I thought you were working on a new dessert today or maybe that was yesterday?

I haven't cleaned the juvenile coop :sick . It is one that you take apart - the only bad is the flooring . but we have had chance of rain daily and it has to be really dry to rebox and put in storage.

We have not removed the raised frame it was on, will be removing that today. Had to locate a hanger for the feeder that is on one of it's sides. Found it late yesterday, but did get it painted and ready to install today.

I got me a "chicken yard" cement bench on Friday - it took forever to create a level place for it to rest, and was a heavy haul to move the top and place it on...but did get it done, and love being able to sit and visit my girls :) So kinda taking things easy so I will be over pain to work tomorrow ;)

I made dessert yesterday...the chocolate no-bake cheese cake :drool

The bench sounds great for sitting with the chickens! I've moved one of those around before (pre-chickens) and understand how hard they are to wrestle with. Your girls will probably enjoy it too!

Wish all we had was a chance for rain. Here it's supposed to start snowing around 6pm and continue on through the night and most of tomorrow. The wind has been howling with gusts up to 45 mph so far. I think I'll stay inside today.

Have fun with the juvie coop and know that you have my moral support to help you out :lol:

So far so good, and there is much complaining if I dare remove it! Those little Buttons are vain!

Colossus is so docile and friendly compared to the more uptight and independent Buttons. And so cuddly!

@Teila - those Desert Roses are gorgeous! I've been drooling over seeds from some but not sure how well they grow from seed - I'd like to try though. Here's an auction that has some growing notes about them. Pretty much treat them like a succulent.

I collected seeds from my desert rose. Have not tried to grow them yet.
 
Going back to the tainted dog food posts, I just read this:

"Smucker's announced Feb. 15 that it is voluntarily recalling shipments of Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Ol’ Roy, and Skippy dog food over pentobarbital-related concerns."
...and this...
"After testing 62 samples of wet dog food from over 24 brands for pentobarbital multiple times over several months, just one brand repeatedly tested positive for pentobarbital with sixty percent of samples coming back positive: Gravy Train."

Scary stuff.

Early evening and just a quick visit; I have greets to catch up on! ;)

Another good day pottering and a visit for coffee with Gai and to visit Omu who did a little dance for me and nattered away for most of time, except when he was having his siesta. I enjoy my visits with Gai as we have similar interests, animals and gardening .. we chatted about the fish, our ponds, the garden, cats, her wallaby; thoroughly enjoyed myself!

On the way back from grocery shopping we passed a house with plants for sale out the front; we could not stop because we had to get the cold food in the fridge/freezer. So, I jumped on my bike and pedaled back; came home with two plants in my basket :p I had no idea what they were and there was no one to ask, just an honour box, which of course I put my money in. Anyways, get home and asked my neighbour about one in particular and turns out it is a desert rose :clap Now I just have to not kill it LOL.
