.

Talking about our own immune systems reminds me of the fly in trips I have made to northern Quebec. We were hunting caribou just south of the arctic circle and the water supply for the camps came directly from the river or lake the camp was situated on. My son and I had absolutely no difficulties from drinking the water while the others either stayed close to camp or carried large amounts of toilet paper with them. The other hunters were all seemly healthy robust individuals and the only difference we could determine was that they were city dwellers drinking municipal water while David & I both have wells. I think the naturally occurring bacteria we possess in our bodies kept us from having problems while chlorine in city water probably kills that bacteria.

Opa, you have had an adventurous life haven't you?

I love hearing [reading] about it.
