Good evening! Funny EL--you must have been editing while I was reading your original post. It was all underlined and in blue..then I went over it and it turned RED! Scary stuff! And weird.
We just had our delicious dinner salads. I went out and picked some very baby lettuce and herbs to supplement the greens we had. OMG was it good! No my lettuce did not freeze out--musta been somebody elses. I just love salad greens mixed with herbs. So much flavor!
I am hoping my guineas will be hatching this weekend! THere was something there when we candled at 13 days so my fingers are crossed! My neighbor that was complaining about the ticks over at his place and I do believe that he will be getting some from me. He says that he doesnt want to keep them over the winter...I told him to eat them! He said he might give them back for the winter and then take them back when the bugs come back...yeah...like I dont feed enough birds all winter!
Speaking of feeding all winter...what birds did you feed just so you could hatch from them Jim? And what were you talking about that BYC changed? I still see the thing for unread posts on the cheesehead page....
Man today was a looong day! The stuffed peppers I made at lunch were a big hit with the T. pines folks. I had never made them before but they sure looked good! Then when I was at the grocery store they had green peppers for .69/lb! So I bought a bunch and am going to make them tomorrow I think. Got a ham too but that I am going to wait on because my brother and SIL are having ham for Easter. (and we go there) I mostly bought it so I could have the bone to make bean or split pea soup...getting a taste for that again with this cooler weather we have been having!
My new client is a neat guy. I am going back there again next week.
I think the color scheme for your new coop sounds great! Personally I would go with the green on the whole thing, the door espresso and the trim terra cotta. Hmmm--maybe I need to do some painting on my house? LOL! Not that it needs it or anything!
I think I am going to have some ice cream and find a movie to watch...DH is studying on how to set up some operating system at his work...if I a watching a movie he might stop telling me about what he is reading. For me, as long as my computer works....that's all I need to know! Oh yeah, since I was gone all day I missed the FedEx guy who was attempting to deliver my new computer...GGGRRRRR! Hopefully they deliver on Saturdays...
Did I tell you that my mink cage turned chicken coop is 6" too long for the space I wanted to put it in?
Maybe I can figure out something tomorrow...goodnight and sweet dreams! Terri O
EL this is our barn red coop...not my choice but hubby was doing all the work so I let him have his way
. I was actually supposed to bring 4 home to replace the 6 old ones but they looked like crap. Certified organic is no match for actual true free range. Our chickens are beautiful and plump and happy and these sad looking things we picked up today were just pitiful. I don't think I'll do that again. I've already told hubby we're gonna have to raise our own jumbo broilers from now on cause these chickens were shockingly poorly cared for. Certified Organic or not, I won't do that again. The old ones we have now were at least free ranged before we got them. They still were a bit rough looking at first but I think it was because they had just finished molting. We got them in November.
