lol. I remember my first solo ride... It involved a gunning, a hardware store, a porch post, a flipped suzuki, and a lot of bruising. Oh yeah...

Well, I only had one escapee today. I put chicken wire all around the top of the fence, kinda floppy like, so it would deter them from going over. Also built a tunnel coming out of their coop to the outside of the winter run. No climbing/flying over that way. Well, Morey did manage to get out, but he did not leave his girls. Well he didn't go far. He kinda just hung out with the chickens.

I did have another scare though. I could not find my little Leila. I had opened the garage enough so the chickens inside could get out, but the big roosters could not get in. (Monday is to far away) Well, she came out and guess she couldn't make it back to the garage so she was hiding under my broke-mobile. I was gettting a bit upset because I was worried that a hawk or something may have gotten her. BUT the wind is so bad, I didn't think they'd be flying to much. I was calling her, and she wasn't coming. She always comes to her name. Good little puff ball. Well, anyway, she finally came out from under the car. She was just so far under that I didn't see her when I initially looked. Whew!

SO far the plastic has held up to todays yucky winds.

I can't wait to see pics of the baby chic when it finally makes it out!

I got my ex hubby with that. He came to drop off a gift basket from him and his new wife, we are still very good friends, well anyway, I offered him some of my green and pink eggs. I said, "bet you have never had green eggs before," he says, "what, are they green inside too?" So, I couldn't help it... I said, "where do you think they got the green eggs and ham story?" LOL. I couldn't help it. It was too dang easy!

Where did this wind come from? I tried to ask that girl from Kansa but she and her little dog were busy.


Anywho, it was a day of escapes. Wind blew the gate off its latch and the girl dogs got out. Fortunately they only went over to the nieghbor's house and came home when I called them. Next, the wind blew over my windmill and it took part of the chicken fence down, so the hens got out to free-range...and get up close and personal with the dogs.

As long as the chickens don't run or flap about, the dogs only show mild interest. But I still put the hounds in the house and decided to let the hens roam around.

The hens also got some bonus treats from the wood I was splitting. One piece had an ant colony with some nice juicy larave. Yummy!

My daughter, Kaylie, and I are also huge Dr. Who fans. A TARDIS cake, what a great idea! Kaylie's birthday is tomorrow and I was just going to buy a cake but now I'm thinking... Her brother got her a sonic screwdriver for Christmas and I got her DVDs of ALL the new Dr. Who seasons, since the reboot. I found a great deal on Ebay!

What a great mom for decorating that cake for her. It's even more special as an amateur because it is soooo much harder for those of us without all the skills. I hope your daughter has a great birthday!

Here's a picture of Kaylie. Her caption to this picture is, "I feel like I'm forgetting something."

I know all of you who are not Whovians will have no idea what all this means. Sorry, just skip on by this post.

Good job on the Ebay deal. My daughter loves David Tennant so those are her favorite. I actually made her speechless when she opened her sonic screwdriver and she has since gone all over the house sonicing things.

She even played a trick on her brother by pointing it at the lights and getting them to go off (her little sister flipped the switch in the other room). She loves her cake. It's not to scale or standing and I made some mistakes, but to her it's awesome.

Should she ever pose with her screwdriver, I'll get a pic of Doctor Sami

What a drop in temps from the past couple of days. I loved the 50 degree temps early this morning and now

it's cold. I did get 9 eggs today...woot...woot....the girls must be happy & content. I'm gonna have to start stock piling the eggs for new years eve morning. We're having a family brunch at my mother's since it so hard to get everyone together before Christmas. Big family when we're all together, lots of grandchildren & great grandchildren. The main menu will consist of praline french toast & omelette's of your choice plus all kinds of other goodies.

Angela....like your rag rug. I use to have a few, they were my DH's grandmothers and sadly to say that over time I had to depart with them. They sure did last forever (almost)! I've seen chair cushions made like this.

when I was a kid I used to watch Dr. Who with my dad. He was a real who freak. His favorite was the fuzzy headed blonde dude with the striped scarf. Lol. It was great. He starter watching the new guy, who kinda looks like one of the fienne brothers, before he passed away. He really liked to look at the blonde girl... I think her name is rose? Well anyway...

I wish my dogs were more like yers RaZ. Mine would not be nice. Well ruby is fine. It is Argus who is naughty.

Help. Advice needed. My eggs are due to hatch tomorrow. I had one hatch this morning and now it is quiet in my incubator except the one new chick. I hear no peeping , no picking , no nothing. Are my eggs dead?
