Never regret growing older. Many people don't get the chance."

I like that one.

This is the year I get to be 59! Wooohooo!

Wooohoooo.

Dh came in, and said there are trucks from EVERY cell phone provider, and internet service provider in this end of the state, including Comcast, which we didn't even know they had in this state. He said there are about 40 trucks in total, working on the problem. They got the internet part fixed for our cell provider, so I am able to get on here.

It doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does him, but it puts him in a "mood" when he can't get online. I don't know if he called his mother, so she doesn't panic when she can't get him on her grandpad.

At least they're working on it, and it should be up soon. I feel your pain. I'm pretty rural, so there is only one internet provider, and internet is always cutting in and out. Most of the time, I have to go out on the porch to get cell phone reception. One of these days I need to get a landline.

Growing older is mandatory, growing up is not.. I still feel like I'm hmmmmm, 39?

Last week had ice on the water in the morning... Now it's in the 70's. 75° to be exact. Don't know quite how to react. Except seeds aren't coming out of the packs yet

The cockerel is crowing. He's not even a year old. What is that in bird years--a teenager? No wonder he has a lot to say! Good morning, everyone.

I have had them start crowing at a month old! It sounds very funny too.

It sounds like someone cut the fiber optics trunk!

We have that happen here a couple of times a year.

I think my only bantam has fallen in love with me. I noticed his legs were swollen and patchy, sooooooooo thinking it might be mites, I went out with my tin of bag balm. Petroleum jelly with hydroxy quinolin in it. Farmers use it on cows, and I've used it on horses, dogs, combs, etc. Caught the little booger up after he stomped his feet at me, and held him to my chest with one hand while massaging his poor little legs and feet with the other. Boy he was sure quiet while I was doing my 'magic' . He even seemed to be enjoying the 'attention'. He wasn't so happy when I caught Sara up to do her legs. They share the same roost so I wasn't taking any chances there. She was more rambunctious than he was about being held. He actually spread his liddle toesies out so I could get that goop all over. Will repeat treatment every other day and see how he progresses. I noticed when I first got him his legs seemed a bit odd. Just takes me a bit of time to sort through stuff.

That is what you are supposed to use for leg mites!

I have not had them here though

Middle afternoon droop... Must have another cup of coffee... then stay awake half the night.
