Southern NY, Dutchess county and below

I didn't get to Brians, but after I drop my son at football, I've GOTTA get there (um, one day of dog food left...

I always manage to wait until the very last minute) I'll price check everything. I can also ask about a group discount, if anyone wants to go in on a large quantity.

Today I have so much to do and no time to do it. In addition, my middle son is kinda achy and a little feverish, so looks like a before the first day of school illness. (of COURSE it is!)

My little guy had a scrimmage last night, and I have to say-7 year olds are funny and quite polite on the football field. My son was on defense, the kid he was blocking was EASILY twice his size. Well, my son was blocking him, which translates to "I'll push, you, you push me, until the play is over" well, the big kid takes one hand, and shoves my son to the floor, (which is what an Offensive lineman is supposed to do somewhat-the Jets could learn something from this kid) Well, he then gives my son a hand standing up, waits until my son has fixed himself into position, then they start pushing each other again.OMG-every parent was hysterical.

I have so much cleaning to do, my house looks like a scene from "hoarders", I can't believe the piles of stuff all over the place. I need to get all the too small clothing out of the attic, and give it away, then I can fit more stuff in storage. Does anyone need boys clothes, size 4,5 or 6? I would rather someone gets some good use out of this stuff-some of it is still rather new!

What are everyone's holiday weekend plans? I am supposed to go to a BBQ tonight, but if my son is sick, guess who's not going anywhere. It's actually ok, since my husband got OT tonight, so I'd be going alone anyway, and it's in Deer park-45 minutes or more from me.

The girls were complaining to me this morning, I was a few minutes late to unlock the henhouse-they want to get up at the crack of dawn. I, on the other hand prefer to wait until I have had a full cup of coffee. I tried explaining-they didn't want to hear it.
 
Good Morning, All!

Heading out to de-poop the coop. (I'm in Dr. Seuss mode.  Yesterday I heard there was a drop in the hop crop.)

I'm going to try Hicksville Agway for feed.  They carry Southern States (Agway brand?).  I'll report back on prices.  Another beautiful day!

:yiipchick

Morning.

Went to the local Agway a couple of days ago and their branded crumbles were $17.29 a bag (50lbs.)They said the pellets were cheaper but I didn't ask the price. Seems to be a good feed. The Purina Plus Omega was getting pricey, and the Agway is much closer.
 
Morning everyone!
Promises to be a beautiful day so enjoyt it.
Here is a little silkie cuteness to get ya started. 3 weeks old yesterday. The one in the back seems especially well put together!LOL

I agree on all counts!!!!

The bright fresh red is just lovely, really, makes it just zing. And think how happy everyone will be in the wintertime too!

Mags your silkies are honkin' adorable. At 6 I am finally, full-up, but you know what my next one will be when there is space, heh, hehe....
