Been a long time since I've posted, my life has been consumed by my grand daughter. Daughter took off a little over 2 weeks ago and went back to the boyfriend. I forgot just how much work babies were as my youngest is nearly 14.
Here's a photo of her when she was a month and half, she is now 2 months old and growing so fast.
I have much better photos, just haven't had time to download them off my card and this was the latest I had on my phone.
I have lost alot of chickens due to the weather(mostly the very young ones, I shipped them outside too soon and a few really old ones) and not being well enough prepared. The 4 are finally out of the house and in with my BLRW coop and doing well. All coops now have heat which should of been done long before the bad cold set in but I just couldn't get to it with everything going on.
Chicks raised in the house, Athena(blrw) sure was too big to be in the house, I hope her color darkens up. Her lacing seems to be consistent but far from quality I'm sure.
The Boys
The Girls
Went in last Tuesday and had injections into my sacrailic joints, the only relief I had is while the numbing shot was active about 6 hours and nothing since. They said if it was going to work I should know by day 7 which is today but nothing. Right back to the same pain I had before the shot. I'm not sure if they'll try another time again or not. They did say that they don't fuse the joints and my right has pulled apart from walking all these years with my right leg being 1 1/2 inches shorter and noone finding it or even checking until about 10 months ago. Something is obviously messed up with my record transfer from Marshfield Clinic to the Mayo clinic as none of my scans show the damage that I was shown when they were done prior. I am requesting they do new scans as I know the damage but last week he showed me a cat scan with perfect vertebra and disks and I know they are not mine. Also when I went to Rochester my mri's didn't show my stroke so they didn't believe I even had one. Someone screwed up somewhere.
Finally got the wood stove hooked up around Xmas so I've been spending alot of time out in the woods with the boys cutting wood. Sure is alot of work but it's been heating the addition and cutting back on the gas for the house. At $2.22 a gallon it's worth the extra work for sure, besides the electric is saving not running 4 extra heaters. My Jonsered saw blew a rod bearing 4 cuts into a tree after I just spent $82 on a new bar and chain. Traded my Husky(it was a 42, never meant for cutting firewood) in on a Jonsered 655 and paid $140 so I'm back cutting mad. Thankful for my boys, I just have to cut it up and they do all the rest. I picked up a decent sled for them to haul it in out of the woods.
Congrats on the pups Jim, good luck with the interviews babylady, Judy hope your rooster picked up, I know I'm forgetting more. Someone got kittens hope they are doing well. Daughters trying to talk me into getting one for Anellia but I'm not ready for another cat at this time after losing Seymour.
