The Old Folks Home

There are hundreds of comments that come to mind concerning the puumpkin TP but most of them would get me banned.

Weekend plans. Finish reupholstering a chair that is in the livingroom. I found the poor baby in the basement not long after DH and I met. He was going to toss it and I said, don't you dare, I can restore that chair for you. It had woven wicker panels in it that needed replaced and reupholsered. When I got it finished he put it in his office. When we retired, it was moved to the livingroom. Now it needs 'freshened up' so new fabric on the seat and back.

Other than that, same old same old. Most of the outside work is done for the season. We will get the wood splitter hauled into the barn hopefully but this is the time of the year that projects move indoors for us.

Temp this morning is holding at 33. I'm hoping it dips lower and kills off the bugs!

Congratulation on the new badge @ronott1.Does this mean you get to volunteer for projects? If so we have this shop that REALLY needs cleaned up...........

Ok, for anyone who did not look close enough at my photo of the pumpkin TP to already figure it out, it's a spoof!

Just came in from checking on the chooks and every one of the "teenagers" are still up on the roost bar staring out their window at me with a "you must be nuts if you think I'm going out there!" look on their faces . Going to be a long winter for them if they don't suck it up.

I am going to try to finish most of the hoop coop this weekend even though hubby can't help.
1. Put up tarps
2. Attach roofing
3. Hang door
4. Cut plywood ends
5. Attach hardware cloth over vent areas.
6. paint, which may not get done as we are supposed to get some rain.

I want to see pictures of the chair and coop progress.

I am to the point where I need to bring wood in. I got the goats and ducks cleaned out, also, and Caramel (the goat) could not stop putting her head up my butt and sniffing. Maybe it was the beets.

OK, it's time for WHO HAS FUN/NOT SO FUN WEEKEND PLANS?

I'll start... finishing (hopefully) the outdoor chores today - bringing back inside all the tomato cages, raised bed bags, fencing and stakes... then organizing the basement a bit. Putting up the reflectors before the ground freezes, bringing wood in (a few larger pieces that fell last winter into the chicken run [they loved them so they stayed until yesterday] need to be chainsawed first) and planting garlic.

Today is shopping and menu planning day for the week like every Saturday. I need to clean the coop and run.

I am about to start grinding flour for bread. And if all goes to plan, I will make it to super cuts today to get a hair cut!

I know, not too fun.

We got our new shiny project manager badge yesterday and have already been given a project...To re organize the coop pages. I did not realize that the coop pages were such a big deal. On that subject, If your coop page or other article is locked and you need it edited let me know. I can edit articles now.

I told you all about my cat, that thinks she's a mother hen, and would pull the brooder box all over the house, so she could keep it with her, and keep watch over the chicks. I've always said I never thought she would hurt a chick. Well.....

The screens on our screen porch got torn up by the hurricane. Can't fix it until they put the new roof on. Yesterday evening, a small Meadowlark accidentally flew in, and wore itself out trying to find the way out. My cat saw it, and went charging to it. I was still at the sliders, watching, but not quick enough to get to her.....She got right up to that bird, and it cheeped. My cat stopped dead in her tracks, cocked her head, crept a little closer, and laid down. The cat began meowing loudly, calling me. I got to them, and the cat darted into the house. She knows chicks don't belong outside, so she was headed to the area where I keep the brooder. I shut the slider, opened the screen door, and shooshed the bird towards the door. When it got near the open screen door, it took off. In the meantime, the cat was waiting for me to put the chick in the brooder. She keeps giving me these "what the heck, mom?" looks, as she heads to the brooder box to double check.

Haven't been in here for a while. I'm going in for some shoulder surgery as some of you already know, getting on my desktop for fun for a bit before then. In the meantime, maybe some of you have already seen this ... crazy!
