Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[SadieSue]

It was SO nice to see Honeysuckle Hills, Terror Bird, Slinglings and DawnG yesterday. I really, truly appreciate that they made a longgg trek from the north all the way south to Olympia to see Reservoir Dogs which I will say again is definitely a show not for everyone as was proven when two women walked out yesterday. As they left a few of us were waiting in the wings to go on for a scene and one of the women said, "You ladies are great - we just can't stand the show"! Which as odd as it may sound, wasn't an insult to us. It just validated to us that we were doing a very good job portraying very real, bad people onstage. These women were just overcome. Someone did not do a good enough job warning them in advance.

I thanked my chicken lady friends for being brave and kind enough to stay through the entire play and then my 75 year old mother and sister (who both LOVED the show) joined all of us for a nice bite to eat at McMenamin's Spar restaurant in downtown Olympia. What a lovely visit we had! My mother called me a short while ago just to tell me again how much she enjoyed the play and the company of my poultry pals,

saying what nice women they were. What was the remark that waiter made that we all laughed at? It was something related to poultry or fowl and someone in the group said, "You have no idea who you're talking to", so we had to explain we'd all met through our love of backyard poultry!

DawnG was nice enough to bring my soap order to Olympia for me because I foolishly gave ALL of my order away to friends and found I was left with NONE.

So thank you again ladies for attending yesterday and having dinner with my mom, sister and I. It's always so much fun to visit with other WA BYCer's and good to see all of you again!

I ordered a turkey sandwich and the waiter asked if I was in a foul mood

It's been one of those days. I need to catch my breath. I'm drinking a beer (Ginger's Amber Ale!) in the back yard with my chickens before I pick up my kids.

I haven't bothered to go back and read the replies to my post yesterday and I"m not sure I will. So if anyone said anything to me that I need to hear, please repost it or send me a PM.

Having never been to a poultry show I would love to see the winners. Exspecially the sizzle/frizzle silkies if you have any. I was so upset I couldn't go but have been down with a bad back and there was no way I was walking around. Thanks for thinking of us who couldn't go. Please post pics.

There was a Silkie on Champion row, don't know if I got a picture of it (It was not a Frizzle). here's what I have access to on this computer, note since it was a dual show if the bird is only listed once it was probably a dual champion and not sure what it took in other show.

Hi peeps & quackers!

Been a bit crazy around here! Plus my laptop was being used downstairs and I have been trapped upstairs! Oh well!

Hope everyone gets a chance to get outside in these next couple days! Looks like it is going to be gorgeous! It is killing me that I have empty pots sitting on my front porch and have not bought flowers to plant in them! All the flower beds in the yard have been weeded (thank you DBF) and are screaming at me to make them beautiful! AAAAAA!!!!!

My name is T Hi and I am a floweraholic.

Ohh, where do you work? I wonder if something that size could be made into a little broody house?
Our wherehouse is in Kent, just across the street from IKEA. They are 4'x4'x4' (I was going to cut the top off of it a few feet and make a raised garden planter - a great idea from ChickieLady). I have to check and see if they will fit in our trailer, DFH will be picking up some more pallets here soon and might be able to fit it in and drop it off to you. You're in Tacoma, too, right?

Yes I am! Well, technically University Place. If you could fit one in with your pallets I would love it! I'd gladly chip in for gas for the hauling favor. Then I'd just need to figure how to modify it... Hmm... a good reason to waste an hour or two looking for ideas on the internets again... PM me if and when this might happen please!

I keep b**ching about wanting to get rid of my kids' swing set so that I have room for a real coop and run, but today I realized something--I won't be able to swing with the chickens anymore! They love it, they go limp, their legs stick out and they lay their little beaks down on my arm. It's so sweet <3 I tried to get a picture today but I got pooped on, twice. I've been bragging that I've never once been pooped on since owning chickens, but they got me today. Ginger, Halle and Leila all had sweet little naps on me this afternoon.

Sweet SadieSue, I will let you know when he hooks it up and I will have him load one for you. I have a small portable 3" craftsman saw that would cut through it easily and without much effort, just let me know how high you want it. It's a top-opening, not a side, so a little bit different than the one on craigslist.
