I so jealous. I would love to go sit on a beach and feel warm. I hope that you and your mom have a great time. If you don't find anyone for the hens, I can take them now.

We showed Puppy one year at King County Fair. Our DD was in 4-H, she had shown Llamas at the Clark County Fair, and so much fun. But the showing the dog here, was a horrible experience. It was the beginning of the end of a cherished friendship. Puppy had a great time, because he loves for people to talk about him. I just didn't expect the politics, and competitiveness from a person that had been such a close friend. So I regret the dog thing, and wish that we could have kept the llamas. The llama group in King County was as nice as the group in Clark County.

This is a picture of T-Hi and her DD with Puppy.

Poor Wobbly - but you did give him much more of a life than he would have had elsewhere.

If you want a bantam Cochin roo, I have 3 extra

I don't need more birds at this time - I need to get the egg eating under control before it snows!

Have fun in Samoa! I'm jealous. Pre-kid, I dove with turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, Manta Rays in Yap. and lots of sharks at Blue Corner in Palau ....

Oh heck no... NO more Roos!

Just need to know if Speedy can live with the biguns in the coop or is that bad?

Mom is already complaining about the cold so the "Requirement" was warm.... the rest was up to me...
If no new chicken owner wants the girls and you'll add them to the flock you can have them

They have a lavender Andalusian look to them and white earlobes.... Same size as my AM's

Sorry!!

I got your voicemail. I have been napping on and off all day. A little bit Nyquil induced! I will give ya a call tomorrow evening when I get off work!

That worked for me. I ended up with 2 neighbors knocking at my door with all the nasty little dogs. What I didn't know is that these 2 neighbors don't talk to each other. Some angst over a street tree, and dog kennels. It was rather awkward for a bit. Any way I met another great neighbor, that I have a lot in common with. I ended up over at her house looking at her garden. Her garden is beautiful.

When I got home I realized that I had left the door to the garage open, as well as the back sliding glass door. It was dark in here, and I flipped on the lights. A few moments later I see something kind of big fly by my head. It was this that flew by me.

So then I had to figure out how to catch her and get Fred back outside. I realized that the first thing I needed to do was turn the lights off. She was hiding in the garden window, so then that meant I needed to move half the plantation. So she got caught easily. But then I realize and confirmed that she didn't want to go outside where it was dark and sleepy time. So I now have Fred tucked into the greenhouse for the night. She wasn't wanting to fly off into the night. I left the door open so she should be able to leave in the morning.

As long as I had to house Fred for part of the day, I figured that I was going to get pictures to prove she was here. I told Fred that's the price of bird food in the people house.

Somehow catching the hummingbird was something I had learned from catching chickens. It is always easier catching a chicken after the lights are off. So I realized that I had walked in to a fairly dark house, and turned on a lot of lights. So I turned off the lights after I knew that the Hummingbird was in the garden window, and gave myself time to adjust to the dark. I also had to pull out a flashlight. Because I then found that I needed to get behind the many small plants, and a very large Anthurium.

After that it was very easy to pick up the hummingbird. She argued a bit, but I just told her that this is the way it was going to be. Even after I started to take pictures she seemed very calm considering. I was very surprised how long she sat on my hand after I had her out the door, but it was dark outside. so I walked her over to the greenhouse that has a grow light on all the time. She then flew into the greenhouse. I'm just hoping that the cats don't find her.
