My older son gets the pleasure of driving us. Beaver dam is maybe an hour away. Not sure as I rarely go anyplace, but it's nice to have a guilted chauffeur. Oh he's a good boy and will do almost anything for his mother. Anything except take care of the animals. He did enough of that when he lived at home. Alex saw the pics and you know what his response was. MINE. I think he better start doing many many


I will be in bd for the swap! Bright and early lol I have to go there for my dog cc lass at 9 anyway what time do you plan?

We plan to go EARLY so we can get back and let the turkeys roam. My hope is that we will get up and be there shortly after opening, but some of that will depend on the getting up part.

What are you asking for the BBs?

You guys crack me up.

Not much happening here. The girls are lovin' the FF. At first they would eat only a little and then they began gobbling it all up. I still have their dry food out there as an option, but I do believe that they are eating less of it. I also have wheat berries that I've sprouted that I've been feeding them.

I am still waffling on whether I'm gonna cull the 3 birds that I have. The dominant one, is loud like a rooster at times, but always hackles when someone steps outside. Another one quietly mimics her. Their egg production was consistent up until we hit January, then it was hit or miss even with light provided. I am thinking that I'll think some more on this...but leaning towards culling.

The rabbit is mad at me (I swear)! He won't come to me now and I think it is because I keep blocking his tunnel up. Every other day (or two) he digs to China. But I always find it and stuff the earth back in the hole. He just runs circles around me.

Haven't heard any news on the house yet. The owners have submitted their documents and we are just waiting on the mortgage company.

The cat is getting blisters and losing hair again. The doc said it was an allergy of some sort and to give prednisone. Good thing the crazy cat loves the medicine. He even comes when I shake the bottle and I don't even have to hold his mouth shut. Any suggestions? I have given ACV in water, but not consistently. I'll try to do that more regularly because its should help, right? What about FF? Has anyone fermented cat food?

I am going to stay away and out of his way.. I will go back on Thursday and start paneling in the sides and start putting in shelf brackets ..
