Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[ChickAudie]

Do you enjor city life or country life? It's really as simple as that.

See, I can enjoy both! That makes it so hard

For our honeymoon last year, we did the downtown Seattle thing, and also the quiet resort/BnB thing, and I enjoyed the quiet away-from-the-city part better, just my two cents. I found it a lot more romantic to just spend time together away from other people and the bustle of everyday city life.
Also, we spent the first night of our honeymoon in Leavenworth and it was lovely!

Thank you for the input! I have heard wonderful things about Leavenworth

If I order 2,200 - there's no need to be shy about getting some. How much I'd need from you depends on how many of the cartons you want. I'd be happy to give you 1,100 of them at .25 ea.
Oh I wish, but there is no way I would have that much money for that many cartons. I really could only do about 100 of them at that price. Sorry and thanks anyway.

Thank you. I can't cook as in meals of any kind really, I get this weird anxiety when I look at recipies. I get flustered and my head spins, then I get confused even with step by step instructions right in front of me. But with Baking, I have no problem.
I can't find the picture of the wedding cake I did, but here is a pic of DS's cake that I did last year for his B-day.

So it's been a bad morning. A predator got my broody last night. It got in through the one gap in the corner between the fence and netting. Or at least that's how it dragged the broody out. It ate her head, guts and breast. I think it was a weasel of some sort. I saw scat the other day out in the field and the dogs didn't treat it like coyote.

Today was 2 weeks on her eggs, I'm not sure how long they were without heat. I put them under the silkie who had just went broody a few days ago since her eggs were infertile. Hopefully both eggs with hatch.

No, I am so sorry that happend. Man I hope those eggs hatch for you and that you catch what ever it was that got your broody.

There I fixed it!!

Ok, so maybe obviously, with five kids, baby chickens and full-time job, I have no social life. DFH (like what I did there? Dear Future Husband) DOESN'T GIVE A RIP about this whole thing. He's happy to show up and be the reason for a kickarse party. So when I say I need help with the honeymoon, I have very limited resources to valuable opinions and could always use extra "IMO"s.

There are two options that we have:

1) Luxurious hotel suite in downtown Seattle, two night stay with a lovely Argosy dinner cruise and all the attractions of the city, mearly 45 mins from the reception; or

2) A two night stay at Abendblume B&B in Leavenworth (two and a half hours away), where they boast horseback riding, river rafting, wine tasting and peaceful sweeping country views. As seen here http://www.abendblume.com/index.html

GUYS! CHIME IN ANYTIME!

That is a really hard one. I would say number 2, but I also don't know your DFH and what he likes to do. But is sounds like there might be stuff for the both of you to enjoy. Plus I LOVE Leavenworth.

OOOOoooo yeah, I like this option too.


WOW! You have great cake making skills!! I know, I wish we could squeeze in both, but I have a feeling we are going to be exhusted! We both love the country, we would both enjoy getting dressed up and hitting the town.....I think we are going to lean more toward the B&B, but Lord Gracious knows that I will probably change my mind 100xs by tomorrow....

What shames me EVEN MORE is that I know it's Plymouth and I thought Production...I'm just a big ol' train wreck.

I need to place an order for egg cartons. I'm looking at the view-able 1 dozen, pulp cartons. I can either order 250 for 76 bucks (30 cents ea), or 2,200 for 520 (23 cents). If there is enough interest, I was thinking that there is probably time to have an order for 2,200 shipped to me and I bring some to Monroe.

Two thousand two hundred egg cartons - is a LOT -- who wants a few hundred?

I will have 5 girls (instead of 3) so I don't know how many I would need. Do you think 200 would be too many? How/where do you store them before loading them?

Has anyone owned a great pyranese? They're suppose to be great livestock guardians ( with consistent training of course) your thoughts the breed?

MikeyB-

ha! a friend sent me this link today- about DIY projects- and voila- this "famous" DIYer made garden beds like I was describing to you! Like she said- $10 garden beds - made from fence boards!

BTW- look at the photos that other readers sent in- one of the folks used 2x2 uprights on one of the beds- (that's what they usually use for the "spokes" on porch railings) . Now, that's a fabulous improvement idea I had not thought of- built-in plant supports!

VF- where are you getting egg cartons for 30 cents? (I don't need any now, I've got 100+ , but for future chicken math, I might want to store that info)

That's awful! Hopefully the eggs will hatch for you .... And you are successful at catching the weasel...

IMO argosy is never worth what they charge... If you want a stress/trouble free experience....I have dealt with them a lot in our marine travels/experiences, and I only deal with them on things that aren't important....

Downtown Seattle is fun though, and dinner at fisherman's is cheaper/much better food and good views....

I would still pick Leavenworth though....

Well today has not been a good day. First, went out to feed the chickens this morning(I do FF) and found another Silkie chick(14 weeks) dead in the tractor. She was fine yesterday. Having some serious issues with this bloodline. No more birds from this breeder. Then I get up and discover the new dog, Rooster, has the runs and pooped in the crate. So he got a bath, good thing he likes them, Chance(Aussie) hates them. Now waiting for DW to get home so she can clean the crate. If I do it she will be cleaning up my puke too.

I could bring "barnyard flock" eggs to Monroe -- or Black Sex-link eggs (NH Roo over PBR hens).

I dunno about cost? How's 100.00 an egg sound? (Hey I want to go on a vacation! )

$100.00 for a Brown egg ? You got to be kidding right ?

Now that would be a fair price for a White egg

But I know you don't have any of those
