I have a sense of rhythm, but I lack body coordination.

I think since i have turned "29" I have lost both.

Wish I hadn't shown my DH the M-B chicken ad... Now he wants to go gyrate the girls.

Today is the court date for the apple rustler case, provided he shows. Will keep you posted.

Peep, good luck. Hope they give him the chair! (Sitting in a wicker chair on the curb, with a sign around his neck saying "I steal apples").

The chickens don't seem to mind the gyrating all that much.

That punishment would be fitting indeed and much more preferable to the anticipated fine he'll receive. Being as the police officer didn't witness the offense, it'll be a "he said, she said" scenario. I'd like them to tack on a trespass, too. I'll not be compensated for the apples, though, which is okay provided the perp is sufficiently addressed in court for misdeeds and unsettling the neighborhood.

The whole incident really rocked my perception of the safety and tranquility of this place....we're a nice community of like-minded folks and I'd hate to have to put up fences as the neighbors all love my park-like yard, especially since it's the only expanse of lawn for their dogs to romp on. (tidy dogs -- and owners -- are welcome for their daily constitutionals) The apple thief tried the argument with me that he thought the tree was abandoned, which was specious at best considering it's sitting in a manicured patch of grass and there were no fallen apples about.

Anyway, we're nearing our first freeze here. It was 34 this morning and the hollyhocks are starting to look wilty. The apricot has shed its leaves and there's a yellow blanket beneath it. The lawn tractor will be put to duty with more leaf removal/vacuuming than mowing. Fall = big yard cleanup.

Also a Big yard = big fall clean up. We only have a pear tree that only friuts well every other year but we have 2 1/2 acres with tons of trees. The yard is far from manicured but the leaves have be taken care of so they don't ruin the grass (and weeds).
So how many apples did the guy take? A chair out front would be fitting.

Haha, I love that commercial. I've even tried doing that once, it really works. Alas, I'm not as smooth on the dance floor.

By the way, did you see Jaguar's answer to that commercial?

With all that stability going on, so are you saying you're like a chicken in the auto commercials?

So, obviously not watching TV has its drawbacks.

Somehow, I have missed this.

Haha Kathy, that was funny too. Lizzy seems to be one adventurous little chicken.
