Ribh's D'Coopage

His dad Punch is still the better looking of the pair. Poor Mag, who is by far the better rooster in just about every respect, didn't get the looks.
I empathize.

Ahhh that ancient and eternal tale.

It was and he is! We still have a long way to go! We are pulling out the rest of the upper cabinets today so we can prep them for painting. All of the lower cabinets are finished. We are going to visit our son and his family for our grandsons first birthday next week. When we get back we will install the new floor tile, replace the window, paint the upper cabinets & doors & paint the walls. Then we can start reassembling everything and have the new counter installed. After that we will tile the backsplash and then I will have my updated kitchen and can cook like a normal person again! I'm hoping to have it done before we go on our postponed retirement trip at the end of May! It's crazy how much time every step takes!

It's not crazy. That is way more complex than my shed and I am still building that. It's going to take a week until I'm done and I thought I could do it in a day! That 7x longer. I bet your kitchen doesn't run over estimate by 7x.

He does all of those things too...he just didn't want it to be cold when I got up...he thinks of everything!!!

So to translate, that wasn't THE thing, it was one of EVERYTHING. Do I have that right?

Sadly, given a choice, we will spend money on the garden rather than the house.

I have historically ignored the house for the outside. My backyard is everything to me.

Well, that’s typical.

I will not like not laugh at that!

Ribh, I forgot to tell you that the pretty super blue egg did not hatch. No development at all. But I did get these wee ones out of the deal. They are one month old yesterday

The last one looks like she's really been hogging feed! Speaking of big crops again...

My lord that is an extended crop. Someone is a little piggy.

Looks massive, doesn't it? She was a little puffed up because I'd just moved them to their new digs... Hopefully it was just the combination!

Yes, the garden has always been our priority ~ for lots of reasons. It is part of a wild life corridor so we have always been keen to ensure we keep that. Plus we like to have the trees & keep things as cool & natural as possible.
