Well thank you Diva. I barely broke a sweat. Tucker did all the work. That was slowed to 10% speed. That little guy is low to the ground for a reason.

By the way I called his lawyer yesterday and he said we have heard nothing in five weeks. He thinks they understand they can't win and have decided to let it go. I sure hope so. He said they would be hard pressed to convince authorities that they are concerned for Tucker's safety if they have done nothing in all this time.

YAY!!! That's good news!

Can I come here to whine? I am so sick and so sore.
My ribs are worse than my lungs, I think.

I am not good at being sick or disabled. I need to get some things done, and I can't get to them.

I can not be comfortable anywhere. I just discovered that I am more comfortable sitting Indian style in this computer desk chair than I am on my living room furniture! ha I will sit here for a bit....

Love the video Mary! Nice to see Tucker!
Great pictures Deb!

Kathy, sorry you feel so rotten - don't do anything that makes those ribs hurt worse. And

As expected I spent the weekend outside doing chores. Power washed the house, weeded the garden, then got the tractor out and scraped the area where we feed the horses, and put 3 bucket loads of the older manure pile on the garden. Then I planted 2 chickens.



When do you think my egg tree will grow?

IT'S a CINCO de MAYO MIRACLE!!

Remember yesterday we took the remaining cold eggs out from under the broody who had kicked them aside and the eggs were cold? We candled them and put the big green egg and one of the brown eggs into the Brinsea with the other 25 eggs due on the 18th.

Well, the brown egg is ZIPPING!!!

I may yet have a NAKED NECK!

Sticking with today's theme I made up a batch of guacamole. Then ate it all myself.

But it's a good fat, so you're okay.

Okay, I just took all the baby waterfowl for a bath and a graze on the lawn. I need to sort through the 100+ photos I took, but in the meantime, here is some ducky cuteness for you.

One of the call ducks I just hatched out

So stinkin' adorable! Love the geese pictures too!

Glad the quail turned out well. I'm also not a fan of lamb (DH loves it too). I've tried goat and didn't like it either.

Sure, whine away. Sorry you are feeling rotten and can't get stuff done.

And I have another broody. My Briet look-a-like Icelandic hen was on the nest last night.
