I was going to try to catch up but had another 4-hour night last night and reading is like trying to catch fruitflies with my fingers.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?
It must be in the water or something. The husband is driving me nuts. If he wants a divorce...why doesn't he just say it...quit all this "skating around" the issue. He wants to make ME the bad guy so he can tell everyone that I left him. Oh, for heavens sake. Get over it already. You do or you do NOT want to save our relationship. Which is it?

Sorry, I have no one to talk to. The only way I can "talk" to him is by texting on the phone. This is insane. I am just tired.

Well my "showing" poultry will depend on what happens in the next few days. I will always have birds, but I may not have the funds to show or to come to the shows for awhile. I am just so tired of the games. I may or may not be on here for awhile...again, I may not have the time to do so for a few days.

Sorry again, needed to vent. I am so tired of all of this I cannot even cry. I am cried out over this topic. How bad is that? Okay. See you all later. I will try to get on tonight, but can't promise anything.

Applesauce.

I just had a brain-dead moment. I went shopping, and stopped to get gas. Now, I've been getting gas for a bazillion years, but today I FORGOT HOW! Oh, not the pumping bit, that is easy. I just couldn't figure out how to get my cards to work. How insane is that?
(So, and this is the embarrassing bit - I went to another gas station!)

I did the same thing a few days ago...but usually DH pumps the gas...I do not think I have pumped gas for YEARS !!!!

Well, we had so much rain.......needless to say we have several rivers running all around us down the hill...we have springs, and usually they behave themselves, but not last night !
The one spring above the Buckeye pen blew around the pipe, and ran across their pen, through the fence into the Cuckoo Marans pen, down the hill (we are talking mega gallons per minute here !) and then it diverted & ran right into their coop door, which was closed & locked, but not water tight, and filled their coop up about 2" deep.
I just mucked it all out & laid in fresh shavings 3 days ago !!!!!!!!!!!

The water ran through their coop, out the people door & down the hill past our cabin.
All the pens are freshly washed now !!

After hauling buckets of wet clean shavings out to dump...mopped the left over water, dumped DE allover inside & laid in fresh shavings again.

THEN we had to hit the yard with rakes & hoes to dig little trenches to divert the water.....

THEN we gave all the babies their Marek's vaccine.

Then DH went to town only to find the slide had slid.........You who came here last summer remember that they had the road closed for months while the DOT "fixed" the hill side & added drain pipes, etc ?
Well.it all slid again & all day BIG double dumps have been ripping by with loads of the snotty clay/sandy mud.

So to get to town we have to drive the other way toward South bend & back up 101 to Raymond...17 miles round trip where the other way is 3 miles round trip

Great ! Just in time for gas prices to escalate !!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, not much we can do about it !

They are all over the yard dabbleing mud & having a blast.
It is a good day to be a duck.....again !!!!!!!!

Oh Yah, nice and clean! All the ducks having a blast. Now that the wind has stopped, even the chickens are out.

Can't imagine all your "rivers" - must be insane!
