I do not believe Kevin's former owners carried on many conversations with him, so he probably never knew they named him Harold. (Their other peacock was named "Kamar."). Kevin seems to recognize his name, but I use their names when talking to all of my poultry in hopes they learn to associate that particular bit as their own personal "I mean YOU, sweetie" call. He always "brrk"s in response now.

In other news, the well test came in at 6 gpm, so we're good to go!

Congrats! Post pics!!!

All that matters is you get to keep Kevin.

Quote: I always called my dogs by name fiirst then command. then they knew who had to do it! " WHew, not me!!" I do think chickens are pretty smart if they can recognize their name. Not quit like a turtle, or perhaps I just didn't learn turtle speak so I missed the response.


Yeahhhhhhh on the well. That was what we went after too, built a road at our expense to get the well truck in. 360feet later, water. ( DH and I dtermined the lay of the drive, cut and cleared the trees and contractor moved the big rocks.

Dang I hear a coyote singing in the middle of the day!!! The Kratt Brothers on TV. sigh of releif.)

What are the odds that you'd meet Kevin's former owner in a random bar? For you, 100%.

Me? I'd probably meet Ted Bundy.

A few days ago I was looking for something to do with my duck eggs, and the butter pecan ice cream recipe caught my eye.

It is fabulous. It took about 2 hours to prep it before it could go in the ice cream maker, and it was pretty liquidy when it came out, but it has frozen up nicely in the freezer since then. I really like the custardy ice cream base. I think next time I might just make the base without the nuts and use that as my baseline vanilla recipe.



I need a cow.

Just as long as you don't have a cow. There, my attempt at a funny. I have people crack up quite often while I am talking to them in person, wonder what they are laughing at?

Male vs Female Logic

Woman: Do you drink beer?

Man: Yes

Woman: How many beers a day?

Man: Usually about 3

Woman: How much do you pay per beer?

Man: $5.00 which includes a tip

Woman: And how long have you been drinking?


Man: About 20 years, I suppose

Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 …correct?

Man: Correct

Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

Man: Correct

Woman: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have bought a Ferrari?

Man: Do you drink beer?

Woman: No

Man: Where’s your Ferrari?
