Minnesota!

Morning, all!

Klop klop, thank you for the kitten pics. So sweet. hope they grow up to great varmit controllers!

Scandia, I can't believe how gorgeous your rooster is. I noticed he doesn't have any frostbite - makes me second guess my thought that the frostbite on my roo isn't from too much moisture, just from a really big comb.

Today is the day the new hens have to learn how to come out from the coop for food and water through the dreaded chicken door - since I won't be home mon or tues. Its too much to ask that they find their way back in that way, but we will see. I hate when to come home from work in the dark and have to go searching in the run via headlamp for the places the hens are miserably hiding because they couldn't find their way back in.
 
I grabbed a glass of water in the middle of the night and my mouth was filled with horribleness, asian lady beetle was IN MY MOUTH. They taste like they smell and it was awful. I ate cookie butter from Trader Joe's to get the taste out but just thinking about it makes my mouth taste like bug.

Blech! Nope nope nope

Didn't I tell you all the story of my son getting one in his mouth this fall?  He was walking down the sidewalk in town after school and one got in his mouth, but it bit his lip also, and in 4 places inside his mouth.  He throat started swelling and of course the taste was horrid.  I had to take him to the dr. to get checked right away.  He was fine, but was spitting and trying to rinse the taste out all day.

oh yeah, I remember that story now. That is just so disturbing! They must really attach themselves if it bit him four times before he could spit it out. Yuck

That is really scary. I would get him a hepi pen in case he was way out somewhere and couldn't get too any medical help. It would save his life in that situation.
