Well I am down to just one frizzle, and now am the proud owner of 2 Lavender Orpingtons. I also need to worm the whole group.

I have almost gotten the kitchen cleaned up again. All the plants are back in the garden window. I'll have take a picture as soon as I get the dishes out of the sink. I need Robin to make me a "No Hummingbird sign. It takes me just to long to get everything tidied back up.

Fortunately, I already had my sugar fix via a rather tasty cinnamon roll from Honey Bear Bakery this morning. Otherwise, I might feel tempted to bake something now! No tempting the dessert addict!

Grr... that would make me really upset.

Ridiculous in a neighborhood where there are kids and residents around.

That kind of hunting is called "driving" and it highly illegal.
You need to call the F&W line.
You CANNOT drive a herd from one property to another where you can then legally shoot it.
You cannot shoot a firarm in your type neighborhood, that is why they drop a guy off above & drive the herd down to a place where they CAN shoot it.
It is driving, and it is illegal.
You are supposed to pick a blind, get permission in a sfe area to discharge a firearm, and then you sit in it & waite.
Same for Elk.
Alot of guys team up on Elk, and drive them with quad-runners to the area where they can legally shoot.
It is illegal to do so!
Report it to Fish & Wildlife!
Alot of hunters get desperate now, last day is the 31st........
And ALL hunters MUST wear a safety orange vest & usually a cap.
NO hunter can legally hunt in just camo.
Get a license # if you can, and call F&W!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your post, CL! We have a lot of that issue here too. There are big utility easements below those huge power towers, but they are on PRIVATE PROPERTY. People assume that since there is an easement that they can hunt there. My neighbors kids were playing in their yard when someone was hunting and they shot an arrow into a stump not 50 feet away! Another went over the top of my next-door neighbor's house and stuck in his pond (and that is no where nead the pwer lines - he owns about 50 acres and someone was illegally hunting there.) There was a long, narrow strip of land between our neighborhood and the one next to it where hunting was legal, and a group from here pushed to have that closed. They had to wait until someone in Olympia died because he refused to sign any hunting bans, but when he did die, the lawmakers in Olympia far extended the area where hunting is no longer allowed, as there are too many residential homes around here.

Still people hunt - I took my dogs out for a walk last fall and I noticed a fresh blood trail that went on my usual path for 3 miles, I saw a few arrows stuck in trees, and then I ran into a hunter and his family who were looking for a bear they had wounded! I was

. This is a residential neighborhood with most lots being less than 5 acres, the school buses were going to drop the kids off from school in just over an hour, and there was an injured bear on the loose! The bus only drops kids on the main loop, so many of those kids will still have to walk another mile to get home.

Love it! I left my back-door opened once, a couple had come in to check out the pool, and a third was on the treadmill. (they did not hop in the pool, just stood on the edge)
