Thankful Thursday. Thirsty Three Times Think Thickish

Troublesome cockatiel Trying to steal pretzels

Thank you.
Been a busy week....but a lot for which to be thankful.
Heart monitor....again. Prepping chickens for a show.

Some lunatic set fire to our pasture on the west gravel road while winds were reaching gusts of 50 miles per hour.
Winds were blowing the flames toward our rent house and one of our stock piles of round bales of hay.
We were in Shawnee 20 minutes away when a neighbor called us. Another neighbor drove his feed truck to the nearest pasture of cows and led the cows to a pasture further from the fire.
Fortunately 3 local/surrounding fire departments with pumper trucks responded and were able to squelch the fire and stayed a while to put out hotspots in the wooded areas.
We lost about 30 acres of winter grazing.

Silver lining...won't have to mow under the many pecan trees in order to pick up the pecans. Just need to use a rake. The nuts are falling now.

I am so sorry!
I hope the person finds the right help they need.
I am glad no one was hurt and that you have some amazing neighbors and fire responders.

Heart monitor for who?
You or him?

May I use your egg basket picture to start a thread with a poll about what colors people see?
This is tripping me out.
I can not believe we see different colors.

Me. "There was a problem with the last monitor test" so we are re-doing it. No other explanation than that. Won't know results until mid December.

Oh, remodel is going...meet with electrician next week. Have booked the walls and ceiling contractor...he also paints. Picked out tile and flooring. Still waiting on the demo crew.
