To all of you who went to Feather Fanciers and didn't take home some muscovies from Pettec, you are missing out! I butchered a couple today and they look just mouthwatering! They did have more pinfeathers than I like to pluck, so I rough plucked them then waxed them and it turned out very well. Yum yum!

Thanks to her, I can finally try out Confit de Canard and give the gift of locally raised poultry this Christmas (I am giving a 'ducken' to a couple people this Christmas- all locally raised). Thanks again, Julie! The colors are gorgeous and I'm thinking of keeping an extra girl!

I had wonderful visit with FlyRobin on Friday. Robin came out to the house to meet Puppy, and see my chickens. I called eenie and she was able to pop over long enough to have tea and crumpets with us. The jam eenie brought is fabulous. Just before Robin left eenies sisters came over, and they spent the rest of the afternoon with me. They were able to get me to clean the coop.

It was fine 2 days ago, but by yesterday it was in need of a quick clean. I really enjoyed the company. We need to get together with a South Sound group soon.

Well I should head off to bed for a little bit.

Would be seriously happy if I could just sleep until the 27th.

Ooops!

I was at the gas staion in town Monday afternoon, by a little seldom used alleyway. There was a UPS driver delivering something to the station, and while I was there, a big UPS truck pulled into the alley and within minutes 3 smaller trucks pulled up and got their evening deliveries off the big truck. I was glad to see the just had the big truck drive out from Redmond, the delivery drivers did not need to drive all the way back to Redmond for their second load.

HI everyone, newby lurker here.....VBG.....Had to chuckle....In the 80's our neighbor worked for UPS. We lived in Lynnwood then...She had to drive to *Redmond* only to drive to the *Lynnwood* area to deliver, to go back to *Redmond* etc....The Everett UPS distribution center was less than 10 minutes away....

Thanks Jeanine for directing me to Washington Forum...... really enjoying everyones posts....

I'm trying an experiment: Sylvia hasn't given me an egg in three days, which is about two days after they'd eaten all the grass in their run. My flower beds have huge lumps of grass which I never feel like digging up all at once, but which one at a time look like...chicken supplements?

We shall see: they just got a 18" across chunk of quackgrass.

Oh, and we used to have at least two rats. Hooray for the rat zapper!

Larry has excellent taste.
