Good morning! Boy is it windy today!!! I started my new year off with a 'bang'. I decided to make apple chips, using my new mandolin that my son gave me. I should have used the guard earlier.... Ceramic blades are really, really sharp! I put New Skin on it which made it hurt like the blazes and bleed more. I cleaned that off and put 3M skin crack repair on it. It didn't hurt but it did bleed more. It's stopped now I think. Here are the apple chips ready for the oven. They smell good. I think my idea to use a chain saw to cut my ice damaged ligustrums down today probably isn't a good idea.

Oh gosh girl! You did a number on that finger. Those mandolins are seriously dangerous!! A cool tool but dangerous!

As we near the end of the Year of the Snake (and we enter the year 2014), I have been gifted with a lucky little fellow.

This lucky little guy survived three days in an aquarium with two hungry snakes. He's malnourished (having only eaten small seeds from some cockatiel food) but he's unharmed and he's got a whole lot of spunk. I hope he is a good representation of the year 2014.

I wish you all a very happy New Year!

How in the heck did you come across a chick with two snakes?? That's cruel

I've been reading up on sprouting seeds for me and there are a ton of videos on You Tube for sprouting just about every seed there is. I saw a way someone did it for their chickens on a blog and it didn't use dirt. I will find it for you.

Poor little guy.  Glad you were able to rescue him.  He looks so relieved to be safe.  I rescued a kitten over the summer and he had that same look to him when he realized he was safe inside the house. Fell asleep eating just like that.    Hope he does well.

He was actually meant to be A meal for one of my sister's snakes. Unfortunately, they had already eaten so he just hung out in their aquariums. He's kinda amazing because when the snake finally made a move to eat him, he pecked it on the nose and scared the snake, haha!

I'm still trying to convince my sister to feed her snakes chicken eggs instead, but until then, I'll occasionally rescue chicks from her, haha! He has been chirping non-stop, which I consider a good thing. I woke up this morning and he had a full crop and was testing beneath the heat lamp. I hope he lives to be in the flock. He's a cutie. I'm hoping the isolation will make him a little more affectionate, though. I'm just trying to make him comfortable (and fatten him up).

Aww that's such a sweet story! He is a cutie!
