No way....no cake for Daisy! If you remember she had part of a cookie at Christmas.

Oh no...not again Ralph! Yes Cindy....she's a pro at the grab & run! Shaw...love the nun!
And its debatable who was more entertained...Daisy or my neighbors family. She called me last night to thank me. Said that's all the kids could talk about. Sent me a cute pic of her family sitting on the deck steps with Daisy in the middle of them. I wish I could post it, but hesitate with people I don't know.

Rained all day yesterday. Colder. Predicting some kind of "wintry mix" for Thursday. Daffodils blooming like crazy. Early magnolias in bloom. Trying so hard to be spring here. It was so nasty yesterday the girls didn't come out....they stated in their coop.

Ok....if gramps likes DQ, all the better. At least she's being appreciated!

Possum + coonhound = no more possum. Could be the way to get another dog!! We've got a little coonie group here....they are cool dogs.

Ralphie...like I said...da hund would LOVE your place! So many animals wandering around! He'd be out hunting all night then sleeping all day! Judy would like him. Hes a gentleman! Well...unless you're a varmint!

59 saddles ALREADY!! You've doubled your business! I'm so excited for you. I know it's been hard work. To your credit....you've created a great product. I remember the design phase. You put a lot into them. Congrats!!!

Marigold is developing a bad habit. She's hanging back when its bedtime. She'll hop up on the bench & I have to go give her some attention, then I pick her up & carry her to the coop. I've tried just shoo-ing her off the bench, but she won't shoo. And boy...she's a heavy chunky bird. Not sure what's going on with her.

That was my thought too. Marigold just wants extra hen hugs. Fred....I need to weigh her. She's a bit bigger than the others....but seems twice as heavy. And those white feathers on her head are soft & downy. She has a patch right on top of her head. A little punk looking! I need to get some pics...they are sure maturing into beautiful birds. Of course I think all turkeys are beautiful. Contrary to my family & friends!!
