The Front Porch Swing

how is your hen doing with the chicks?

I showed her one when I first got home and she walked off. I am taking things a little slow on introducing them. Two of the 6 had pasty butt, so I worked on them and made sure they were eating drinking, and knew where the EcoGlow 20 was. They have already settled down for the night under the EcoGlow. I can't even see them, so no pictures tonight.

Lena walked a little bit more in the yard this afternoon and was out for a couple of hours. She seems to be improving.

So glad you got some fresh starts in your coop!!!

CONGRATS! I should be getting some really soon.

Rosemarie, I have been enjoying your coop and grounds tour vids! Love your voice and the area you have for ranging.

Woot, I'm so excited! I'm going to the feed and farm store tomorrow to purchase a couple more chicks to add to the brooder box. I want to have a good amount of late-summer laying pullets and maybe I will have a couple extra that I can sell, God willing.

I got so much work done today, though! I finished my internship and came home to finish painting an egg. My sister's cockatiel laid an egg and she told me to blow it out and paint it, funnily enough, haha! I told her it'd have to wait until tomorrow when I have more time. I didn't want to tell her that I'm afraid the egg will be too small to blow out, haha!

Here are some pics of my newest painted egg! So excited about it!

A lot of time went into it. I'd like to hang it on the porch, if y'all don't mind. It looks lovely in the sunset.

You have such a wonderful talent!! It's just gorgeous!

Woo Hoo good news....

Today was kind of pay day for me .... I went to Cathryns to pay my bill and bought a shirt for a little less than the Cathryns card bill... I am sooo bad.. Then I went up to the feed store and prepaid for ten bales of hay and delivery.... Its so nice to have the truck running.

Walking around with the crutches is sooo much eaiser than the walker.... It gets my center of gravity over my feet. I wont replace the walker for a while....

Went to food for less to buy groceries for Moms Birthday dinner tomorrow. She wants fried oysters... So dinner is going to be an adventure because Grandma doesnt do fish of any kind except blackened Catfish... And the occasional Fish stick or Breaded deep fried shrimp. So I am going to blacken some Tilapia for her. I have some Ocra too that I am going to cook up.

I tried to call mom around two to ask her a question and the answering machine picked up too quickly .... So After the grocery store I tried agein. No answer... so because I was worried about her I called Grandma.... first thing she said was "Where ... Have you been..." I thought Uh oh my stommach dropped. Then grandma said "We have to go get my car" It took a moment for that to sink in she said the Cops caught the guy in the next town over.... In Lakeside. And we needed to get the car out of impound.

Who ever stole the car was hit with a stupid stick a couple of times.... He took Grandmas plates off and exchanged them for another set that were from .... wait for it..... another stolen car....

So Mom was there at Grandmas house waiting for me to drive them both to the impound yard. Grandma had to go to sign for the car and bring all the paperwork. By the time we were through the paperwork and paying the impound fees we realized we couldnt drive it without License plates.... So we scurried off to get new ones.... one of those satellite shops that sells tags registrations transfers... etc. We were in and out of there in about fifteen minutes. new plates and registration and tags cost a whoppin 45 bucks. Whew....

When I got the keys for the car and looked INside I was stunned. It was as if someone had taken a beautiful heart out of it and transferred a diseased on... Oh the seats and all the mechanics were fine... but they had ripped off the dash cover without even trying to unfasten it with the velcro.... The floor mats were gone ... everywhere there were grease blobs... All the compartments were emptied and filled with their own personal ___ um er crap.... Garage door opener gone Handicapped mirror tag gone walker gone briefcase gone..... The trunk had been cleared out and filled with a Mans jacket firewood and a good strong hand truck. And a babbie with a muffen in it. The back seat has a pile of greasy tools and electronics.... INcluding one of those tools to break out windows incase you drive it off into a lake.... (car theft tools) Oh and they smoked in it there were ashes everywhere.... and stink. Just two weeks and it smelled like someone elses car.... Oh and they had stuck one of those holders for a radar detector on the window....


Soo glad to have it back.... But it needs Serious detailing inside....

I think I am glad you got the car back. UGH! Will insurance pay for cleaning, repairs, etc.?

Give your mom a BIG birthday hug for me!

I know what you mean about not getting back what you invest when u paint your eggs. I love making wreaths. I love starting with nothing and creating something beautiful. But this wreath took hours probably over 10, over the course of two weeks, but I'll probably only get 50$ for it which will cover nearly the cost of the materials. But I sure love making them!
