Wow we have all been friends here allot of years.
I have had a rough time getting on with things.
You all make my life go on.
Sun has come out here.

Sunny here too. I sat by the chicken run watching the nestbox for over an hour this morning so I could find out which pullet is laying. No eggs laid while I was there so I started painting the house.

After I got tired of painting I checked the nestbox. And there was a cold egg. Darn thing must've laid it as soon as I walked away from the run. I'll try again tomorrow.

I need to know because this pullet has been laying for two or three weeks, and none of the others have started yet. I want to raise chicks from here so I get some earlier layers.

How old are the pullets now?

I bet she's not laying because you are watching.

 

[Smokerbill]

They're a little over 22 weeks old now. Yeah, performance anxiety.

Yeah, that doesn't seem all that late to me. You just had an early bird.

I have to buy some shoes this month too. Thinking of ordering online. That's kind of a pain because I have to order a few to decide what I want,, and then sometimes don't want any of them.

Didn't know about the flu going around. I don't want it either. Might wait a couple weeks.

We've been waking up to overcast skies for a few days, but it clears up by the afternoon and is beautiful. Not quite as hot as it was and that suits me just fine.

Ordering shoes online is a nightmare for me. I have narrow feet and sizes vary too much. Found a brand out in town that fits and what size of theirs I wear. Bought that one then went online searching. I buy new pairs if they go on sale for less than $35. I don't recommend Clarks if you have wide feet. They run narrow as is. My Mom cannot wear them in wide

This is all we got from the aurora last night before the clouds really moved in. No real color, just the white we usually get when it's barely reaching us. Normally it's dark that direction. Only direct NW has any light pollution from town.

Wow great photo I went to bed like at 10 no extra light in the sky here then.

I have found that Nordstrom sizes work for me and they have narrow, regular and wide. Most importantly, they have leather. But, I don't skimp on shoes. My balance is not so great these days, so I am very particular.
