Minnesota!

[Blooie]

Ah, Ralphie - guess I'm busted. Tee hee. I just wanted to see if things had changed since I lived in Minnesota. I loved the part my extended family lived in but I never did learn how to spell "lutefisk". Hey, I did it! My spell checker dude needs CPR, but I did it! I now leave you to your thread. I do apologize for the disruption and thank you all for your patience.

Sorry, I guess I did do just that didn't I? Bad taste and timing on my part. Just the other day NorthFlChick deleted a comment for posting it in the wrong thread and I'm afraid I teased her a little bit about it. Then I turned around and did the same cotton pickin' thing. Again, my apologies and I'll leave you to your thread. Oh, and if you happen to see her, please don't tell her I did this. <sigh>

Me not tell anything???

Me not tell????

Good luck on that!

huh, somehow I thought aspen were something other than popple, so now I have to go look some stuff up. and balm of gilead...is popple, but a certain kind? back to the books/google for me. I also have to look up a snake I saw, and something else that I forgot already.

ok, I am really disappointed in pic quality here but it was almost dark and those little things move like lightening.
The red is a raspberry to give you an idea of size. these are almost full grown which would be a whopping 6 oz.
A female is in front and a male is center.







and a slightly better pic of the female. Took a while before they dared check out the raspberries.





and here is a pic of a male on the side of the run that isn't covered. the red in this pic is a tomato that they didn't touch today.


today, day 3, they went in the coop on their own. last night only half were in a circle, tails to the middle and heads facing out. I figure they were really nervous the first night as the daisy fan they make is supposed to be a defensive strategy. by day 2 they were feeling safer. The coop is small, made smaller by bales of hay stored in there, and there is only a 2 foot square space for them, which is plenty for sleeping. They are soooo small.

it is so gorgeous out - nice breeze, sweet scent, and best of all I don't have to work tomorrow. well, not at a paying job anyway. have mowing, that wood shed to finish, house to clean, cleaning out a garden plot for the garlic to be planted,....and a flea market and farmers market to go to.

and wood to find to stock the wood shed.


I've only burned oak in the wood stove. It does burn clean, no soot in the stove pipe to clean after 7 winters. so....any opinions on whether it will make that much difference if I burn mixed woods? or popple....
