Official Squatch Watchers

Bunny poo is great for that.

No captive bunnies to me. Just tons of free wild bunnies. I do have chicken poo but that harvesting in it and MUST compost down. This clay is maddening. Everything added seems totally gone within a season.....no matter how much I add. The super dry weather certainly does not help.

Ahhhh, my girls!
At least you know iv'e not been pulling your leg one tiny bit.
Drama everything is drama nothing is ever not a big deal....pardon me a HUGE deal.

The frantic looking for that spot she just KNEW was there was kind of sad and funny at the same time.
They sure are pretty birds and the feathers are super soft.

Good morning! Kids and Bob are fed.

Lol, the determination to get through openings that should be there at least in their heads is comical.
Even my older ones get "trapped" behind open doors because going around does not compute.
They are very soft and pretty though lol!

Well, I have a new challenge. I have a humming bird trapped inside my gazebo. She won't fly down to get out, keeps trying to get out the top and there are no holes up there.

Good luck with that one! There was one that got stuck beak first in the porch screen a few months back.
Got him loose, but man fidgety little sucker.

I had not realized how many cookbooks, woodworking books, gardening books, magazines I had saved.

I have pulled roughly 1/2 the woodwork and garden books and 80% of the cookbooks to sell.
Cannot part with the ones that have stuff I still plan to do/make.
I think that puts about 150 in the sell boxes.

I don't keep random stuff I have to dust so not much for that area.
If I have it it is because I really do love it.

Starting on tools next. Bunch of heavy stuff there.

I really hope the big carp sells fast!

Yard sales are the worst. I hope it's worthwhile for your effort.

Some people (ME for one) should never have the responsibility of having nails. My older sister, younger brother, both nieces have been nail biters since they had teeth. I can't recall if my son does-.

My oldest was a nail biter for a long time, but she finally grew out of it. She had a stressful early childhood.

Have some "private" things I must dispose of before I die. But I have nightmares of them falling from the garbage truck and people realizing they are/were mine.

LOL Wrap it up in newspaper, then stuff it in a plastic grocery bag & tie it shut. Repeat w/ 3 or 4 bags, then put it in the middle of your trash can. Even if the big bag tears open the smaller bags will keep things concealed.

Yep, can't do a thing with her today she is out there lol!
I just put her children in the coop to eat had everybody but Stacey then I see her lagging behind so I wait.
Stacey stops right in front of the door on the step, puffs up, chest high butt low and just laid a little egg....then went to go eat.
So Stacey is a woman and i'm sore from laughing.View attachment 1890626

For how dramatic your birds can be they're also Whatever about some strange stuff.

I watched from the house while a very very confused Dip bounced from the seat of their chair to the back looking wildly for that ledge she just KNOWS is there somewhere. After a solid 20 minutes she settled for the back of the chair.

Putting Dip in the house was.....entertaining.

The dogs headed out to the kennel and I went to the coop. The porch light woke Dip as expected.
The plan....
Grab Dip, carry around to the coop, place on proper roost...goodnight.
The reality....
Enter run, Dip screams and hides under the chair. Three tries to grab the screamer and I decide to open the pop door to shoo her in.
Yeah that didn't go as planned either.
She runs shrieking everywhere BUT through the door.
I managed to grab her.
Carried around to the roost while still protesting loudly.
Dot....sweet little Dot....upset by her sisters freak out had gone OUT the pop door.
Luckily she has one more brick in the wagon than Dip. When I went BACK in the run she went inside.
So much drama.
Door is closed, Dip and Dot are with an also upset Bitty. Stink eye expected for tomorrow.

The big house?
Walk in, turn on light, count birds, lift feeder, get eggs out from under broody butts, say goodnight, light off, done.
No drama, no screaming, no fuss. Sooooo boring.



Edited because autocorrect is a freaking comedian!

Wow that was an adventure! I hope tonight goes smoother.

Do you have a hummingbird feeder. You can set it up and then keep moving it closer to the exit.

This was my thought as well. She'll need food and quickly so maybe putting a feeder out there low enough to get her out my bring her down.

O.k, yard hamsters eat cleomes didn't know that.
Also feel better im not trippin, there are two yard hamsters of varying sizes not just the one.
@apryl29 The derps get me with their dramatic decisions too.
A turtle is heart attack material.
An object falls out the butt at dinner and they shrug it off.
It is engrained too, nothing iv'e done that crap is evolutionary.

I like this idea too. She should be willing to go downward toward food.

I actually despise yard sales. I am hoping to make enough to pay for fencing the East side yard to match the West. We will have to have a really big 12' gate with very sturdy wheel and concrete channel to roll on. Our current double gate is shot from rolling over super lumpy ground.

So far every day is an adventure with the super cute Derps.
