How awful! I am so sorry about your friend.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry I hijacked your thread for a bit.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry I hijacked your thread for a bit.

I'm not bothered. I had something interesting to read this morning.

A lot of it, according to my husband, is merely wanting me out with them. They certainly quieted down as soon as I appeared so that definitely wasn't the worst of it & I've never managed to have the camera when one of the Campines loses the plot & runs shrieking through the coop. Definitely a sight to behold.

I would like to see that!

Thank you it's been very difficult. He was 29 years old, a marine who survive Iraq, he had a 5 year old daughter, and he was intentionally ran over by the lover of his ex.

Bob you may have heard it on the local news, since we are not too far apart. It was terrible for all involved.

That's awful. I can't begin to comprehend how much resentment you must feel. I trust the ex was prosecuted, lost their licence and served a sentence?

Nor can I get my head around the act. Think about how much self-centredness and selfishness and childishness are required to deliberately strike another person with a car.

I mean, I would be beyond mortified if I accidentally struck another person with my car. I'd give up driving because I'd no longer trust myself behind the wheel and I would go through any justice proceedings with attentiveness and respect in order to ensure I repaid my debt and did my share of mending the social fabric. I simply don't have access to the state of mind required to deliberatley run someone down.

When we were putting in our gardens @ the end of summer I indulged myself & planted bulbs even though I know bulbs often don't do well in our climate. Freesias will & we put in about 60 in various beds hoping they'd spread over time. They shot up early but have yet to flower. The hyacinth on the other hand are flowering! I was so thrilled [& a little worried] to see them pop up in the middle of winter. Now to see if the bluebells will actually make it... Not looking so good for them.​

 

[MaryJanet]

I love hyacinths! Look at it go! Good luck with the bluebells

I planted 6 & have 4 so I'm pretty happy.

Well, Vinny is in his new home... I brought him today to the gal that took the little bully chick from me a few months ago.. I saw him today... gorgeous!!
She took Vinny and plopped him in the middle of their ginormous coop.. with hens, roosters, turkeys, ducks, guinea... and the first fight he picks is with a turkey .. it didn’t amount to much thank goodness... anyway, there is no quarantine.. no “see no touch”... just put and let them work it out... and it seems to work.. they have about 6 roosters just walking here, there, and everywhere... and not minding one bit of anyone’s business... she has her very small children walking about and the birds seem to know their place... and no rooster fights
I also got to hold a new born baby goat

 

[MaryJanet]

Baby goat! On a scale of 1-10, how cute was it? 265? 784?

I lied. I have 5 so I daresay the last one may pop up yet.
