hi everyone who's new that I should have quoted so I could be proper and all... lots of posts to catch up on...
SBMom, I would melt in Texas. seriously, once the temp hits 76*, I start getting nervous... once it hits 80* I need my ice vest. I have a really nice one, made for welders... so awesome to wrap up in ice cubes...
LMC, we hope to see hatch pics!! Peach has one more week to sit, she hasn't ejected any of the eggs from the nest... I'm hopeful!
OK, I could so help ya build a crazy bone sculpture/roost/decoration... I hope you do make something from the bones anyway...
W4W, don't forget me... the Barbarian Extroidenaire-ian!
today... phone rang at 6:30 am. the only other carrier in the office I happen to be doing the second route of the day in... called in sick. her route is large. 80 something miles. 400 boxes... can I help? the PM is in tears, I can hear it. I felt so bad, but it's impossible to get all 3 routes done... I told her I'd help. we'll manage...so I did my route, and headed right over... when I got there, the PM had found another carrier willing to come and take the small route, and she had the large route entirely sorted, pulled down for delivery, parcels in order... and loaded in a big cart. and she said "I'm coming with you"! she got a clerk from another office to come run her office, 10 minutes to load and off we went. we made a few mistakes, even had to use my GPS 2ce, but we finished in 4 hours and made the outgoing truck! I wonder what will happen tomorrow...
so, i didn't have time to put the chicks out this morning. it started to snow in the early afternoon and hasn't stopped, but it's pretty warm, just at 32-33... no wind. but it was getting too dark (for me) to move them when I got home. it has to be tomorrow morning. they've got to go back outside. there's no forecast for frigid cold... it's good for them, the run is so much larger and they can all be together...

I am not ready for it....and of all things they are living in my brand spanking new shed. Hubby never got time to finish their build but he gave up his brand new shed with the 6inch concrete floor for the girls. I never imagined we would all be this attached.
