Oh, THAT club. I know that club.

Quote: Welllllll I had a few shall we say removed to protect somebody?

OK so maybe a few more than a few. Like maybe a BUNCH !!

So ya got an rustlin' accomplice or something that you had to protect?

Because I'm sure you'd never say anything ter get yerself into trouble.

Well seems dat at least some thought some things I said were bad enough they needed removed !

ETA It also seems that my accomplice has gone underground as he rarely pops in here any more.

Just finished watching my morning chick-o-rama along with my morning cup of coffee.... still no clue who's top-o-the-flock. They're a feisty bunch. Even the tiny one, Latte - she managed to get a good one in - landed right on top of one of the others - not sure who, they scattered pretty fast. I'm beginning to think the little battle is for show though. The box will be completely silent, then I walk over there, they look up at me, then it's almost as if they're thinking "I'm gonna strut my stuff for my chicken momma, so she knows I'm all that". Within minutes they're in battle. I walk away and it's over.

Quote: We have a manual log splitter that you could use if you need too. The willow trees that I had to take out this past January were difficult to split. They were very stringy. I burned most of the firewood this past summer. I would love to have a small wood stove in the house. My son has access to downed trees for most of the winter. So he has brought us several loads of fir rounds.

From a couple days ago. First fire of the year. Got the house up to 95*. Felt so good.




There used to be a huge Cottonwood next door, but it came down during a windstorm a few years ago, and took out the neighbors house. They used to save any downed branches for me. I didn't notice it being especially wet (it was deadwood), but it burned fast, not so hot, and it smelled dirty.

The same neighbor took out a huge Alder, and the neighbor on the other side took out 3 Cedars. I took out 3 small trees. The tree services told me that it was much cheaper to cut the wood into rounds and leave it, rather than haul it away. Both neighbors gave me all the wood, so I'm stocked up for a couple years.

Scared myself this morning. Dropped off DH at work and took the kids to the grocery store for the week's shopping trip all before breakfast. Got home at 7:50 and the chickens were in the yard happily finding bugs! I never let them out.

Apparently I forgot to shut the run last night.

They must have been thrilled to have immediate access to their hopes and dreams as soon as they woke up.

Gotta remember to get out there and shut it now that it's getting darker earlier! Doh!

I've done that a few times over the years. Kind of heart stopping, for a moment. Fortunately all's turned out OK.
