Unless you put solar LED lights in the heads to light them up, and line the driveway with them.

Admit it...it would be SO cool, and completely eliminate solicitations.

...oh yes it would.

It would eliminate neighbors, friends, relatives, religious folks trying to convert you, or get you to come to their church, solicitors, girl scouts, boy scouts, repairmen, BUT it really would be SO COOL!!!

Wish you had taken a selfie of you and the big rooster.

Maybe the tire can be something else. Some people grow potatoes in them, as the plant gets taller, they add another tire and more dirt around it.

Is the selfie suggestion at me? If so...here's some hashtags it could fall under; #fail #failing miserably at taking a selfie #most embarrassing selfie #rooster falls on woman

I'd like to see SCG take a selfie with the neighbor's big metal rooster.

Thankfully the tire was ok. $1600 if we would of had to bring a new one in. DH didn't mention how much the outer rim was. The rim is a two piece rim. It was the outer rim that cracked and let go. DH carries 2 round bales with it and I max the bucket when I'm moving gravel and dirt. Maybe too much weight.
Planting is an option if it isn't being used for fire. That's a good idea. Speaking of which I bought a bunch of seeds the other day...mostly different pumpkin varieties. I also bought chives, parsley, onions, and basil. It's basil that keeps the flies away...I hope? Get my green thumb sharpened up and try to be a domestic goddess.

(I couldn't keep a straight face either)

Good morning and happy Saturday!
I thought I'd beat everyone...lol.

I've pammed the chickens. Now they won't stick. I got dinner made and the dishes washed. I will catch up later...

What has everyone got planned for the weekend?

No special get togethers for us. DH is working today and Monday.
We've had so many rainy or partial rainy days that I am going to try and get a weeks worth of outside garden stuff done today
Meat birds go to processing on Friday and I'm soooo ready for them to go.
Without the time I take for them, I'll be able to get some other stuff done. They will be 8 weeks on Tuesday and some are BIG.
My Easter Hatchalong chicks are getting big enough to tell gender. I need to sort through them. My chicken-chore friend will be taking a pair of Ameraucanas I hatched from BYCer Rayvncroft, a friend that works at our local feed store/farmers elevator will be taking 2 or 3 pullets. I will be keeping the Ayam Cemani and two that came from Marans hens that were in with an Ameraucana rooster...I want olive eggs!
Okay, got to get busy...but first....coming soon to NotAFarm...
Grapes:

Cherries:

Blueberries:


Peonies:

...and maybe chicks...got another broody...

Breathing is important, always make time for that!

Oooh, is it the one that they have at TSC? I was so afraid I was going to wind up with that the first year they had them right around mothers day

Well if it was meant as sarcasm, I would do them one better. Go over and let them know how much your love their enormous rooster - it is so cheerful. Ask if you can take some selfies with it.

Well I generally don't selfie, but I did stop the car and take a photo.

They put up the sign a few years ago, I was really excited about it because I though they were going to get cows, but the cows never materialized, just the sign. Then the other day the rooster went out by the sign.

The house it is in front of is a duplex. This past winter I met one of the old guys that lived there at the town sand pit. We had a nice chat - he let me know that BF drives by and doesn't wave. You really can't see the house/porch well from the road, and I tried to explain that. About a month ago my sewing teacher told me that someone she works with lives at the end of my road and that he told her I never wave (the old guy's son). Apparently we are considered unfriendlies? Honestly I rarely see anyone. We live on a dead end, mostly dirt, road. I'm out of the house most days by 0600. There's 8 houses on the road. I've now made it a point that any time I even think I see someone that I start waving erratically.

As far as my weekend plans, had a rough start to the morning. Worked the closing shift last night. Got home and the Cone-Cat (Diva, is she a relative?) decided she was so lonely and sad and needed to be on top of me all night long. It was a hot, sweaty and generally uncomfortable night. Still trying to recover.

I would like to get some of my garden in, but it still isn't warm enough, yet. I would like to quilt some more today but I'm not caffeinated enough for that. I need to get my pack together, and practice putting my tent up one more time. Dsqard and I leave for Yosemite in a week. I'm pretty sure I need a few more things. Monday I am planning to head to the ceremony at our Veterans cemetery for wreath laying.

@superchemicalgirl ....well I guess from now on you need to honk honk honk and wave as you pass the place, that'll make you friends, right?
