Scandia,, what I do if I am getting company..

If it is the preacher, I hide the beer cases and playboys..

If it is the Jehovah witnesses, I hide behind the couch.

If it is a politician, I grab a gun and tell them I am skunk hunting

If it is a girl scout selling cookies, I get enough money to buy out her supply of thin mints

If it is another redneck friend I, put more beer in the fridge


If it is a non-redneck uppity beer drinking friend I take the corona out of the fridge to warm up and put dark food coloring in it

If it is a salesman I sic the dog on em

If it is a bill collector I either Hide behind the couch, sic the dog on em, call the Jehovah witnesses to come over, grab a gun to go skunk hunting, hide the thin mints, lock the beer in the fridge, offer him a warm beer, after the dog licks the top of the can.

its hot! poor hens all had their wings held out, and the one ee that really stresses in the heat was having trouble breathing. I think she has something else going on, poor baby.

had a nice 4 or 5 days without a broody, but tonight, Seaquist was broody again. What is it with this summer?

Also got to see a caterpillar just starting a chrysalis.



Went back to check a few hours later and the chrysalis was all done. I don't understand how that long fat caterpillar could fit into that tiny little green capsule

and yesterday I found a newly hatched monarch drying its wings when I went to pick tomatoes



its been an incredible year for monarchs here - caterpillars, cocoons, and butterflies all over the place.

Also, tons of hawks around - so had to keep the girls in the runs today, except when I picked green beans. They like to jump for the grapes and raspberries. they look so silly!

My chickens love to eat butterflies too..

Todays progress,,doesn't look like allot but pretty proud of myself it is coming along...it is 20 x 18 i think that's plenty of room for 6 girls...

You're sure going to a lot of work for the chickens. Looks nice though, when you get done with yours, you can build a couple here like that too.

I know people have been trying hard to breed them and to grow milkweed all over the place because of the huge reduction of them. Looks like it is working!!

Please. I don't want a **** corona, nor beer color. I will take a Bud, Hamms, Oldstyle almost any IPA, a Saga, Two Hearted, Sweet Child of Vine and just about anything else that took just a little skill to brew. But please. No corona or dark food coloring.

I always have a Hamms ready for those flavor challenged friends of mine. You could at least do that much. ;-)
