I think that this is THE one single best rule that I picked up from my mother in-law. The person who cooks, does not touch a dish to clean it. Works wonderfully, especially on hollidays.

So I watched th news for about 5 minutes before I left for work this morning. And saw that someone out torwards Lynnwood had a fire started by a heat lamp in their coop, that travled to their house... I wasn't able to watch the rest, but I sure hope it wasn't one of our own... And I also hope that too much damage wasn't done. Has anyone other than me heard anything about this? Such a horrible way to start out the holliday season.
Has everyone thawed out yet? I'm sitting at what should be a comfy 44*, but I am freezing, even though I'm all bundled up with the furnace running at 67*... I must be coming down with something. Whatever it is, I hope it runs its course quikly, cause I have alot of work to do. The private barn that I manage is mildly flooded from the melt off, and I have all sorts of limbs to clean up, plus I need to walk the fenceline and make sure everything is still secure. Ah storm season, and all the extra work it brings me. lol This is gonna be a long winter, once it actually starts.
So after reading about everyones losses and near losses with power outages. Ive decided to not sat up an incubator until spring. I just have this feeling that it would be better for me to wait and do my first run with an incubator in the spring. We actually lost power for 8 hours. Better than most people around the Kitsap Penninsula, but this was the first time our power has been out for longer than 20 mintues. There are still trees down everywhere, the power company is still working hard. I'm glad the weather has warmed up, I'm almost out of coffee and hot cocoa from giving it to the power crews all week. But boy they sure did appreciate the warm drinks, and hot soups my mother and I took them!
Had to help a sheriff climb out of his car on Tuesday, as it was sitting on its side in a ditch. Poor guy looked frightened to death, all pail and sickly looking. Had to sit with him for a while to make sure he was ok, until another squad car got there. The roads here were nasty up until late yesterday morning.
All in all its been a frustrating and exciting week. lol And now we all get to look back, figure out what worked and what didn't, and prepare for the next round to come our way. OH! And don't forget to laugh, smaile, and be happy. After all it is the dreaded holliday season!
Happy hollidays everybody!

There is no "I" in Ameraucana
It's gotten up to a balmy 32 here today. Break out the sunscreen and the bikinis!!!!!
At least we got some "meltage" today and it will be warmer tomorrow.

Odds are it is a phone box.
Turned out it was a phone box. Called the phone company again today, this time calling the residential repair phone number and passed by the box about a half hour ago and the phone co was there buttoning it up. Frustrating though. The power company had a direct line to the operations department located lacally. I actually talked to the repair people. The Phone Co only has 800 numbers and all calls are sent to another state so the person you talk to has no idea about damage repair and all they do is take a message and send the repair request by computer to our state. I was tempted to just go by the local office and knock on the door. Would have been easier. You would think the could have a local number in the phonebook for these kinds of things. Well, at least the guy spoke english and he was in the US and not some other country!

Anyone looking for a premade run? Looks sturdy/well built, and not to horrid of a price.

We have that same law, but now that my Mom is in her 70s, she sits out the clean up anyway, queen's rights !
Wether she cooks or not.
