Good morning folks
OHLD Your pond and fish are beautiful!
Blooie While they can be delicate, I have also found pond fish to be quite forgiving. I am surprised ours have lasted as long as they have and we have made some mistakes along the way but they battle on. If it gets much hotter they will be ready to dish up with a side serve of chips!
Looking forward to the pictures of the celebration .. have fun!
J beautiful baby pictures! I love the “feed me!” one.
We suffered a mite infestation, compliments of a visiting bush turkey .. I use Pestene Powder [Sulfur/Rotenone] on the nest boxes and Permethrin on the coop as a preventative. Touch wood, since the infestation a couple of years ago, no reoccurrences and that includes a couple of summers when they can be at their worse.
whoop whoop many thanks for the Beast update. You are not boring me; I thought of him and you quite often yesterday, hoping that all was OK. I am pleased that the Vet was able to clean him up and have everything crossed that he makes a full recovery. Give him a gentle cuddle from me.
N F C thank you for the link .. I had not heard that one and agree it is a wonderful way to welcome the students back.
Many years ago my colleagues and I were given a small ‘Happiness Kit’ by a speaker at one of our Conferences. I have the kit in my office and will continue to refer to it for many years to come.
It is a small red sack with a note attached and contains a piece of string, a rubber band, a marble, a coin, an eraser and a kiss sticker.
The note attached says:
Happiness Kit
A piece of string to tie things together when they fall apart.
A rubber band to stretch yourself beyond your limits.
A marble in case someone says you’ve lost yours.
A coin so you can never say “I’m broke”.
An eraser so you can make your mistakes disappear.
A kiss to remind you that someone cares about you.
I sweated it out in the garden yesterday, mowing, coop cleaning and pottering in the heat and while I was nearly melted and definitely exhausted at the end of the day, I was also very pleased with the results.
Today is housework and grocery shopping and hopefully some quality times with the gals in the garden .. chicken TV!
