How are you doing Becky?

Not too bad for the shape I'm in! Same old same old problems, Cap. If I don't do too much, meaning sit on the sofa and watch TV I do pretty well. If I live what passes for a normal life for me, I pay the price with pain and muscle spasms. I guess I'm learning to live with it with the help of modern RX drugs.

How about you? Any more news on the Scleraderma front?

I hear you on sitting on the sofa. I am waiting to see what the Rheumatologist will say, but it takes a while to get in to see specialists. Meanwhile my tooth ache will keep me busy. Need a new dentist STAT!

Girl, you are like me, a walking train wreck! Take care, my friend. I know what you mean about waiting to see a Rheumy. 3 months for me to see mine. I'm contemplating giving my DO primary care of my joint problems again and only seeing the Rheumy or his PA if something acute pops up that I can stand a delay for.

Speaking as only a true Southern girl can.. I say: get your grub on and you will never be the same - love some good jambalaya. Enjoy a taste but be prepared to feast.

Any day spent above ground is a good day, Penny!

Just came in from letting the chickens out. They are enjoying the cooler weather and I got to hear Trouble learning to crow. He's so funny, one moment he's singing like a hen and the next he's crowing. Can you say, HORMONAL SURGE!

The leaning of cockerel is truly fun to listen too I actually enjoy listening to them

This is my 'how did they manage that? Chick. She is 8 weeks old and you can see the brown feathers coming in on her back. One parent is a SDW OEGB and the other is an Egyptian Fayoumi, although I am suspecting that mom was a SDW hen and Dad my EF rooster as that hen incubated bantam sized eggs.

This is Trouble sitting next to Sissy. I know the comb on Sissy is pretty dark it's small and no hackle or saddle feathers developing on 'her' like they are on Trouble and Bubba so for now, she is a she. May change at a moments notice tho. You can barely see the little SDW pullet almost under Trouble's breast feathers on the left and the tail belongs to Bubba. You can see the saddle feathers coming in on him and he is keeping a safe distance from Trouble.

This is my baby Peanut. She is a BBR from a really small egg and as you can see she is very small but holds her own against her larger siblings and flock mates especially when I toss down bread crumbs for them in the morning. Being small means she can run between the legs of the larger hens and snatch a morsel from their beaks before they can swallow it.
