@drumstick diva all I can say is....

You guys would not believe the hoops this sweet lady had to jump through in order to get this to me! And what a surprise when it finally did.

The past couple of days have just been great! First the neighbor shows up with this great freezer that they just didn't want and wanted to know if we wanted it and if we didn't they were going to haul it to the dump. We looked it over, threw open the shop door and he skid steered it into it's new home. It works perfectly.

Young people. Go figure!

Then this surprise came in the mail. It's like, okay, what am I doing right so I can keep doing it. Oh, and the Amish neighbor actually showed up to mow our pasture. It's like

I had to run into town this afternoon to see about getting a cracked window replaced. The window was cracked when we bought the place and I told DH I was just tired of looking at it. Unfortunately, it's a thermal window we are looking at 80$ to replace the pane. 60 for the window, 20 to replace. Considering it would be 180 to replace the whole window or a boatload of work to put a smaller window (wider but shorter) I told them to order the pane. So I only have to live with the cracked window for two more weeks. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

So I'm off to make supper.....and try to catch up.

Microchick, you are very welcome. Nice people like YOU, attract good karma.

PS If you had blue heelers, they had a design with 4 wearing cowboy hats. I know that is the preferred breed color. But I prefer the red ones like Tara's Lacy.

Gee maybe your pups could get saddlebags with YOUR photo on them. Hmmm. They (Zazzle) do custom work at no extra charge.

Oh that would be so funny. Only they would just tear them off and chew them up, or use them to drag one another around with. I was filling water jugs tonight and watching them engage in a five dog wrestling match. Just enjoying the heck out of the pleasant early summer evening and being alive. All I could think was how glad I was that they were all still together and have one another as playmates. We are anxious to see how they react to the pasture without 6 foot tall grass in it.

Thank you for the kind words, DD. I have had the honor of making friends with some of the finest people I have ever met on any forum here on BYC. I am truly humbled.

Ron, I do my best to be me all the time! LOL. Sometimes it's easier than it is at other times. Kinda like the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other, sort of thing.

Let my broody with the oldest chicks out today. We have an invasion of flies and mice here. Everyone has fly problems right now, inside and out and the mice are just ridiculous for being spring. I have a theory that the rain is bringing out both pests, flushing the mice from their burrows and the flies, loving moist ground are just opportunistic. Everyone I know is buying flyswatters and going off to war. I had mice using my lowest pen as a thoroughfare. As it is plywood except for the opening, I put my tomcat bait trap in it and put a chicken wire panel over the entrance and held in with screws so the mice can access it but the chickens can't. Last night I opened the outer door to the coop and there were five or six juvenile mice sitting there between the doors. I managed to dispatch one of them (the Fayoumi said it was delicious) but the rest scattered leading me to believe that they are coming in out of the fields and squeezing under the outside door which doesn't fit as tight as the inner hardware cloth covered inner door. I have no idea how they thought they were going to get in the coop as they couldn't get through the hardware cloth. I've gone through alomst a half a bucket of Tomcat bait and still the mice keep on coming.

The Amish neighbor got half of our pasture mowed. Maybe with the hay baled the mice will be more easily accessed by the predators. I hope. I have never had mice this bad, this time of the year.
