Surviving Minnesota!

[Bogtown Chick]

We had dinner at the in-laws tonight. I came home and looked for Kitty on the roost. Not there. She was in the nesting box on the porch. sleeping there. Poor thing. I thought I'd find her dead on the deck or more ill. But actually she didn't look too bad. no maggots can be seen and the chewed on area (which is large) had hardened and darkened like a scab.
Did the Chlorhexadine (hibiclens) More Vetericyn spray. And I did that ear mite medication again that has the spectrum for flies as well. it seems to be soothing I think. She might have a larger abodomen but I'll need to rule out that its not a fluid or inflammation response to the fly strike. I'll keep with her as long as she struggles strongly in my arms during her treatments and as long as the wound continues to dry up and look better all the time. If she weakens then I'll know I'm losing out on her.
After seeing the wound I'm encouraged.
We'll see. We'll see...

So here is the story on the siding . I wanted steel log siding but cost was a issue . over 9 thousand for the siding and trim . $1200. for the siding and trim I used plus $500. for soffit and facia I bought . Not included in the $9000. Both owner installed . Just could not see that much of a premium .

Lucky you..

I just have work planned for today.


I picked a bunch of mushrooms yesterday, trumpets, scaber stalk chanterelles. I left a bunch of others as I can only carry so many.

I found wild grapes I did not know existed, I was happily sucking on a few of the riper ones when I stepped into a hornets nest... running from hornets while stuck in grape vines and underbrush is not fun.

I got nailed 6-10 times (I thought).. but this morning I am finding more welts than that. All I know is it hurt and I felt on fire. Being old and dumb it took me a few stings to realize what I had done..

The worst one was a little Child of unwed parents that got between my shirt and my tummy... he got me several times.

I had a Broody in the shed/coop setting in a half dog kennel 3 ft of the floor. Some predator actual entered the coop/shed and took her.

I hope whatever it is starves to death after it eats my last bird.

Salt in open wounds!

Beestung. And losing chickens to predators. ugh.


I slept until 9:40. Late for work obviously. But zonked out. Sadie started licking my hand to get up.
I've been fighting Bronchitis since last Tuesday or Wednesday. The old immune system doesn't work well with grief and working on funeral projects. Sucks. Boss probably didn't mind I wasn't here yet. Being germie and all.

Kitty chooking around out there! She is something else.

We are going to Lake Vermilion this weekend though for the holiday. Debating what to do with her. As she is high maintenance. Just let it go I think. See what has happened while I was away. It is what it is. Just worry about my chicken sitter is all.... Dont want her upset about anything.
