Hey Deb I hope you are doing better.

Sorry the rain is not making it to the ground.

Here in Alabama we asked to share some of our rain with Calif. since we were getting so much we did not want to be to greedy.

Getting slower is part of the aging process but we don't have to like it. I hope you get settled in soon.

I am hobbling on a cane and DH is doing all the chores for now. Pain killers and helping. I have crutches but they hurt. It was very scary. But at least it is not broke. Thank goodness!

Cyn, dry cough or wet cough? You taking anything that ends in -pril (lisinopril, etc)?

Eek! So the only management is pain management? You won't have to get it repaired?

My 3 buckeyes were joined yesterday by 3 white leghorn chicks that a friend got for me at the feedstore. There is an awful lot of cuteness.

Thanks Diva.
I am just suppose to stay off it. But that is hard to do DH is doing all the chores but it hurts to lay in bed so between the bed and my chair.

Scg lots of cuteness sounds great! They will make great companions to the turkey.

It would be interesting to spend some time in the southern states, I tend to pick up very strong influences from local dialects... I wonder how I would sound after a few weeks. I had to concentrate really hard when working with Indians, I kept switching to sounding like Apu from the Simpsons...

I tend to pick up accents as well. I was born and raised in Arkansas (southern) and at one point we were living in Georgia and I was doing Social Work out in the community (country side, very rural) and we came home for Christmas and my mom commented on my Georgia accent. I have always adjusted (unconsciously) my vocabulary, accent to what ever group I am speaking with.

"Well, bless your heart."

I love the south all the spanish moss and the huge old trees every where. And yes beer can all the beautiful wisteria! I tried to transplant some and it died.

How on earth did you kill wisteria! You need to figure that out and market it because there are people who would pay to have theirs removed.

I found a home for my 9 Peking ducklings. That makes me so happy they all went together.

But its best to keep your clothes on in order to keep cool... you just have to choose the right clothes.

I am very happy living in the desert... but with all extreme climates you make life style changes. Like laying low during the hot part of the day... and doing chores that require muscle in the early morning or late afternoon.

And if you live in a remote area you can do brush hogging at midnight as long as you have a goood flood light....

and then no one would care if you wore a speedo or not... ehem

deb "feeling better finally"

Brush hogging in a speedo! Sounds dangerous in so many ways!

Ok. pain meds are working, going back to bed. See ya

Hope you heal up quick.

Yeah! Fluffy butts! I am candling broody eggs tonight. I gave her 11 so we'll see how many she gets to keep.
