pollipazzi's 365 project

[pollipazzi]

that was my first time whipping cream in my new stand mixer. i think i did it a little too long.
still good though!

when i first saw it said foam shrimps, i thought maybe they were little nerf type shrimps that you can throw at people when they're not looking.

I mean there's no reason you couldn't also do that with them...

this is the beginning of the troublesome month. i had to move all my seedlings, heat mats and lights from the shelves and to the island.
they are too big for shelves.
i have a rack on top of the island that i can hang the lights from.
at the end of the month, they will be too big for the island. then the greenhouse.
i don't realize how much i use the island until i can't.

fox again last night.
he's big!
he's not lingering around the chicken area.
i don't know what he wants. i think he passes through from one field to the other.
a few nights ago, he was here, and i sent the husband out to scare him off.
he just ran straight towards the fox.
the fox stood there for a second like "huh?" but the husband kept going at top speed and the fox ran off.
he did the same again last night.
i think if he keeps doing that, the fox is going to bite him.

this morning i asked if he meant it when he said we would build a proper flu fort. otherwise, i am going to put the hwc on the gazebo.
he said he's off next weekend.
he hates my shanty town flu fort.

he comes in through the school (far left corner) over the small wall.
strolls past the flu fort, and is always nearer to the house when we get out there. they used to be able to get under the gate, so maybe that's where he's headed, but i have it blocked off now. last night he jumped over the 6 foot high wall like it was nothing.
it's more like 8 feet on the other side because next door's garden is a lot lower than ours.

The bird flu disappears in spring. You might just as well wait until autumn to build something.

A cheeky fox is another thing. I am more afraid of foxes for my chickens than of them getting bird flu.

me too! but i don't want to wait until autumn. i want to be able to give them more room if they have to be in for awhile. then i can close up the regular run at night. but i can't leave them in the flu fort when i'm not right there. and if i'm right there, i might as well let them out out.
