Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Chickielady]

Thanks for the welcome to this thread I'm trying to catch up got to post 71 or so.

Today I've fed the chickens they got cooked pumpkin that I put in the freezer last year
before I had chickens some folks gave me their Halloween decorations. This year I am
getting the straw too for the nest boxes.

Back to reading posts and trying to catch up I know I can do it caught up on the old timers thread!

I have some old barred rock hens, a couple EE, and young Marans to learn with. We had RIR when I was a kid, hubby had Leghorns. Grand kids love helping do the chicken chores here.

They like uncooked oat meal, corn meal and pumpkin mixed together for a home made crumble that I've been baking but I bet they would eat it w/out being baked!

No eggs here after moving them and molting black Morans are not old enough yet. We still are glad they help eat the bugs in the back yard!

Welcome to the thread !!!

I dug a couple of small holes by the back fence for volunteer dogwoods yesterday. It's still bone dry four inches down.

Love the new avatar...BTW...beautiful birds !
We have clay here...and a few veins of gravel.
The gravel is all running over, down the hill as rivlets.
Same with the gopher holes...instant 'springs'
I have a feeling we will get alot of wet heavy slushy snow this year....ick !

I have sandy soil.

Thus easy to dig in.

As do I, and I'm wondering if you will want a few (dozen?) lilacs for that hedge; the Pink Elizabeth, in particular, has a nice forest of young'uns and a graceful upright growth habit and (oh, goodie, an excuse to put up a picture!) lovely blooms, to whit:

I may have some others- Pres.Grevy and Will Klager are possibles- and t'would be the work of a minute to get them dug and sacked. Any time, no pressure, not as if I can no longer get to the fence on this side or anything...

(This offer open to any and all BYC Washingtonians, these are Lilacs from Hilda Klager Lilac Garden).

And, in case I haven't said it lately, I love, love, love caller ID, but I pick up anything with a Wasshington area code, just in case it's one of y'all or a relative who doesn't have email.

(prompted by anopther call from a number in Las Vegas which I know is an electeral robo poll).

Wish I had more room in my yard.

I want one really badly

I love the traditional kilts, but I think the utilikilts are particularly awesome. I had a friend who worked at Utilikilts in Seattle. I know a few guys who wear them regularly to work in. A couple of them do crew/construction work in the theater. (Hmm, those guys climb ladders to hang lights from the ceiling of the theater. I imagine being there while they're working would answer that age old question...)

Yeah, it is.

I joke around that there are millions of hungry cows in this country and millions of missing people.
Just sayin'

Whereabouts would these loverly lilacs be located? We bought our place almost exactly one year ago so we've now had one full season cycle to find out what all is here (8.5 acres of mostly old growth bordering the Oly National Forest). The few trees we added in the spring probably didn't survive the drought this summer. I parasited as many unwanted plants from friends and family and focused on decidious and flowering to try to break up the ad nauseum evergreen.
