It is a very busy time of year!trying to get everything in RL squared away in preparation for the school year...
still not ready.
We are supposed to start next week.
(we follow the college schedule ).
I am feeling bad for the eldest.... he says he is happy with it this way, and wants it this way... but you know I am a true blue pessimist, to the bone, can't be happy).
I just remember going off to college and enjoying the total independence.
Poor kid will have to go to school in the tiny town where we live...his math prof is renting a house next door to us, Spouse works at the college...
poor kid, if he sneezes twice we will probably hear from 3 different people how he was horrid and disrespectful.
Anyway....
on a positive note...we tried putting our youngest set of chicks outside in a tractor... goats jumped on the tractor (we thought we had reinforced it enough) and made it pop a seam, and we lost 2 chicks! We didn't see it happen, I just looked out and saw a little Dominique chick peeping around crying, not able to get back in.
Anyway, ran out and got it, but could NOT see or hear the second lost chick. Second chick is white!
Finally gave up on it, put the chicks back in the house until the tractor could get re-reinforced.
Over 24 hours later, I hear a chick peeping! (I kept the windows open)! There was the white chick, at the side of the green tractor (green tractor has almost fully grown chicks) asking how to get in.
Still can't believe a bright white chick (and yes, we are still green here...but fading to brown) made it that long!! (we have been 50s in the day, 40s at night).
chicks are back out today.... I think the tractor is now safe.
walking distance is NICE! Eldest has no license. ..trying to save money.
That is a long walk when it is cold out!
hiking they always take a gun... ...
but nah... kid #1 is a very pro gun pacifist. An odd combo...but he wouldn't carry a gun.
hiking they always take a gun... ...
walking into town...it would only be seen as slightly odd.
Luckily where I live there are no brown bears... and since there are no salmon streams between our house and town, he would probably be fine.
there are lots of black bears....
