Good day everyone,
Not much excitement around here, just alternating between shivering and sweating - every day. 40s at night and 70s during the day, makes dressing every morning a challenge! We had a fire one night, not exactly winter yet.
Highlander, too bad about the shopping trip, I know you enjoy it. I'd MUCH rather shop for others, unless I'm in a hardware store, in which case I shop for me!
I'm sure you'll be lovely, dance up a storm and feast like there's no tomorrow! If you see any lobsters, smuggle them out for me. I was going to suggest putting them in your DHs kilt but decided that wasn't a very good idea. How are the messy ducks doing?
Gallinamama, we had a bumper crop of acorns last year and the deer were darn near storming the front porch for them. This year? Not many acorns and no deer around. I think there are some in the woods behind us, but I don't hunt and neither does my DH. Our property is a wildlife habitat, so they come here to hide!
Opa, hope you and David get plenty of deer this year, I felt for him when he didn't get any last year. Did you put up the Christmas lights? Last time we talked I wasn't very excited about it because times are so tough right now. Then it hit me yesterday - times are tough? DEFINITELY time for some lights to make the gloom back away!
The chicks from shelleyb1969's eggs are just over a week old now, so yesterday I figured it was time to introduce JarJar (JJ) to them. Went into the brooder room, ready to do it - I needn't have bothered, the little buzzard "flew the coop" and had gone OVER the divider and was happily ruling the flock on his own. He is 3 weeks old and I can already see he is going to be a real handful as a rooster. It's pretty funny to see him "mothering" the 8 little ones.
They hide under his fluffy britches.
The latest pic:
JJ is a columbian pattern, his black hackle feathers are just staring to come in. The newer chicks are black or blue mottles, I am really looking forward to see them feathered out! The monkey may not survive the brooding, he's getting really poopy.
