Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[BullChick]

LOL! Me too! I mean the lazy keeping, The babies are now 8-weeks, and the last few days free range with the adults. The adults wander further, but the babies are milling around near the coop with them,
Now that my BIL is gone, I will have to sell any extra pullets. Okay, I want to. I might not. IDK.

just peeking in... nothing new going on here. lots of eggs... and folks are buying them up... rain, chill... boring, tired because I'm a bum after being off for 3 months. over the last 2 weeks, I let some of the housework build. I banged out a lot yesterday and some today. I'm ready for sleep. it's 6 PM, that's not too early.

The candle holder says "In memory of a life so beautifully lived"
The three kids get chocolate! I considered getting the half dozen, but they have an aunt (maybe two, but I think only the one is that uncouth) that has no problem saying, "It's just one!" thus taking candy from babies. And making someone miss one. These things are about half a pound each (one dozen weighs over six pounds) so while two each would do them, four each leaves room for sharing.

I cannot believe he is gone! And I can't get over the kids having to grow up without him.
I am not saying this to be selfish, but I have been waiting anxiously for him to show up next month, and fix the floor in the nursery. It must be done.

That's rough, MC.

Good choices. That is a beautiful candle holder, and chocolate is always comforting.

Is your internet back on?

 

[BullChick]

Yes, Internet is back. When the guy finally showed up, he was here and gone within eight minutes.
The candle showed up this morning, and the chocolate just got there. My oldest sister FaceTimed me to see the youngest two open the box. The candle also says something about a loving heart, but I can't remember what. There was only one picture of it on the website, and I didn't know it had more writing. I also didn't know what the thing was in the photo, it is a lid. The kids are not crying, and my sister asked me not to while we were face timing. Of course I understand that, but it's so hard to see them! Those poor babies!

 

[Wishing4Wings]

I'm usually pretty good about not crying, but I sympathy cry at the drop of a hat. One chin wobble and I am gone.

Sounds like the world lost a good one. It's sadder than words can say.

 

[BullChick]

I cry when a stranger dies. I can hold it together through so many things, but others hurting... Yeah. Sympathy cryer.
I'll be leaving Thursday night, and returning Saturday probably.

 

[Wishing4Wings]

You better pack a lot of tissues. With my sister, I don't even need to see the chin wobble to start tearing up. Just her tone of voice can do it. It's good you can be there for her. She must feel absolutely lost.

I have real tears just thinking about her.

 

[BullChick]

I already have a full box of puffs, a square box, and an extra large pack of "pocket tissues". The pocket tissues are actually full-sized Kleenex, that have about 100 in the pack. Kind a like the Puffs soft packs

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Puffs are good. They can soak up a lot of tears and snot too.
