It was great meeting so many of you at the show! I feel wiped out - shoulda used the chair I brought, my ankle is huge. (It has been problematic since I injures that leg a couple years ago, and my size only makes it worse.) If I sat more, I would have had the chance to meet more of you and maybe had a conversation. Too many people there for me to keep names and faces together, and none of you look like your avatars! (Name tags need avatars)
The birds were gorgeous! I was hoping to see more Araucanas - in LF, I saw only white. The salmon Favorelles were HUGE! I want that roo! He looked pretty mellow, calmly eating while all the other roos were making a rucus!
I came home with 3 OE chicks from CL, 2 Bantam Cochins from RFF, and a Light Sussex hen from her too, and a black copper marans hen from zgoatlady. Had to play musical chicke coops for a couple hours once I got home. The Sussex is really sweet - she follows me around! (Maybe she's trying to ask me when I will bring her back to Heather and the rest of her friends). She's an eater too! I put a container of food in with her,and by the time I got home, it was GONE! I thought she must have spilled it, but there was not a pellet in the box with her. When she got here, she went straight for the food too - she's a comfort eater like me. Uncomfortable and in a strange surrounding? Eat!
LOVE the bell CR made and the roo sails, and the trivet, and the yard stakes and T-Hi's duck sign .... DH loved the bell too, and now he wants to get a sawblade for above our fireplace!
i'm gonna go eat a yogurt and then get some sleep, washing and brushing my dogs tomorrow - Shasta in looking like Snuffalufagus. Got to get her cleaned up before taking her to the groomer!
