I'd be more inclined to believe you if I didn't actually grow up picking pitch and bark out of Dad's corks with a little screwdriver and sharpening his limbing axe every night.

X2- My Dad actully made little wooden shoe forms held on heel and toe with wire, so he could get in the house faster when it was raining.

He always took his corks off before he drove home; when he was seventeen he rolled a logging truck because his corks stuck to the accelerator and he never drove in them again- usually he had romeos under galloshes so he could drive home and milk the cow before he came in. Dad was the king of hypervigilance in may ways, although it didn't keep him from having his five year old daughter help him rip the roof off an old chicken house (an old commercial one, with a brooder room on one end and space for raising 500 fryers behind it) so he could convert it into a cow barn, or having my sister and mr learn how to set chokers before we were out of gradeschool. We all survived, so I guess it was at least thoughtful paranoia.

I have to congratulate this group for not suggesting that an unbeloved inlaw (not one of mine) be set to deal with the giant widowmaker with a 18.5volt Ryobi hedge-trimmer chainsaw.

Are these the Olive Eggers we were talking about yesterday? How are your Araucana chicks doing? Any pics to show us yet?

SadieSue, were you going to visit Illia anytime soon?

Need some new Araucana loves. Only so Ron can have a few of the hatchery girls dropped off in his driveway.

No, indeed- this was a friend's unbeloved. It's too much like real labor for the FLS.

I have just made the young Wyandottes' day by giving them a huge bundle of lemon balm and apple mint. I find myself wondering if aromatic herbs influence the flavor of eggs: it would be interesting to make custard out of eggs from chickens fed a lot of lemon balm.
