Amazing how many fewer chickies 6 looks, compared to 14.

(Blessed relief).

Greg, what are those logs at Del's called? Are they the lignetic logs? Also, do you have any recommendations of anyone in the area for putting in a heat pump? I ask only because you are in the construction business, no worries if you don't have any ideas. Our furnace had issues earlier this week, and we got a quote to put in a heat pump but want to shop around. I think we have decided to just repair the furnace now, but want to pursue the heat pump maybe this time next year. And if anybody else has any recommendations, we'd love to hear them!

Stocked up at Monroe F&F yesterday on layer pellets big time! Can't beat that price! Wasn't sure my poor little SUV was gonna make it home with all the weight in there!

I bought 600 pounds of feed and a couple of flock blocks! My back-end was dragging! The people there are very nice. I also was able to get Alex size 15 mud boots for only $13; and made in USA! Much sturdier than the cute, colorful Chinese made boots that DD wanted. She fot some sturdy US made ones too and I told her she can paint them.

Or she can get some of these http://www.etsy.com/shop/WithTheRain?ref=seller_info

It's the tool fairies. They come in the night and move things the day before you need the tool. I'm sure of it!

Big, strong fairies: I can no longer pick up the bar, or it wouldn't be laying there anymore!

Sorry to have missed you while you were in town! We probably just missed each other at Monroe F&F!!! Hope your MRI goes well and do put that leg up today!

And what bantam breed have you fallen for? Is it the Serama's?

Has yet another been hooked by the wonderful little seramas? they are so fun.

Nope.
Not Seremas.
It is Bantam Barnesvelders, that lay a really big egg!!!!!!!!!

I'll take all of the leaves and needles I can get for my perennial beds. What do you think makes part of a great compost?
Add back to your soil what naturally would fall on it and you have great growth without having to spend all kinds of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for fertilizers and chemicals.

All I got to say is if you are going to BLOW crap out of gutters you better be ready to clean up your own mess! Maintaining beds to look their best is a lot of work. It really irritates me to have to go and clean up gutter gunk out of them. Not to mention cleaning off the sidewalks and driveways.

This is what I was saying: roof junk is not the same as mulch! (And having stuff fall twelve feet into your perennials is not nearly the same as carefully mulching).
