Surviving Minnesota!

Good Morning all.
Ralphie: Bummed that Judy has relapsed. Post when you want or feel like it. Understood that this takes precedent. It's hard when those kiddos play on our heart strings...but you're doing whats best.

Junior is crowing and crowing. I hope the neighbors still like me after this fall. He also is chasing Dixie around quite a bit. As she is still my only egg layer. She is pretty good at Dodge 'ball' ducking and weaving through the woods and brush. Plus the buckeye along with Sylvia...my oldest and high hen are trying to teach him manners. It cracks me up so much. So if I sound repetitive with these stories...sorry.

I really can't imagine a flock without a rooster. Being without one was not as much fun either...I have to say...for me anyways. There's a whole new dimension and story line to it all.

Man in motion.

There is movement in the downstairs bathroom project again. This vanity just got done! Corrugated steel and reclaimed barnwood for my rustic industrial bathroom! I'm thrilled with it.

What is Junior? I thought he was a Welsummer?

@duluthralphie @Minniechickmama I have some sad news. There is no possible way of us being able to make it up Friday. The earliest we could make it is Saturday morning. I just don't know how this year will work. We are for sure doing it next year as long as it's not canceled far AI or something again. We will for sure be there all day Saturday and in the morning Sunday and can help with take down if help is needed.

Can you get your birds to me to take over for you before Friday ?

Movement in a bathroom is normally not something you crow about.

No snow in the Duluth area this morning, but on Da Range I think some places got enough to make the ground white. I am sure no worries regarding such an occurrence in the Minnesota Banana Belt. Right Ralphie?
Couple of cool days in the forecast and then back up to reasonable temps. Lots of projects yet to complete, so I need some nice weather. I think Indian Summer has ended.

Is that politically correct? Or is it Native American bonus summer now? Those of us in the banana belt are starting to worry about global cooling right now...

Ralphie! Meyer Hatchery is selling Frost White Legbars! They are calling the white sorts White Frosts!

And they are selling the pullets for $75.00 a piece!

Oh, Ralphie    Poor Judy, and poor you!  That is alot of work when your loved one is that ill. What hospital are you working with?  I think I'd change it up and try somewhere else, maybe the Mayo or the U or something.  It is C-Diff right?  That stuff is terrible and super contagious   I am glad to hear from you though, Minnie is right, we are all worried here.

I hate to say it but I saw an article from duluth that there will be snow tonight?  what???  Article snow in the northland.

Hey, anyone know what @gofeedthegirls
 is up to?  is he still working the combine?  how long does that go on?

Also, I think we need to hear from @Coffee 1st
  as well! 

Hey all, yes I have been very busy this fall and summer. Combining soybeans and sunflowers lately mixed in with some grain hauling to Fargo. I've been trying to keep up the best I can with everything going on around here, I've been more of a silent follower than an active poster lately lol. Have a good day everyone!
