The Front Porch Swing

A lady does not spit and right now, a lady I am not. However, out of courtesy, I will spit from behind my napkin and next time I come around, I'll brin out some delicious spicy chai tea with cream. No one can resist an apology sided with cream and spicy sweet tea!


Did you know a pretty good size snake can get through 1/2"X 1/2 wire?
I found one in the "nursery" not till he ate several chicks, and he was a lot bigger then and couldn't slither back out. He died very UN peaceably

Ah, jeepers! Just when my mood was improving by the minute and I was thinking the chicken run dilemma was solved, I read back a few post and spotted one little thing I missed earlier. And it had to be about the one thing that has been freaking me out ever since we decided to get chickens - sticking my hands in a nest and finding a reptile instead of an egg! I thought 1/2 inch wire would do it - I may have to cover my entire run in window screen now.

That's a fabulous idea.  I have a 7x12 one that I was thinking tin roofing.   But you know, deep south has no snow so I could do with a tarp.  

Tarps are great but they don't last where I live. I bet you in the past year I have gone through a dozen of them! That runs into money! Do yourself a favor and get a good tarp from somewhere and not the kind sold in places like WalMart. The sun just bakes them and before you know it they are thread-bare PLUS the wind whipping them around wears them out in no time. Put the two together and those tarps are a joke! There is an Amish guy here that has a sign up that he makes "custom tarps". I am going to have to pay him a visit.

@Blooie... as long as those snakes don't shoot up your shirt sleeve you'll be okay. LOL

I wonder if it's too late to switch to goldfish.

Where is that Bee...? Since she's not here I'll post a pic of her hoop coop since we're talking about that sort of stuff.

That's got to be what I have. Seriously.

Edited to clarify: Ok, I think I read this wrong. My OCD form is WHEN I do my cleaning etc. It has to be immaculate. But sometimes getting started is a different thing.

That's it Linda......IF you can't do it perfectly......then it doesn't get done......
