Our Mixed Flock Journey!

I'm afraid quite a few things over the next few months are going to interfere with my BYC time! Starting with a trip to Oklahoma...

Don't forget to take laptop along. FREE WIFI @ McDONALDS
It works just fine in parking lot inside your auto.

Who is going to chicken-sit for you, your son that gets attacked by Rooster??

I can't wait to see what you do!
I'll share for sure. We did our powder room several years ago & the laundry last year. After the kitchen we will be doing our master bath & we might make some changes in our bedroom. Then we will do the kids bath. Hopefully that will be the end of it.
I'm sharing a picture of our laundry...we put in new tile(it matches the powder room) my husband & I built the cabinets & painted them. The only cabinets he didn't build for our house are the ones in our kitchen...we were pretty wiped out from building the house...so we decided to have them built. I really didn't want to paint & stain the kitchen cabinets, but it would cost us over $5k to have it done...so here we go again!

This is our paint room...we set it up in our garage!

I'm wearing a grocery sack to keep paint out of my hair...I gave hubs a real hair protector!

It's very pretty. You two are quite handy.

I stand in awe of both of you. All I am doing is very slowly extending the electric fence around the Chicken Palace!

That is pretty cool too.

I went out to take care of the Chicks & Bunnies this morning & all of the chickens except for my Marans Roosters were inside the enclosed pen! The Marans were just outside of it. As I came closer the hawk flew out of trees. I'm so relieved that the flock has become so vigilant. He landed in another tree in my yard...I couldn't get a good shot...so I tried to zoom in instead. He's a good sized bird! Not the best picture!

Man they are persistent. Smart of the chickens. I'm glad they were watchful today.

Thanks for the WIFI tip!

Yes...the one and only rooster bait... Hopefully he won't have to go into the pen to often and they go into the coop pretty early so he can do what needs to be done while they aren't around!

Thank you Bob! Sometimes I wish I had never let him know how good I am with tools...it would have saved me a lot of extra work...

This is the second time I've found them hiding in the pen when the hawk is around...it's their best defense!

We had a nice visit with our son and his family! DIL is doing well and will actually be back to work next Tuesday! Baby is growing so fast, grandpa and I held him as much as we could. We will be heading to Oklahoma with our son on January 7th and come back the 13th or 14th. DIL and GS will be flying, I will be making the 4 hour round trip to pick her & baby up at the airport, while the guys offload! I'm just hoping that we don't encounter to much inclement weather...there is the potential for a lot of snow on our route.

How nice you got to have some grand baby time! The OK move is coming right up, keep an eye on the weather and roads when you're ready to go.

It was a nice visit Debby and I soaked up as much as I could!
I've been looking at travel apps, they have a couple that show the weather as you're traveling along a route...I might just download a couple and see which one I like best!
