Visited a new church yesterday (I do this a lot to meet more members of the Body of Christ). Saw this video there and thought is was great. Tried to post it with my phone and it did not work. here it is again.

This was my solution to gardening here in Abilene during this drought. It is made almost completely of repurposed oil field junk.

Jungle - I was just looking at your website and I LOVE the photo of the fish with the sharp teeth! Do you use Pixoto? I have put a couple of photos there a few years ago. They were having a "faces" contest...not sure if fish qualify.

This photo was taken before it was covered. It is covered with a double layer of 6mm GH plastic with an inflation blower, there is a layer of solar screen cloth over that.

What do ya'll think? Can a Wyandotte roo & dotte hens live in harmony with 3 little bantam roo's & their 7 bantam hens? It would be in a large coop & run I don't have enough pens & runs but have 2 Wyandotte roo's in with 8 hens & the 1 roo is getting beat up by the other one all the time. I'd like to split them up & give him a few hens of his own

Never heard of Pixoto before. Might check it out.

We'll have to see what happens. I can't knowingly return her from where she came. She's so cute and Gunther (my domesticated kitten) is finally learning now to clean himself properly. But if she doesn't warm up to us, I'm not sure what I'll do. I don't want to take her to the pound either. But I've seen people with cats that are absolutely horrible. They are domesticated but hate any sort of handling. This kitty shouldn't be fearful of human touch.


After feeding her, she used the litter box, though! I had to place her in it, but she was pleased. Apparently, she really had to go. And after, she made her way back into the basket we set up for her with a heating pad. So glad my sister found her before it started raining again.


I think she'll get used to us, though. She hopped out of the basket and came up to me (I was lying on the floor, playing with Gunther). I think she gets lonely. She even tolerated Gunther climbing on her and licking her face and ears, haha!

 
The feral kitty will be fine.  My dogs found a 4-week old feral kitten that was starving in my yard.  I nursed it back to health.  When I first started dropper feeding it water, I wrapped it in a towel so it couldn't see me.  He turned out to be a really nice cat.

We have several cats at the office (our office is about 10 miles from my house and sits on 40 acres in the country) and they were all born wild.  NOW, they greet me when I arrive at 6am and roll on their backs for me to scratch their bellies!  Now, that MIGHT have something to do with me feeding them every morning!!  

Even my own cat was dumped or abandoned and left to fend for himself for many months before he came to live under our shed.  He had an abscess on his shoulder and I lured him in with roasted turkey.  Once I doctored him my husband said, "Well we have to keep him now!"  Best cat ever!

We had a wild female show up here several years ago & of course she was pregnant She had 5 kittens, they were all extemely wild even after we managed to trap them & have them neutered & spayed + the mother. The mother & 2 of the daughters are now friendly as can be but it took a long time

I don't like getting hit in the face either but have been by horses heads more times then I can count concussions, busted lips, black eyes, you name it
galanie a bar fight

LMAO yes! Some chick hopped up on something just walked up and knocked the hell out of me for no reason at all. I hit back. It was.. different. In all my years I never was in a fight then when I'm 56 this happens. Guess she picked the one that looked most vulnerable.

Make no mistake, I've been clonked in the head by a horse too. And stepped on, and fallen on, and you name it. I even shoed horses for around 8 years and oddly enough, never got for real kicked. I mean kicked so that it connected well. Did get cow kicked a couple times, those are sneaky but didn't hurt me much, just bruises. I'll take a horse trying to kill me over a hopped up bar fly or a baseball any day.

Looks like rain! I just planted two acres of wheat (forage for my birds) with a 50 year old neck held hand spreader. Whew! Bet I lost 10 pounds. Come on rain!
