R2elk knew what I meant...Lickety Split! The ape reference is one I grew up with. May be a regional thing....or maybe it was just my dad's thing...

Took water to the girls & served them breakfast... they are fine. I have not seen one chicken yet. They may be hibernating!

Good one Molpet.

Finally got my van doors unfrozen. Never went past 32 today. 19 tonight. Setting weather records all over the place. We'll be in the 60's by the weekend. Wonder if the whole winter will be a roller coaster.

Already getting the highly predictable and highly annoying Thanksgiving turkey jokes. Getting teased about my girls already!!

Hello? Anyone home? Been pretty quiet around here. So the teenagers are now running to greet me when I go out. Blossom, who is usually reclining on the grill, will just sit there & let me pet her. I'm really enjoying these young girls. Spending, or wasting, more time than I should with them.

I find hanging with the hens fun & highly amusing! Little sweeties! And R2elk is right too...

My teenagers almost gave me a heart attack! Daisy & I were around front for a few hours while tidying up the yard. Gate was open, but they only take a step or two out of the backyard. When I got back...no teenagers! Anywhere. Nothing. Found them sitting in the rafters of the garage. Whew! Left the side door open. Boy were they proud of themselves! They flew right down. They scared me!

LOL! I'd be running after them Molpet!
I'm lucky to have Daisy here showing the teenagers how to behave! Daisy was on my lap this afternoon. Blossom came up and kept pacing around and looking up at me. I believe she was trying to figure out if she could hop up too. The other two were almost sitting on my feet preening. Hanging with the hens!!
