I have my moments...

Yea my poor soon to be hubby he has a list a mile long. He is amazing though he has finished so many of them already. The last time he said he was bored I handed him a shovel. I know have a fish pond. 7 from long 4 from wide and 3 from deep. We still have to get the pump and something cuter to hold the liner down. Done several remodeling projects on the house including paint floor and plumbing. He built the temporary coop and is building the coop. He has a playhouse to build next and a garden to start. Some of these things had to be done but most of them were for me simply because I ask. Although I've never heard him say the words I'm bored since that last time. Yep I'm one lucky woman

Take it from an old wife--make sure hubby has time for his fun too.

Oh, you guys!

I will tell you a funny story, though.

I was stopped at a redlight one day. A car pulled up in the lane next to me and I looked over to see the young male driver snap back to eyes front. I kept looking at him and he would cut his eyes over at me and quickly away. I couldn't tell if he was fascinated by the blue lights, the female cop or if he was holding, but he was not paying attention to the light.

I took my foot off the brake and rolled forward. He saw the movement and accelerated straight through the intersection and the still-red light! Ha ha ha ha!

Of course, I pulled him over in the next block. When I got to his window, he was shaking his head and saying , " You got me, I fell for it and you got me. Go ahead and write me. I deserve it." I laughed and said, "Just get out of here."




Elle is wondering where everybody went and isn't planning to let the last chicken out of her sight!

Arielle he does, he does most of these projects at his own pace with the exception of the coops those are time sensitive.

My DH likes the construction of coops, and we are always behind, darn chicks grow so fast! We are overloaded with turkey poults, too, right now. Hoping to have a few breeding trios come spring. Sweet Grass, Auburns, and Narrigansetts in addition to the BOurbon Reds. I will need breeding pens. And, fortunately, DH likes making them. he he he

Arielle, I am interested, What are you asking?

I guess I have become well trained after all those tameless years. I got to thinking, planning and using bamachicks ideas. Still not sure if that is the way to go but it's in my mind and paper. So a good possibility.. No more, thank you lady....

On the subject of boredom... I have not been bored since I was a little guy. Way too much to do, explore, get in trouble and have fun as well as get things done.

mmm, so I take it Wisher is a cop!!!!!

Is she another not so old person that seems to hiding here from her peers????? (whatever that means)
I got to watch what I say and do, or she will find out how us oldtimers do things. It took many years to learn the tricks we do. snickers.....



Arille. I second that. Not all husbands know the trick of turning work into fun and games just to see the reaction from our other half...
The looks are worth the beating we take. or, a playful mate is a happy mate. An over worked, hen picked one is gone soon....

A heck of a good day, lots of small stuff finished, new plans being done up and of course Chicken TV was awesome.... The new mixed group laid the same amount of eggs. So they took to each other pretty good, plus they are basically the same ages, older. laughs...The teens are still trying to get back to the JDC, the new (last summers babies) laying flock are all laying. Now if I could ever remember where I buried that chest of gold coins, life would be better....

Arielle, I am interested, What are you asking?

If you are asking about turkey hatching eggs, I'm thinking $3 each. Of course, I"m not counting my eggs before they hatch!!!! OR count my eggs before they are layed . . . ?? Or somthing like that!!

To the best of my knowledge, Wisher isn't hiding from her peers, but I *might* be hiding from my offspring. (She'll never find me in here!)
