Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[jvls1942]

good chilly afternoon,, Nephew finally showed up.. we got the GH dirt all graded and made two sections of wall.. then he got too cold, so we called it quits..

I hope the guy fights the hold order .. If he was not doing anything wrong, then how can they make a hold order ? that is like finding him guilty before a trial.. I hope he has a good lawyer..
Here are your campaign funds at work..

still holding at 3 keets hatched..

First hatch was a success! 5 out of 7 hatched and are doing great! 2 hatched but died in the incubator not sure what happened it was during the night. I helped the last one it had a huge air cell when I candled and jammed so tight in the egg and the membrane was dried out! Ugh it was a long weekend w/o a lot of sleep but they are all so adorable! hopefully the kids at school won't squeeze them to death tomorrow! Haha

Yaya!!!! Congrats what kind?

thx delisha! I have one Australorp( who survived an 'incident', and one bantam cochin that a friend have us to keep my girl company. I (i mean we, but it was my idea to keep chickens, so they're really mine!) am getting 10 (st. Run)on thursday that I'm told are cinnamon queens. They're coming from sunnyside and they just call them brown. I hope I don't have trouble from my 3wk. old girls.
This is my first time raising chicks.

I am curios to hear about the "incident". Just want ed to let you know, 11 chickens are NOT enough! Lol welcome.

Jim, hope that hatch starts moving...

Today was a lazy day for sure!
To stopped! We really enjoyed the visit magic the bordercollie was also a lot of fun. She gave our chessy a run for his $ chasing sticks lol
Eggs are set!!!!! Due on the 17th. I dont know if I will beable to wait lol

Welcome AmyB!!!! It would be great if you would try and make the bash this weekend!

Gotta give a shout out to my DH, he is out in the garage right now making a nesting box for my budgies.....

Gave them a treat of oranges and some strawberries. I hope my mom can manage giving them the nutritional support they need right now. It will keep her busy at least! I just doused their wooden perch with Eucalyptus EO, so pretty soon they will all be on the perch rubbing their faces all over it. If I manage to get any babies out of this I'll post pics.

I cooked up some of the BF's salmon that he gave us for dinner tonight. It is pretty good! I make some asparagus and fried taters to go along with it.

CC, your bug repellent smells eerily like Ricola......

Thanks to all the Veterans on this special day. Lovin my freedom everyday.

Sounds like everyone has stuff going on. I got the second garden planted today...only one to go...

it always feels good when the last seed goes in.

Hope you folks don't catch all the fish, and save a few for me in the near future.

Thought for sure you were the one with the winning numbers sold in fremont bl4...dang!

The bash is at N11605 Boy Scout Road, Clintonville, Wi 54929..in case you get lost...phone at the camp is (715) 754-4900.....someone will help you find camp...it's easy...right off hwy45...

Hard to believe at this time next week...the bash will already be over.....

Have fun...oh ya, thanks for the byc banner angie...keep forgettin to thank-you.

We got a huge amt of outside work done today. At least, considering the weather was kinda crappy and we weren't out for too long, we got a LOT done in the time we WERE out. Hubby got frustrated and decided to buy some weed killer for the garden. I can't take this anymore. There's no way I can pluck every single blade of grass, every friggin' weed, dig out every clump of dandelion, and who knows wth else is growing out there. I can work for HOURS and still not be fully done with 1/4th of it!!! The stuff does say that 's safe to use in flower gardens and vegetable gardens. But it says to wait 3 days to plant. I think I'd rather give it a week. but DH says they're not going to tell you that if it isn't safe. They have to go thru strict testing with that stuff before they can say to just throw it out in your veggie garden that ppl will be eating. So I guess we'll see. We got so so so sooooooooo much cleaning done in the house over the last week or two to get ready for our family/friends coming over for our Memorial Day get-together. There's still stuff to do, like clean the stuff out of the den that got shoved in there w/the door closed so no one would see the mess! LMAO! And I have to finish cleaning the spare bedroom, as that's kinda become a catch-all junk room and I friggin HATE that! Finish getting caught up on laundry, and I've also got to get the older batch of chicks outside, clean/bleach the sterelite tub out, and then move the middle batch into there so they have extra room. The older ones like to fly up and perch on the edge and I'm constantly cleaning a ring of bird doo off my laundry room floor but I haven't taken the time to do it since Thursday b/c I've been so busy cleaning the rest of the house. I just kept the laundry rm door closed when everyone was over. HA! Well now Iv'e got a bigger mess to clean. Oh, well. Comes with the territory.

The girls and I are getting excited about chickenstock and have stuff packed and/or set aside already on top of a running list of things not to forget and last minute food to buy. DD16's getting really excited about the stewpot so I'm afraid I can't turn her down. I have a huge pot I can cook on the stovetop or I can bring a different thing to cook it in the oven. It doesn't sound like the firepit would be compatable w/what I origionally had in mind, no biggie, I'll just use on of the burners on the stove. I'm bringing a lot of bulk ingredients, if anyone feels like adding to the stew let me know. If anyone can spare a few carrot sticks, a few celery sticks, 3 or 4 potatoes, maybe a pound of beef? I'll prob. grab a cpl loaves of french bread to cut up and put on a platter so everyone can help themselves.

We may bring some games. I'll see if I can dig out my badminton set, maybe a soccerball to kick around for the kids, scoop toss, frisbee, maybe cards or a cpl board games?
