You really have an artichoke plant? Like one that grows the veg or is it ornamental?

I did enjoy my nap. A bit too much actually. Woke up in a start remembering I had to go to town to pay tags & taxes on my car. Rushed off to town. Pulled up in front of the court house and then remembered my cash was at home. All's ok though, they took a check. I'm street legal for another year!

It's the real deal and grows the vegetable :DI need a nap but have doubts about getting much sleep tonight, we'll see.

And yes I realize this spider is tiny and probably harmless and some of y’all have scorpions and venomous snakes and killer bees and stuff but we don’t and he is creepy and scary to me, okay? :lau :oops:

And yes I just used the word y’all. :lau

Brandy.... She was surrendered to the pound with horrible gashes and cuts from being attacked by a German Shepherd... Her medical folder is an inch thick. But they didnt think that she would survive....

Shes terrified of riding in cars but will get in if asked.... She burrows down between the back seat and the front seat and digs every time she hears a loud noise.

I tried desensitization.... more trips shorter and pleasenter.... The ohnly thing that happened was she stopped digging but she remains whale eyed for the whole trip... wont loook out... wont take a treat...

The only thing I may try is a Thunder shirt....

But its her only evidence that she has been terribly traumatized... I stopped forcing her to go through that...

The only thing I need from her is to get in the car on her own and be safe.... and not mess with the driver in a panic.

She's a pretty girl Deb.

:lau ugh yes! Roaches are awful!! :sick We have these gross bugs by the chicken coop that only come out at night and crawl all around. They look like roaches to me but they’re pretty small so idk. But they creep me out!! Haha

There was a honey bee yesterday that almost landed on my shirt, I was cool when he was flying all around checking out the shovel and bags of chicken feed looking for flowers (all brightly colored and looked like flowers), I know he’s harmless and I felt bad for the poor guy, but when he thought I was a flower and tried to land on me!? NOPE! I ran so fast!! And also I literally ran all the way from the back of the house to the front (our yard is huge) and went in that way instead of just going 50 feet to the back door, cause he flew that direction and I didn’t wanna risk running through him. :lau also, not long before that, a wasp came at me when I tried to grab a shovel (or so I thought) so I screamed and turned and ran which scared the chickens (I had them out yesterday since I was gonna be out working for hours anyway*) and so they took off with me except one of them turned and ran straight in front of me, almost tripped on her, oh you should have seen me!! You would have been crying from laughing so hard cause when she did that I literally almost screamed at her!! Not in a mean way but more panicked cause I didn’t have time to wait for her to get out of my way!! I’m like MOVE CHICKEN!!! :lau and she did. :lau even if only cause I practically ran through her :lau I got a lot of cardio in yesterday. :lau :oops:

Oh and then that same chicken started eating my cucumber plant a while later and I told her no and she listened to me. :lau had to tell her like 3 times though, and my voice getting sterner, I’m like NO, don’t eat that, leave that alone. And she knows her name so when she didn’t listen I’m like Diva! NO! then she stopped, turned, walked right over to me and looked up at me like “see? I’m a good girl” :lau I did tell her she was a good girl. I was literally like at least maybe 15 feet from her too, idk exactly lol pretty far, and she listened like a dog. :lau Meanwhile, right after that, my Orpington and another hen tried the same thing as did I, didn’t work. I had to start towards them and repeat and then she finally stopped lol naughty girl! The other angel listened at distance and then came over to apologize. :lau

*didnt get much done with all the running away/retreating to house and observing chickens. :lau
 
Kdogg I know what you mean about spiders. I saw a small one on the floor and stopped on it as it headed for a piece of paper. Couldn't find it on my shoe, looked at the paper on the floor and no sign of it. Very hard to sleep if you think a spider is still prowling along loose. I know it got a good look at me. :barnie. I slept with a light towel over my face and tucked in at the sides. I didn't want it walking on me.

I think I would have done the same!! Might tonight too! Or hide under the blanket!! Definitely scary when they are still crawling around!

:lauSounds like me! I was watering the compost pile and I have a pallet underneath part of it. We had a rat in residence and hadn't managed to killed it yet. It came running out from under the pallet when I sprayed the hose and came RIGHT TOWARD ME...don't think I didn't drop that hose and split! Gives me heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

Oh that is disgusting! I hate rats!! And the wild one shave so many diseases!! I would have split too!! I can run amazingly fast when I’m running away from something :lau though of course usually it results in wheezing and huffing and puffing. :lau :oops:
