A "GOOD" poultry auction ???? That is a matter of perspective. No matter where it is. Auctions are not known for being a "good" place to buy birds unless one is just buying dinner. Most of what you will find at an auction are not something you would want to keep in your flock.
Scared me to near death !Hayyyylooooo!
Ok so sorry for the scare on Tuesday. I had put CL on the list of folks to call when I got out of surgery. Just forgot to tell her.I underwent a pretty extensive hip surgery on Tuesday. The actual surgery itself lasted almost 4 hours. I am now on bed rest for 2 weeks & then I can not bare any weight on my right leg for another 6 weeks. The surgery itself went well and now it's just the ugly painful side of recovery.
I'm not sure of all the new folks that I met at Monroe. But HI!!!!
If you saw Her Royal Highneyness Daffy at Monroe then you saw me!
You'd have to talk to Uncle Mervie, he's the registered owner: getting it from here to anywhere is complicated by that little legal fact. And getting rid of the raccoons, of course, not to mention the interior stuff that needs to go to the dump. Free is sometimes not cheap.Hmmm... I'd get it so it could be towed, and then move it. Oh boy oh boyOH ! I dig that dust bath - I need to put that on my list of things to make. It would be perfect out in the middle of the pasture.From what I hear you do NOT want to use pressure treated lumber for raised beds. Nasty stuff leaches from the wood into the soil into your food.
Hi everyone !
How was Easter ?
It has been HOT here, like 70-80 degrees !!!!!!!!!!!!!
We stopped at HD yesterday morning early & bought 10 gallons of paint, ($450. ) and then went to Mom & Dad's for a family brunch.
No grandkids there though~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All our grandkids are far away...kinda sad...............
Einstein painted the little pig that CR made...and we took it to Mom, she was so excited !
I have to get a photo of it after dad plants a few flowers in it & will post...but it is white enamel with black spots, pink nose & feet...very cute !
So I get to paint today....ought to have a screaming sore neck, back, arms, legs, hands & feet by tonight (did I leave anything else out ?)
We spent the day up on Whidbey Island today, trying to get a glimpse of some of the gray whales or transient Orcas, buit no luck. It was a nice day to be at the beach though! We caught this heron feeding at one of the marshes- and had a perfect mirror image- but then the tiniest breeze kicked up just as I was trying to snap it on my iphone.
We got home so late, after having to wait for 2 ferries- (finally getting on the 3rd one!)- that we weren't able to check on Mrs Broody and her futur(?)e hatchlings. Fingers crossed that she's got some fluffballs under her when I check tomorrow.
