Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I do because hubby hounds me about flip flops after the rat bite. I absolutely will stomp rats instinctively. If you don't get them far enough they can twist around and bite your foot. He doesn't want another trip to the ER to cut out a rat tooth because I was only able to pull one of them.

No rats here, but if there were I think I'd be wearing steel toe boots.

I have killed a few in the old coop with my walking stick.
Have not had any in the main coop but after Richard built it I went through plugging wholes as I found them.

They want the shelter more than anything here. Raising the silkie coops up on cinder blocks helped a ton.

I have 2 layer of cinderblocks on the newer coop with concrete in the lower end.

Yeah....no....you're not allowed.

The ER medics still make me laugh from that visit. They didn't believe me until I showed the tooth I managed to get out, then the xray. The triage medic freaked about rabies risk.

I always have something weird when I end up at Madigan. Skinned my eyeball once and tried to remove my pinky last time.

Morning all had my coffee to rockfish to thaw.
Nothing going on here the net keeps going in and out.

Well, it's a nice day in the neighborhood. Finally a little cooler. Have to get busy with dinner soon, but it's nice on the deck.

Making tacos tonight and that always starts at 3:00 so I can get tortillas made ahead.

And I've been dieting so only dh is eating them these days. I'll have a taco salad of sorts, mostly just lettuce and Pico de gallo, with maybe a small scoop of beans.

Have a dress I want to get into for my grandsons wedding in October.

I've been losing weight since we added more beans to the diet.

Bean salad for dinner tonight. Kidney beans, chick peas, lima beans, corn, half a red onion, sliced cucumber, mozzerella balls, pickled banana peppers, kalamata olives, and some Italian dressing mixed through.

Filling and it only has about 648mg of sodium for hubby and 332 calories a serving. He likes it and has to lose weight so it's a go.

I made my own beans, so there is probably less sodium in mine, and I only put a quarter cup on my lettuce then the pico. It's a simple salad on taco night but allows me to fill like I had something Mexican.
