Michigan

[Mom 2em All]

Nova,

Im sure it would have been more than a ONE year anniversary...lol

Congrats Snowflake! 45 years is amazing!

RaZ-

crazy fighting neighbors across the street from me have more cameras set up than Homeland security would ever need. We are all on tape in our front yards- pretty much the entire street...all the way to my front door. Police say front yards are considered public, and legal- so along with audio- its all on tape. I can go out on my front porch and whisper *Donkey Butt* and the neighbors can hear it on their sound system. Drives me crazy, but it REALLY MADE ME CRAZY when I first found out about it.

Backyards- their entire backyard is lit up like a parkinglot, and on camera- and one runs right down the property line. Its legal. Cant cross the property line, but it sure does have the fence. So, if someone walks up to the fence from the neighbors side, its on tape once they get to the fence.
Both of these wackos have the same set ups, trying to outdo each other and catch each other doing something.

The bad thing about this set up is: it amplifies the chicken egg song and any crowing. It makes them sound louder than they really are. And when my dogs bark, it sounds like I am running a kennel.

HEHE! Thanks Mom, didn't even catch that the 8 didn't show up.

I was just relieving stress on the deck, eating strawberry cheese cake and watching the meat birds escape their pen. LOL, that was funny.

After reading the posts about neighbors I'm so glad ours are over 1/2 mile away

No one to poison my plants or catch me on a camera. Or see me chasing my cows with a shovel to get them out of the flower garden!

Thank you all for the well wishes,We have been greatly blessed.......
Raz, don't know how such a nice guy got such screwy neighbors, we are lucky and have 12& acres, this time of yr. can't even see our neighbors. can hear them though, sound travels....mom 2, can you flip them the bird or is that illegal? I would not like some one to be filming my every move, seems that should be an invasion of privacy...

Nova sounds WHAT A DAY,,sorry,,,Hope your sister is better soon, she has certainly been through enough. She must be SO tired of being sick. Prayers continued.

Well, today was much nicer and easier to be out in. All our animals made it through the extreme heat this week so that's good. DH and I drove over by Alma/St. Louis today and were wowed by the sight of dozens of massive wind mills that seemed to stretch out for miles and miles. It's not something you see everyday and we thought it was just so neat to see.

snowflake- congrats on the anniversary
rbahmer- sorry you lost your sussex chick
Nova- honestly, I think I would have thrown a tirade and walked back out. Sorry about your sister's ongoing problems.

Happy Anniversary Snowflake! Next year it will be my grandparents 60th! And this coming August, will be my parent's 29th.

Nova, sorry about your day and your sister.

Congrats anybody on getting new eggs!


I just remember that today, I have been raising chickens for 10 YEARS now! Started when I was 13 with 6 chicks. Hard to believe that I have come to this point.

Someone contacted me about the new Breeder Directory. Here is the link- http://www.thepoultrybreedersdirectory.com/JOIN_HERE.html

My mom just came in the room to tell me that my brother and his wife are planning a funeral for Micah. My mom had an idea to give them a tree to plant in their yard for Micah, like she did with her first miscarriage baby. She asked me what tree to get for Micah. I am thinking of a ornamental type, as they have lots of very nice shade trees in their backyard. But what kind of tree would be best to be Micah's tree.


Here is another picture of Maybelle-

Maybelle and her mother-

Its so dry here, we need rain so bad. No rain for the past two weeks and non is coming for the next couple weeks!

Thank you so much Jen. Let me know when is a good time for you. I am so bummed about that chick. And I agree with you about a dead cat. I just hate cats !! These stupid cats gets wet and dry food everyday plus you know on a farm there is always mice and rats. They need to leave my chicks alone or they won't be around anymore.

So I'm waiting for the replacement batch of silkie eggs from GA to hatch and I was all excited because I saw a bunch pipping...ya...I came in from chores to 1 new silkie and 3 sussex chicks LOL I didn't mark which eggs were mine and which were from GA soo....I definately have some chicks for you! I have some older ones too if you prefer. I've got eggs I'm shipping out tomorrow and Tuesday but can bring the chicks to ER for you any time if it's easier. Just PM me and let me know which day you want them and how many you'd like. (and age you prefer)

Hen crowing... LOL

lol that is awesome!!!

All my rabbits made it through the heat just fine too...even got some cleaning done in the barn tonight since it cooled down so nice out.

I was wondering about that, glad you and the bunnies made it!

My creeper neighbor in the back was peeking over the fence!! The one that my dog hates directly behind us!

That is really strange............i'd be creeped too!


Raz, that's awful. Definitely need to catch him in the act, what if they supposed their tomato plant just died on account of a bug or the heat and ate the tomatoes anyway??? That is really dangerous, and it is polluting the ground too.
