Lol I don’t always drink a cup usually a few times sometimes more a week...but since it’s not available this morning of course I want it there’s always a fresh pot every morning but we forgot to go to store last night I was finishing up my coop while the man was at the neighbors building his coop and putting in fence poles..probably be helping him today to get the fence up..still deciding what I’m going to do while everyone is at work..my plans were get my garden going but with moving in a little less than two months no garden...neighbor did offer for me to put some in his so I’ll probably go that route this year..or I considered five gallon buckets and just do some tomatoes, peppers and whatnot..

I cant go without my coffee.
The buckets is a good idea.

The buckets are a good idea. Take them with you!
I didn't get seeds planted this year, so i guess I'll buy some started plants. We usually just do a few tomatoes, i like romas, and some peppers and cucumbers.

Im not sure if we are gonna try a garden this year. I would like to at least do some tomatoes and peppers tho..

Im trying to get it going. Its been crazy..
I drink coffee all day... i know, i know...
!

I actually told my onc once "I've given up alcohol completely (not that I liked the stuff anyway), take all those nasty drugs and done everything you've asked of me without question, BUT, you'll pry my coffee cup out of my cold dead hand!" The look on his face was priceless!

Of course my neighborhood is five houses surrounded by nothing but trees..... I'm thinking that the closest kids are two miles away.....

Pretty much us too. We have a total of 3 neighbors more or less along our southern property line clustered at the end of the road (we are a ways off the end) and one more about a half mile or so further to the south. That's the only one with kids. Never seen them come down the road but then they're girls. All our problems have been with the "grownups" or their girlfriend's kids going unsupervised while they drank and partied.

I told hubby i want the propety line towards the road fenced. " Why? "...
Um yeah, neighbors, drunk guys, stray dogs. I mean we have only had one incident but... why wait?

Ditto. We've kind of worn out the trying to be good neighbors thing and so now we are being proactive. (Thank heaven the one neighbor that shares the rest of our southern border are great folks. Always there, never here unless they think we might need help, they need help and never without a phonecall first. Oh, and in the spring when we are swapping baby critters.)

Good morning pond dwellers..I have googled this question with no answers! Which really surprises me, simply,
WILL CHICKS DIE IF STUCK ON THEIR BACKS IN INCUBATORS...when they accidentally flip over? It’s driving me crazy, it seems like they would!
Please give me some opinions..

I've only had one chick die inside the incubator after hatching. They do flip on their backs a lot, and I doubt that it is good for them to stay that way very long, but usually they get flipped back over pretty easily. Tap the window, startle the chick. It'll flip.

Now, if one got stuck between eggs, or wedged somehow on its back, I wouldn't leave it very long. jmho

Morning Pond!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes about my puppers

Well, the best laid plans,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the start on the fence yesterday turned out to be an expensive trip to town. DH loaded up the trailer to the Husquvarna lawn tractor and headed toward the fenceline. Only made it a few feet before he looked like one of those bug foggers they used to drive thru the drive-in theaters before the movies. Black smoke everywhere! Another engine bites the dust. DH declares it dead. Off to town. Long story short, we discover we could buy a whole new tractor for about the same cost as a new engine for the old one (now 15 yrs old). A little shopping and shopping around (stumbled across a great deal on a much bigger HP Husquy with a larger cutting deck) and home to get the trailer and DH heads back to town. No fence work this morning either because DH is out in the field taking his new toy for a "test drive" .
He just came in the door with a big smile and a
