Rosie wants to know, What do you mean you cant have anymore????Thank you, FrankieDoodle! It works!
Your chickens are so pretty, such lovely colours and feather patterns! All my flock are shades of black, grey and white at the moment, I'd love a chocolate pekin or a red laced bird of some kind but i just can't have any more right now.
Oh no! Turkey day...
Last year I made a nice salmon but this year DH is ono for turkey. I usually feel up to the task but rarely till the last minute the last 5 years or so. Normally it is still pretty hot and well, baking and cooking in a small kitchen that heats the house further plus all of the cleaning and packaging.... well, the best part is sharing a couple big fat plates with my neighbors who don't cook. They are always so grateful and gushing that it makes the effort worth it. ♡♡♡
I love cooking, so of course I love thanksgiving!! My mom has decided not to do Thanksgiving this year. Which I guess is ok but since all her kids are finally getting along this year I really thought she would hold one. But oh well. I can’t do it because of the puppies just being born and too much for momma, my sister can’t cause her house is WAY to small and my brother can’t because he is doing a remodel. So it’s just us this year. I just love cooking for other people…so cookies and pies it is.Cleaned my fridge this morning getting ready for Thanksgiving. Our egg bin is finally refilled after our trip. Hubby was glad - we haven't bought eggs in years and the current price was a bit of a shock! I had 2 grown men caring for everything that could have collected eggs while we were gone...instead we ended up with a nearly empty egg bin and a bunch of chicks. He was going to buy some, looked at the price and decided maybe collecting eggs is would have been a good idea! I'm glad our girls keep laying.
Hubby runs around singing a count down to "turkey week" here...."4 more days til it's turkey week"❤. Hows everyone's T-day prep going?
Sounds like you guys should go cook over at mom's house ♡
We offered that too. And offered to set up and even cook all of it. She is getting floors done so no matter what we can’t.
I still haven't looked up sticktight fleas...morbid curiosity has me wanting to. They sound awful. Hopefully you got the jump on them and it won't be bad.Welp. It's Wednesday!
Not much to report chickenwise, been focused on bags and stands. I did feel good getting to the scraping of boards yesterday as I had taken a day off from (obviously) so had a bit of a stinky pike up of sorts. The main coop is crowded and I have some poopers!
Been leaving AJs gate open and it has really helped with the crowd. The day b4 yesterday my little, little Buff B found some trouble and had a bloodied neck. Don't know if he got stuck or bullied or attacked. DH and I had been installing a new radiator on my truck and well, I did not hear anything... felt bad to not be there for (him?) ☹ He cleaned up well though, I could not find the source. I applied a topical to the area and the beeper has been bouncing around since. Other two sticktight flea chicks have been fine with no more signs of a re-infestation but I don't think I will get away that easy.... so, TBC. 👁👁👁
Today is going to be more of the same. Painting, sewing, finishing stand & starting another. Oh, and haircut for me! Such a treat!!
By replacing the big stand w/ a little one I did get to take home some surplus after bringing fresh bags, though they had done a good job of thinningand I have kept about 150+ bags out of the landfill to date!
Salmon! Unusual and delicious I betOh no! Turkey day...

. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is getting my fridge empty before hand...lol. It's the one time a year I can clean the fridge easily . I've never thought of seeing if my neighbors would like a plate. I have one that just might...what a lovely idea
so win. These little stands are close by home so easy to check and fill.
Thank you!!
Thank you!I'm feeling great now. Bite itself still hurts, but I feel healthy again and that's what I needed most.
Warm snow....I do remember what that's like! Those days are delightful!
Aw...that is lovely
You take some really good pictures! That's a very colorful flock! Poor Molly...she looks like a very wise bird with that face though doesn't she? And Beigies still such a looker!
I'm in AZ actually. Moved here from WA though. Been a desert rat for 27 years now though.
Thanks! Aw, I’m sorry to hear you can’t get more of them right now. : (Thank you, FrankieDoodle! It works!

That stand looks gorgeous! I love the signs. <3View attachment 3325102
Oh my goodness I got my new brushes and pens in today! So. Much. Easier.
The one I am finishing up now is almost exact. I did add- "Give a little, grab a bag" to both boxes.
The black is a chalkboard paint so I can chalk in a suggested donation but was thinking maybe I will just leave it up to the people. Probably make more $ that way and certainly get rid of more bags
K. Don't laugh but I did not get the KCCP logo centered for some reason. Not sure what happened lol.
