There you are, Nova..you have been neglectin' this thread..cut your posting down by about 75%..I was missin' you. 

Theron promises me they arent real ostriches....but they are the size of ostriches.

Those four Uggo roosters are out there having a crow-fest. CANNOT have that. Must do something to remedy that. Its pitch black out there and they are crowing their heads off. 

Roger and Mark were horrid with that... No wonder my friend got in trouble with those two.

Quite the wind storm that blew through here last night. I had intended to watch the news to see if it had caused any problems any where but my eyelids prevented me from seeing it.

Coffee is tasting pretty good this morning and maybe by the time I've gone through a second pot I will have the energy to face the major coop cleaning project. The weather forecast for today sounds pretty good so I should be able to get it done. I also want to put another application of oil spray on the trees.

I need to grease the bearings on my boat trailer so time today as well. I'm thinking about going fishing with David tomorrow. It's really hard to decide where to go. They have been taking fish on the Huron River, a 1 1/4 hour drive. Fish have also been taken on the Grand River. Depend on just where we would put in would vary the drive time from 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours. I think we will probably try the Muskegon River below Croton Dam. That's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from here but the concentrations of fish are much higher than in the Grand or the Huron.

On Saturday, my neighbor game over to help my DH with something in the backyard and Big Boy did NOT approve. DH got so tired of him crowing that he stuffed him in the garage for the day.

Fishing... Nope. No boats for me. Get the pukes. Side of the river, NP.

aren't real ostrich eggs up on the expensive side? Can't imagine raising them...

well...

My living room is literally farther away from the roosters than my neighbors bedroom window- and the boys are on MY nerves..I can only imagine her this morning.

I told my husband to take care of it.

Doesnt mean he will , but does mean that I gotta call in the big guns- my nephew. If I called my mother in law she would chastise me. See, dispatchin roosters is womens' work...and last time, she gave me holy hell for it. She said- What are you waiting on the men for? Theres nothin to it...if you plan on cooklng them why would you trust the men to do it right in the first place?

There's nothin like gettin lectured by an old farm wife. LOVE her..I was so INNOCENT>...."Sarah, I CANT kill them"..and she says, "Nonsense- you just grab their neck and give them a swing.."
