What's the question? I was on the phone with my mom when I typed and then deleted the dog dream post but I just hung up the phone. I feel like such a rotten daughter at times because mom is such a drag to talk to. She never has anything positive to say about anyone or anything and her life is too full of drama, but boring drama involving builders, leaky walls, improperty marked property lines and how much money it all is costing her. She lives in a beautiful little house on a cliff above the ocean in Santa Cruz. She watches whales and dolphins swim by daily. How bad can life really be? She needs to step outside, breathe the fresh air, look at where she is and be thankful for what what she has instead of griping constantly about how everyone is ripping her off. She'd have a whole lot more friends, people willing to help when she needs it, and she never would have had the time to calculate that her property line is off by a foot so she wouldn't be so stressed about payig property taxes on a few inches of land she can't use. (In her defense Ishould say her property taxes are huge, her house is small, and her lot is barely larger than her house).

The question was. Is it wrong that I avoid particular people in my DH's family like the plague? lol There are just some people that I can not for the life of me stand.

Your Mom sounds alot like my Grandmother... I love her to death, but we don't get along past an hour or so...

OK forgive me for getting in the middle of this BUT. DW's family don't like me. I have never done anything to any of them but they don't like me (unless they need me to do something for them). If I had my way I would not go to holidays I would just stay home but DW wants to go and won't go with out me so I just take her and find a quiet place to be out of sight out of mind. So my answer to your ?? is just be decent but don't go out of your way to talk to them. I have also been told another way is to go out of your way to think positive thoughts and treat them nice. Sorry the fake crap ain't me. Like I told em when theyexpressed concern that I wasn't taking care of DW. If they are so concerned then maybe they should stop by and visit her once in a while. ok sorry off that soap box !!!!

Oh I understand where your coming from. I really do. I always try my best at being civil/decent to everyone. But some people... Im not capable of hiding my feelings, or being fake. I speak my mind in a tactfull way, but am brutally honest at the same time. Was raised by a retired army sergent. Always respectful, until given a reason not to be, but at the same time, you have to earn that respect to keep it... Does that make any sence?

I don't think I've got anywhere flat big enough, now that I look at it- I would if I could get rid of 400 sq ft of freaking plum root suckers, but as it is, not so much. It'd take about 18" of foundation on the downhill side to get it level anywhere I've got free to put a coop.

Not that I've got a way to get it, or cash or trade equal to what it's worth. Whoever gets it is going to be lucky!

It's really not that big right now the foot print is 4'x16' but it will probably end up 2 4'x8' The 4'x8' will disassemble easyto 4'x8'x about 1'

We had a cloud burst...but still a bit too warm to snow here...but I bet it is up at a little higher elevation. RFF may have got some...but probably a little higher than her too. News said down to 2800 feet. She has to be really close to that.

HECK!!! I avoid all of what is left of my DH's family and most of MINE!!!!
I must be horrible. I just don't want to hear the stories all the time or how much better than me they are cuz they live in Duvall (sorry for whoever lives there) or their kid's socks are whiter because they are a better mom...or whatever. I don't have time for the garbage. Life is too short. Bring on the good.

Godiva & Floppy-Comb.Godiva will lay a very very dark egg for ya too.

Godiva is the girl w/the red legband.

I'd love to see pics of people's new hens they got from me

I love the other girls' names!

I'd love to know the names of our two girls! I don't have any pictures yet - but I was home on Wednesday afternoon so I took them out of their little quarentine coop and let them in...the GARDEN! The other girls were all looking through the fence soooo jealous!

But the two Maran girls were just huddled under the raspberries for a couple hours...and finally got brave enough to come out from under the raspberries and start digging a bit towards the end of their time. They'll get more garden time this weekend since I'll be home.

And they finally get the hot breakfast program

At least one of them does! This morning when the first girl came down for oatmeal, she gave the "broody mama call" for her buddy to come and eat! So cute! I cannot wait for this weekend to spend a bit more time with them. (And I cannot wait for one of them to give me an EGG!)

Wait, so, who got two Marans hens and who got the one pullet?


The one pullet doesn't have a name, the two hens are Godiva and Floppy-Comb.


On Hua'Hue - Don't worry on the skittish thing, she's normally VERY friendly, she's just super skittish since she started molting. Catching her was kinda sad because I had to grab her by the tail, and she started screaming bloody death. She's normally, outside molt, a sweetheart.

Both Araucanas, hen and pullet alike, are nameless. The tailed pullet though, I'd love to see photos of in a couple weeks because man is she gonna be a stunner!! That breast was already getting an almost rusted bloody red color, and I bet she'll be gorgeous fully matured.
