Boy oh boy I have been taken by TSC!! I have been purchasing oyster shells ground up an 9 dollars a 10 lb bag I went Saturday morning to the local hardware store where I get my feed and instead of running to TSC to get my hay and oyster shells I have as getting ready to pay and he ask me if I needed anything else and I said no I gotta get the rest at TSC so he ask me what I was looking for I said I need a bail of hay and oyster shells he said 5.99 a bail and 6.39 for 50 lb of oyster shells. I looked at him funny but said ok I'll get that here I didn't know you carried that too. So I built me a container/ feeder out of a tidy cat bucket and its full of oyster shells now for the birds as they need it and what I spilled on the ground was gone in about 10 minutes lol was tired of just giving them a little at a time they always seemed to want more than I could afford but now!! Have at it babies!

Well on the feed I prefer my local Mfg of feeds that's FRM here in Bainbridge Ga I have had best of luck with it I'm just not sure about feeds from stores like TSC by the way they haul it to each individual store. FRM hauls it themselves so I know that no pesticides or chemicals have been introduced during shipment. But it's odd that for over 2 years I never thought to ask them about the oyster shells!

I'm going to be 69-in August, Is that old enough? My Mother is ninety-three, and in a retirement home. No nurses checking on her, still has all her faculties. My dad died eight years ago, he was eighty-nine. I got both my kids grown, out of college, son has been married for eight years, with no children, into there careers. My daughter is 37 and marriage was not ever in her cards. She's a beautiful, tall 5'10" redhead, smart, and has lots of friends. She had a job at Disneyland, and was manager over all there stores, but came back to Texas. Her dream was to live in Austin. Both graduated from Baylor University. I have a farm where I have a young neutered cat. I let him stay in the barn at night, but he comes out in the mornings when I get here. Some critter killed my other cats, and he had a claw scratch on the top of his head. I have been married to the same woman going on 41-year we both got married when we were 27. I am always good with animals. I got some buff orpington, 6-hens, and a rooster, I found them on East Texas Craigslist, paid $80.00 for them. I have had them three weeks, and still haven't used a #50 pound sack of 20% protein, crumble type feed, that cost $13.00 at local feed store. I bought a 40-pound feeder that I hang from rafter in coop. I am also a hooby beekeeper, with now two hives. At one time I had nine hives, my limit was always two have no more than twelve,. But now that I'm older and wiser two is fine, don't want two make a job out of honeybees. In fact I don't want to make a job out of anything. Beesuits get hot in the summer, thats why I wait until fall to take the honey off. That way I don't have to feed them all summer , through the derth, hot, and nothing blooming . In the late summer we have another honey flow, golden rods plants bloome. After that flow is done, then it's cooler, and I take my honey off, and feed through the cooler months. Now the sun has gone down, and almost time to go close the coop. Wife will be making BLT sanwiches, with a fried egg. She got that off the TV show "Pioneer Woman". She is from Brusly, South of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Wonderful cook when I married her. She made me crawfish bisque one night while we were dating. She stuffed the shells, cleaned them out with a toothbrush before stuffing. That got a ring on her finger, with no regrets. Have had to watch my weight eversince. Good night to all who reeds my ramblings. I'm just replying, CT might get after me again for posting in wrong place, Ha!

Another 2-6 inches for us on Tuesday. 

I got some tomatoes sprouted, the rest haven't sprouted yet. I upped the heat in the growbox hoping to get them sprouted. All of my pepper seeds moulded, so I bought new seed today. 

It is still coming down hard...all day.

This time of year..even though I KNOW it could easily go on for another month...I am just so frigging done with it.





(Oh wait...I am done with it before it even starts. I am anti cold weather and snow)
