Good Morning! Its gonna be a great day! Sun is trying to shine. Wind is blowing. Temps are going to 'cool' down. DH is going ice fishing to Aitkin. The weekend is
almost mine. Chicks are doing great. Dogs are feeling chipper. Oh, but there is housework to be done. Oh well, I can do that too!

Does anyone want to 'slap' me yet. This is what my DH puts up with alllll the time. The world is wonderful. Not humankind, but otherwise the world is beautiful.

Have you ever read that "wake up in the morning so that when your feet hit the ground the devil says 'oh - - - - she's awake!" That is my daily morning goal before I get out of bed! Yea!

ya know Ralphie - you and my DH getting together, along with my son, somehow spells T - R - O - U - B - L- E. It might be able to be arrange BUT you need to stop to visit - perferrably during nice weather and sit on the river with us in some evening (and Judy of course - I promise Ralphie, my lips are sealed) and next year discuss the possibilities of 'fishing.' you know. meet and greet before party.
P.S. I have been contemplating the idea of a chickie-get together when it warms up again. BYOB and a snack to pass and talk and play. Just contemplating it yet. On a Friday - Saturday or Sunday evening. What is your feed back my chickie friends?

So exciting! Have a fun time with this. There are a few bumps in the road while building but what the heck - they create the memories.

To see you call them Creamettes warms my heart. Maybe I can win over the real hardcore CLB owners and get them all to call them Creamettes!

It might be time to go to the Creambar threads and make my case for a renaming of them...

If I just wasn't on double secret probation again.

I have weeded my Creamettes down to 7 hens. The others are in the layer coop. They did not meet my rigorous standards to reproduce. I have to say I might have gotten there non-production of eggs wrong. I got 6 eggs for 7 hens! One was off blue, not green but not the bright blue. Is it possible for a bird to lay an egg that is slightly off color and be back to blue the next day? I did go to a Creamette thread and look at pictures of birds. I have to admit with all modesty, my Creamette look like that could hold their own against any I saw. Minus the cushion combs from the cold.
