Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[minihorse927]

Okay I got the guy in the Red Suit locked in my duck pen.....Ifen you wanna see him again it'll cost you some of them tiny ducks.......

I'll trade ducks for venison!

You sure its not something else thats given you the munchies? Sounds highly possible 

yes, it does!

Eh... I wasn't talking about these...

Those are some fat sausages!

Chrissy *might* have nibbled a bit more food slop, I saw uneven patterns in the bottom... She's still very annoyed that I had to spray her wounds, but I just wish she'd start eating. It's been four days now.

She did, however, stand upright on one web and a wing for a moment to fix the way she was sitting!! Even bigger progress!!

e great news !

awwwwwwwwwww!

Those decisions are always rough sour. If they try it with you I am sure there are many houses you can run away to. We've got an extra bedroom, if don't mind the sound of the incubator running in there

Hey, make me part of the process, and I will deal with it.  I have been searching plans for a lily pad house.  The Pond might become my permanent residence -'Estates in the Muck'. 

Couldn't think of a better place than the pond, Sour! In fact, I'm sure DW would send me to a neighbouring lily pad in a heart-beat

Hows Mini doing today?

 

[WalnutHill]

Six dozen pierogis cooked and ready for transport to our daughter's house for this afternoon. Recalcitrant stove top seems to have 'self healed'. I shut off the breaker when we went away and just for the heck of it turned it back on yesterday morning.

It was no longer flashing numbers and beeping. Worked fine today - we'll see.

Will sure be nice if we can skip the $90 service call scheduled for Tuesday.


On another note - sometimes the aging process sucks. My oldest sister is 88 years old. Her kids have taken away her license, and one nephew and his family have moved in with her. (Of her 4 boys he's the best one to live with her.) She's not happy. We come from relatively strong, stubborn stock and were raised to be independent people. Maybe one of the reasons this bothers me so is that I can see the possibility of a similar future. Hopefully I will make my own decisions because I have serious problems with others deciding for me - even out of love. Not meaning to be a 'debby downer', but it's sort of eating at me today. We went to her house last night, and it hurt to see her unhappy.

I know exactly where you are coming from. DH's grandparents lived with us for a while as a transition between home and assisted living. He had several strokes, she had Alzheimers. We had to be the ones to take his car keys and sell the car to keep him from driving. Very independent man and it hurt us to see him hurting from the realization that he was dependent on others.

My dad had a few dependent weeks while on hospice.

My mom is dependent on me to make her financial decisions, which is good because she is horrible with money management. Problem is there isn't even enough to cover necessities with that big house and acreage. Anyone want to buy a lovely Mission style home and 10 acres in always sunny Rio Grande Valley?

My uncle just passed away and I am assisting my cousin, who lives up north but is wintering in Arizona, with administering the estate.

Send a dozen or two pierogis my way, please...I miss my grandma's cooking. Or a recipe would do just as well

I had a glass smoothtop range once upon a time. Hated that thing with a passion. Love my 1934 Garland gas range.

Merry Christmas!

I was just trying to give everyone a chuckle......

Good morning all and Merry Christmas! Hope everybody has a great day. Mini I hope all is ok with your arm. My 1 coop was obviously not ventilated well enough during the freeze and my birds in there all have that nasty phlegm cough-I don't have enough baytril on hand to give them all pills so sulfa in the water with fingers crossed.

The other coop all seem to be fine. I feel bad for anybody who has sick kids around the holidays....

On a lighter note, Bill had a beautiful chicken quilt hand made for me-I will post pics when I can get my head together.
