Aww... I just got a really nice email from the guy who I gave my rooster to. I think I had posted yesterday that I feared Cocky wouldn't be used for breeding after all but of course, that's just the way things are. So here's the email I received today:

"I would like to thanks for the rooster. Since he (6lb 10oz) is little larger than my hens, there is no fighting among them."

That makes me feel much better. Cocky was always so good with all the girls, the chicks he was hatched with and the older hens so it's nice to hear he's getting along well with his new harem, I mean flock.

Happy endings all around. And I promise next spring when I hatch more chicks I won't get quite as attached to my cockerels...

The Hamburgs have rejected their nest box, and taken to laying their eggs in a hollow in the grass. I emptied the bedding and filled it with fresh grass of several dimensions, plus mint and lavender if they find that appealing. Will go check on it after I cool down a bit: feels like an old-style steam bath in the west yard right now. I have to keep coming in and taking off my shirt and shoes and sitting in front of the fan before I go on to the next task, which is highly inefficient.

This has been an awesome day weather wise. Was just listening to that Zac Brown song called 'Knee Deep'. Best parts , "Gonna put the world away for a minute, pretend I don't live in it. Sunshine gonna wash my blues away." and "only worry in the world, is the tide gonna reach my chair". Love love love that song. Always lifts my spirits.

Also was thinking, maybe it's not my life thats in chaos, maybe it's the world and I'm doing just fine. Just gotta kick it with the chickens and try not to let the world get to me. Going to ENJOY this sunshiny weather while I still can. Can feel Fall in the air, but I love Fall. Maybe we'll have an Indian Summer.

Hoping when I'm retired and around 70 I can still get enjoyment from beautiful weather and the Zac Brown Band!

Well I managed to bluff my way through another meal. See yesterday I was given a head of cabbage. Well I decided I was going to try making cabbage rolls. NOT A CLUE WHAT I was ding or how but by golly they was almost eddible. And since I was given a big batch of broccolli I steamed. I am a good kitchen grump and may make somebody a good wife someday. Did I mention I am up for adoption.

Not so sure about that. Maybe nobody but me. The majority of the music I listen too is ancient. The music I like the most is from my youth so when I'm 70 Zac Brown WILL be my youth.

Chicky just let me know that I have to wait a WHOLE week before trying the peekles!!!!! AHHH, torture! OK, they have to sit in the sink with salt for THREE HOURS! so this may go on into the night!

SOOO nice, everybody is gone for the moment. I have the WHOLE place to myself. Just me, the dogs, the horses, chickens and very alive growing veggies and a sink full of sweating cucumber slices. "Think I might have found me my own kind of Paradise"

OK peoples, I never said I didn't think it was a good idea to use them for whatever ails ya. Just pictured a bald guy with one taped to his head. Geez. At least Rustler gets it! Thanks for the email big guy. Yes, you probably would have got spanked for that. Oh, and the one about 'what women/guys want' was a good one too. I appreciate you.

I had the same image in my head.

SAWEET enjoy while you can. And let me know when ya need some help eting them peekles. Some time I will have to tell about in my youth when I ate a full quart of them and drank all the juice too. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
