Not me. We got skunked on the rain again today.
I watched the radar yesterday & today, saw some impressive looking storms, then....nothing. A few sprinkles, barely showed on the concrete. And it was just lightening out a little while ago off in the distance, but that peetered out too.
I watered some of my pots today, but have to finish up tomorrow. And the darn woodchuck nibbled the buds off my black-eyed susans right before they were going to open.
Don't know where that vile little creature came from, but he can return there any time now.
Cind, I hope the new dog works out for you. You'll have to post pics.
kristip, sorry your pullet wasn't getting better, but glad Carol gave you a helping hand. It was for the best. Hope DD is doing ok, & the littermate.
TO, you sound just like me. I just love those old barns & get bummed when I see old ones rotting away or getting torn down. Those new metal ones just have no character, no history. It makes me sick too when I hear of people doing away with animals. Call me weak or a woosie, but I couldn't do it. You're absolutely right: people are taking over all the places that the animals lived, so where are they supposed to go? I envy people who sew too. Glad you liked the Wiki post. I like learning things too. I didn't know the DNR released some Amer. martens in WI, but they said on Wiki that their diets were mostly voles, fruit, other vegetation, and insects, with other things dependant on their geographic location. They didn't mention chickens, but the beech marten from Europe that escaped in SE WI have been known to kill chickens. My sis had almost half her flock killed by them. Nasty lil beasties. And good luck with the surgeries. I hope they went well.
Jim, my dentist told me if you get a tooth pulled, the tooth above or below it that it used to hit against would become weak & could eventually cause you problems. Oops! Nevermind. Sorry about the roo. And I sure hope you are feeling better soon.
Sorry to hear about your power being out, FM. Glad you got the incubator to keep running.
Deb, I'd drop those gals off at the nearest motel with their mother (or you could send them over by Cind. She knows how to get kids to turn their attitudes around). And if the mom has no friends to listen to her (gee, I wonder why?), give her the # for a psychiatrist. And I've got some berry bushes for you, just let me know.
BBP, I think Taffy is adorable.
Hurley, sorry about your hen.
Dornes, I absolutely love cows! But DH would disown me for sure. Hey, FT?????
Speaking of which, she should be back tomorrow, right? Not that I haven't tried to fill in in her absence.
