Anyone looking to bring plants can ball the roots in a plastic bag and tie the bag up the stems.That way you don't have to scrounge for pots.

Wow... so many people getting so much done in their gardens!

Twizz.... How old is your dog? Duke had bouts like that his last couple of years. Thought we were going to loose him a couple of times. He had reoccuring ear infections too that would mess him up to where he couldn't walk or even get up. Hope the treatments work for him!

bl4... Hope you can make him comftabale. Too bad about the little duck, hope you get another friend.

Wow... started this post about 9:30... went to do some stuff and was suprised when I came back and saw I didn't post it!

TO... glad the new horse is working out! Sounds like he's not going to have an issue with anything! Although my uncle had one that was great with everything but small bridges, so there still could be some quarks.

I haven't been reading lately

but when I do it's Si-Fi (read allot of Star Trek) or some Fantasy.

You think those kitty pics were cute... wait for the weekly up dates! (maaaahaaaa! )

Night all!

Good evening--had to catch up on the "news." I have to tell you about Carol and my ride this afternoon...the new guy (Commander, 11YO TN walker Gelding) was fabulous! We decided to stop at the river and see if they wanted a drink. Well I finally got him stopped when the water was up to his chest and my ankles! I guess He has no problem with water crossings! I thought Carol was going to wet right up there on MY saddle! She was laughing Ho Ho Ho like Santa Claus! THen we crossed a bit of a ditch and he went right thorough! His head sure was on a swivel though...had to keep looking all around. Brodie (my other horse) did very well I thought with Carol. THey needed to have a meeting of the minds in the beginning. It is nice to see another person riding so I can see what he does with his feet when gaiting.

I have a few chicks in my chick TV that are puzzling me. Maybe someone has an idea? There are these two that hatched yesterday that are scratching and scratching like a dog scratching at its ear! THey scratch so hard it makes them fall over on their backs! I looked for bugs...nothing. THe only think I can think of is that there is a bit of albumin left on their feathers, could that be making them itch so frantically? THey look like they want to scratch their eyes out!

OK I need to hit the hay--sweet dreams all! TErri O

Yeah.. me and Brodie had issues.. I am used to having them with my horse... BUT really.. did.. I felt like Yosemite Sam.. When i say whoa.. I say WHOA.. I MEAN WHOA!! LOl

But MY god.. what a great horse she has.. both of hers... Commander (Commando/Hondo) till he learns his new name...
He (I think) was rode on tons of trails.. and may have been a horse for Field Trials

Any way, it was good all around!

What type of bedding? Pine shavings? I am planning on stopping at Fleet Farm on my way home today to get both pine shavings and food....which of the two brands was it? Ugh..knock on wood-so far I've never had mites-would really be ticked if I got them from new purchased bedding! let me know what you find out.

It was the Dejno's bedding, and it most definately was the bedding, because my rooster down stairs had them and he has no contact with any other birds in months, also my new babies and my hurt hen had them and no one else because I hasdn't yet added any to the coop, just got the other cages, the bag was ripped open, and taped shut so could have been from Fleets warehouse......which is full of birds, or ot could have come from the main warehouse at Dejno's....I took it all back and didn't buy any more I got a yard and a 1/2 of sand instead........


H&R the babies are 7 weeks I did the flea and tick and am praying I didn't just make them sick or worse....was afraid to do the seven, but I did move them to a clean pen, no bedding just new sand sprinkled with DE......I hope it works....

Terri Nice looking gelding wish I could get a deal like that..... I always end up paying too much, for horses that need too much work, and I always need more time wish I could buy some of that cheap !!!!!!!!!!!!

BL4 so sorry to hear about kitty, I have been praying he gets better..... having older animals is so hard, I have a 13 year old dog who had cancer 3 years ago, got rid of it and now its back with a vengeance, she will not make it long the medicine isn't working or helping at all this time, very soon I will have to make a horrible decision, and I know already I am not gonna like it 1 little bit, but it's come too her pain and how she gets around, over how much I'm gonna miss her........... Such a horrible thing to do, but sometimes it must be done......


MLH have had this problem most of this spring they have been treated and retreated in 10 day twice now, and there is no way my rooster down stairs in basement could get them, other wise, he is taken care of each morning before I do chores and has had no contact with any birds, and yes they are NFMites.... we also 3 times now including today completely emptied the stall vacumed, scrubbed, bleached, sprayed the walls with bleach and Flea and tick shampoo, changed the bedding, you name it everything I read I did........ to no avail, we will see if they come back now, no more bedding........... so in 3 weeks I'll let ya all know.....


Cute forward Angie......LMAO


Raimnel It was me home aid BBQ/ sloppy joes, hope everyone can eat grass fed beef, tomatoes seasoning, onions, green peppers Ketchup, brown sugar..


Cindlady........awwwwwwwwwww cute kitties, love babies kitties, wish they stayed small I have a couple fat cats LOL the males is 15 lbs pork chop I call him.


Apyl have you ever read the jean M Auel series, its awsum and will keep busy for some time each books is over 700 pages and there is 6 and they are my favorites re read them at least once year over the long boring winter.


Well I hope I didn't forget anyone, its past my bedtime LOL like I ever have one of those............. late late is usual but after all the stall cleaning dusting 22 chickens, shoveling about 2000lbs of sand I'm beattttttttttttttttt Nite all Kim

Good Morning .
I went out this morning and let everyone out and while I was talking to DD on the porch the ducks were quacking away (wich is typical) but then we hear one of the weirdest crows lmao. Whoever did it sounded just like a lamb baaaaaing lol. DD and I both looked at each other like what the heck. As soon as I opened the coop door it stopped So now I dont know who did it lol.

Morning all!

yep, frost at least as far south as Post Lake (aka us of course). Knew it was coming and we covered (most stuff still in the greenhouse) so no losses. Wish this was the last one but know it's not.

I just hope we make it thru the first week of June without a FREEZE this year

Hope you all have a great time at the bash. Sounds like loads of fun. Will some of you be posting pics?

Would love to see. Maybe next year when I am not such a newbie I can come? That is if old fogies are allowed?

TO~what a steal on that beautiful horse! Bought a horse (a Tennessee Walker) once that was supposed to be afraid of water but I found out the hard way he actually loved to play in it!

Got to head out now, check for eggs, open the little greenhouse up and uncover my field plants. Looks like a great day, enjoy everyone!

DON~ I will be giving my gleet hen her butt wash again this afternoon and I will let you know if Monistat worked (if not, I do plan to pick up some more in town today and continue for another 3 days~let you know)

Good chilly morning to all! I am heading to Madison shortly to go to Elaine's and get some plants (and take her a couple NB chicks for her broody) and to meet Mazo's friend who is picking up some quail eggs for them to hatch...then I have to go and get hay so the girls have something to feed the critters on the weekend. Man I wish I didnt have to go so far...

Took a look at the finances and saw that DH has been using a credit card while on his business trip THAT I JUST PAID OFF!!! Now I have to go and redo the "pay balance on card" thingy...no WAY we can pay off that balance in one fell swoop! Dope!

ANyone have any idea about the "itchy/scratchy" chicks? They are still trying to scratch their eyes out this morning...it almost seems like there is something in their ears? No idea.

Well, it's 9 and I better go and feed the masses so I can be on the road to Madtown by 10. Have a fantastic day everyone! I might even take another ride on my horse today...Carol--we shoulda taken a few pics! Darn!
